The jacket was delivered a week after placing the order. It's original. I used the previous model (n3b slim fit) for over a decade. For a person who is 180 cm tall and weighs 75 kg, size M is perfect, even with a slightly looser fit. Size L turned out to be really large (I checked personally). The only downside is that I had to order by phone because the website did not allow me to complete the order!

Alpha Industries N3B VF 59 Fitted Jacket - Black
Rugged winter jacket, reaching mid-thigh length, presented in Black. Outfitted with a deep hood and an optional synthetic fur trim that can be detached. The VF 59 model stands apart from the earlier N3B variant through its more tailored silhouette.

A zipper serves as the primary closure, shielded by an outer thermal flap equipped with oversized buttons that are simple to operate, even when wearing thick gloves.

I won’t elaborate on all the benefits and advantages of owning this jacket, I think my husband's answer to the question "How many years have you had the jacket?" is enough—the answer was "my whole life," and he is 55 years old. Five years ago, he bought me a winter jacket (ecru) for my birthday—super warm. Unfortunately, I made a mistake and washed it in the washing machine at 30°C, but the leather inserts stained the fabric. I wrote to various companies to dye it black or navy, but no one wanted to take the risk. With a heavy heart I had to get rid of it. Let this be a warning.

The jacket is quite warm and functional, the delivery was fast, but I expected better quality. After two weeks of use, several buttons fell off, and a seam on the hood tore because it was poorly stitched. The material is also not very durable. Previously, products from this brand were of much better quality.

The jacket is warm and well made. The sheepskin around the neck is so high that you can easily forget about a scarf or snood. The cut is really narrow - it's worth taking that into account when choosing the size.

For eight years I used the previous version of this product and was very satisfied, so I didn't want to change to another model when purchasing a new one. The product is functional, durable, provides warmth, and matches many styles. I ordered the same model, changing only the color from green to black. Size as described, express delivery. It's a great brand, flagship model, and my favorite store. Thank you to everyone, I wear it with joy. I definitely recommend it!

I ordered this jacket and I can say that it is really comfortable. I chose size M for my height of 1.80 m and weight of 70 kg – it's well-fitted, the pockets are practical, and the hood is easy to adjust. Occasionally, the material may have small abrasions, which can be gently removed with a cigarette or lighter flame. Overall, I am satisfied with the jacket and everything about it suits me.

The jacket is very, very warm, probably best to take it off in the car. It's a pity the fur isn't real, but that's just the current policy. There's really nothing to complain about. The sleeves are a bit longer, but that's actually good. The collar is very high and snug, providing good protection for the neck. It's very comfortable and has a nice shine, giving this 'military' jacket a luxurious look. 110kg, 185cm, XL fits perfectly. You just need to burn off a few threads and you can wear it for the rest of your life.

Great jacket for cool and windy days. The VF59 model fits very well, does not constrict, and is comfortable. I am 175 cm tall and weigh 100 kg, size XL fit perfectly, only the sleeves need shortening 😂. The shipment to Finland arrived in less than a week, so I am very satisfied and plan to shop again.

Mega jacket. Great workmanship. Top quality. I have several jackets of this type but this one beats all the others. I highly recommend it, with a clear conscience. With a height of 178 cm, 85 kg weight and an athletic build, size M is okay.
-
A warm, long jacket. Perfect for winter and the coldest frosts. The quality is very good; this manufacturer always knows how to make a solid product. I'm a fan. I recommend it.

I hesitated for a long time whether to buy this jacket, the price was steep, but I finally decided to go for it. The jacket is very warm and comfortable, it lacks a few pockets, but that's just my quirk. Overall, it's very warm and comfortable. I recommend it.
-
The jacket is worth its price, very light for its size. The fur at the hood is a bit hard to detach, especially if you have big fingers. Better leave it to the kid :). Maybe this will help someone, I'm 187/96 and ordered size L because that’s what I thought after measuring myself. After trying it on, the sleeves were a bit too short, and when I put a thick sweatshirt underneath, I felt a bit "tight" when the jacket was zipped. I exchanged it for XL, and it fits perfectly.
-
I bought myself this Alpha jacket for winter—it's really cool! The quality is excellent. I'll shorten the sleeve a bit and continue wearing it. You always have good quality and reasonable prices for top items from world brands! I recommend!

For me, both the product and the delivery speed are "World Championship". I ordered in the evening and at 9 am I got an SMS that the package was in InPost. I don't know how it's possible but it's a fact.

I give five stars because this jacket beats all I've had so far. The VF 59 version is a great choice if you're slim. At 185 cm tall and 75 kg, size L fits perfectly. You can comfortably keep your hands in both the upper and lower pockets. The biggest advantage of this jacket for me is the hood, which can easily replace a hat or even a pillow. I highly recommend it, but only for minus temperatures :) Alpha, a class of its own.
