Excellent
The shipping was fast, no delays whatsoever. Jacket fits good, in 5'5 154 lbs for reference. Wish it was a bit more tapered going down the waist, other than that I have no complaints.

The jacket was delivered promptly
The jacket was delivered promptly. It was very well constructed. It was a little tight do I had to exchange it for the next larger size. I am very happy with my purchase.

For years I've lived in a padded parka that made me look like a sleeping bag with legs. Wanted something smarter for autumn that wasn't heavy, and I'd never owned anything in a suede-look fabric before, so this was a punt. Ordered on a Sunday night, arrived midweek in a neat package. Details won me over straight away: the shoulder epaulettes, a chunky YKK zipper that doesn't catch, and a hood you can detach when you don't fancy it. The olive shade is muted, very wearable with navy and grey. Proper upgrade from the sleeping bag.
Tip for anyone weighing up olive versus a safer neutral: go olive. Pairs with dark denim, grey chinos, even black joggers, and in afternoon sun it shifts warmer toward a khaki-brown. This was my first jacket like this and I was nervous about caring for the nap, but a soft clothes brush handles it; just stroke one direction, because going against the grain leaves faint marks until you smooth it back. That quirk is the only reason I'm at four. Epaulettes and the trio of chest pockets keep it from looking plain.
Compared with the waxed cotton thing I wore for about a decade, this feels like stepping into the present day. That old coat was heavy, smelled faintly of the shed, and needed rewaxing every year. This one is light, animal-free, and wants nothing more than an occasional once-over with a cloth. Same outdoorsy spirit, yet cleaner lines. Being able to detach the hood is new for me too. Only reservation: a faint new-garment smell hung about for three or four days before airing out. Four from me, and the waxed relic has gone to the charity shop.
Daily carry setup, for anyone curious: wallet in the left chest pocket, phone in the right, transit card in the small middle one so I can tap without unzipping. Commute is a twenty-minute walk plus the subway, and the YKK zipper runs smooth one-handed while holding coffee. On rainy mornings I keep the hood attached; on dry ones it comes off in seconds and goes in my desk drawer. Layering works with a thin sweatshirt underneath or just a tee in early fall. Weight is low enough that I don't overheat on a packed train. Brushing off lint takes thirty seconds at the end of the week. Simple, useful piece.
six weeks since i gave this to my dad for his birthday and hes barely taken it off, wears it to the allotment, the garden centre, church on sunday. still looks new which im amazed at given where he takes it. the olive suits him far better than the beige things he normally picks. one niggle, the new smell hung around for about a week, mum made him air it on the line lol. if i could change anything id add an inside pocket for his glasses, but the 3 on the chest do the job. thrilled with it
Solid buy, no regrets. Three reasons: construction feels tight, with even stitching and a YKK zipper that hasn't snagged once; the faux suede is easy to look after, a quick brush and done; and the military styling, epaulettes and stacked chest pockets, gives it more character than a basic bomber. Where I wear it: weekend brunches, airport days, client lunches when the dress code is relaxed. Also great with a gray crewneck and dark jeans. Detachable hood is a bonus I didn't think I'd use but do.
Where on earth did you find this?' was the first thing my brother's girlfriend asked when he turned up to Sunday lunch wearing it. I'd given it to him for his thirtieth, half worried he'd think olive was too bold. Turns out he's been wearing it non-stop. He told me the hood comes off easily, which suits him because he hates hoods flapping about when he cycles to work, and the chest pockets hold his bike lights and keys. Seeing it in person over lunch, the colour is lovely, a soft moss green that looked richer by the window and more muted indoors. The epaulettes give it a tidy, uniform-inspired look without being costume-like. He even let me feel the sleeve, and the microsuede is soft and light, nothing like the stiff canvas coats he usually buys. Easily the most successful present I've ever bought him.
If you already own a dark Decrum piece and want something casual alongside it, grab this olive bomber. Completely different mood, earthy and relaxed versus sleek. Pair it with white sneakers and cream chinos. I'd give five but knocked one off because the zipper was stiff for the first few days. Loosened now. Lovely piece.
was a bit unsure whether a microsuede piece would sit right next to my other Decrum, a smooth black biker style. would this feel like a step down? nope. totally different animal, laid back and outdoorsy, so i grab them for different plans. colour goes almost moss in shade and nearly tan under streetlights, the shoulder tabs sharpen my frame up, and i use those chest pouches constantly for cards and a lighter. hood detaches, mostly i leave it off in town and pop it back for dog walks along the canal. worth knowing it LOVES lint, keep a brush by the door and youre sorted. both now hang side by side and honestly cant pick a favourite, my girlfriend reckons the green one wins tho, she nicks it for the corner shop when its drizzly
Starting at the top, the hood is a decent depth and comes away cleanly when I'd rather go without, which is most days in town. Below that, epaulettes sit flat on the shoulders and give the whole thing a structured, military outline that looks deliberate under a scarf. Front is a YKK zip, slightly stiff the first week, now loosened up and running cleanly. Then the chest: three pockets, which sounds excessive until you use them; I keep my card holder in one, earphones in another, and the third has become the home for receipts I never look at again. Fabric throughout is a muted olive faux suede, soft without being fluffy, and it shrugs off light drizzle if you brush it after. Overall a smart, practical buy that I reach for over everything else in the hallway.
right so i dont normally write these but this one deserves it, been wearing it to the site office every day for a fortnight and its held up brilliantly, the olive colour doesnt show the dust like my black stuff does, hood comes off when the vans warm and goes back on when its chucking it down, three pockets on the chest mean my pen notebook and phone are all within reach without hunting, and the zip is a proper YKK which is the first thing i check on anything now after a cheap one burst on me last year, lads at the depot reckon it looks LOADS better than the hi vis id usually have on top
Best casual jacket I've bought in years, full stop. Reasons: the olive goes with literally everything in my closet, it weighs next to nothing, and the hood detaches so it works on clear days too. Small gripe, delivery took about nine days, longer than I'd hoped, and I checked tracking like a kid waiting on Christmas. Our mail carrier is new and kept leaving packages at the neighbor's, which didn't help. Anyway. I throw it on for hardware store runs, coaching my daughter's soccer on Saturdays, and backyard fires once it cools off.
Would faux suede look cheap? That was my main question before ordering. Short answer: no. The nap has a fine, even texture with a slight sheen when it catches the light, and the stitching around the epaulettes is tidy. Second worry was durability, since I'm hard on clothes: in and out of the car, client sites, airport security. Three weeks in, no pilling, and the YKK hardware feels like it'll outlast me. The olive tone reads intentional rather than army surplus. Answered both doubts, honestly.
Previously I had a cotton field jacket I wore to bits over six winters. Faded, saggy, pockets torn. This replacement keeps the military DNA, epaulettes and chest pockets included, but the microsuede feels softer and looks a lot sharper. Plus the hood actually comes off, which the old one never did. Lighter too. Already wondering why I held onto that tatty thing so long.
Five weeks of near-daily use now, so here's the honest update. Zip still glides, no fraying at the shoulder tabs, and the colour hasn't faded despite a couple of sunny lunchtimes on the bench outside the office. The nap has softened slightly, which I prefer. What I'd tweak: the hood drawstrings are a touch short, so cinching it in proper wind is fiddly. Hardly a dealbreaker, hence four rather than five. It's become my default for the drive in and the Friday pint afterwards.
Bought for my son. Twenty-two, hard to shop for. Opened it, said nothing, put it on. Good sign. Olive green, soft microsuede, little shoulder straps like an officer's coat. Hood detaches. He's worn it to class every day since. His roommate asked where it came from. Mission accomplished, mom wins this round.
Wore this to a stag do in Edinburgh last month: two days of walking tours, pub crawls and a freezing ghost tour at midnight. Had the hood on for the evening drizzle and it kept my head dry enough. Chest pockets held train tickets, cash and a phone charger, and nothing went missing during the chaos. By Sunday, after being chucked over chairs and sat on in a taxi, the fabric looked basically untouched, just needed a quick brush. A mate who works in outdoor retail clocked the YKK pulls and nodded approvingly. Brilliant bit of kit.
Of all people, my mum said I looked smart in it, and she's been telling me to bin my old fleece for years. First jacket like this I've ever owned. The fabric is light, the colour sits somewhere between moss and khaki, and the shoulder tabs give an army surplus feel without looking like fancy dress. Walked the long way home through the park just to wear it a bit longer, though the pigeons were unimpressed.
So my husband has been eyeing military style bombers for ages and I finally caved and got him this olive one for his birthday, and he wore it out of the house about ten minutes after unwrapping, which never happens with him, he usually lets new things sit in the closet for a month, but the hood comes off so easily and he likes that he can stash his phone and earbuds up front without digging around.
Really well made for what it cost. Stitching is straight, the zip pull is metal and feels solid, and the drawstring on the hood actually stays where you set it. It layers over a hoodie without feeling tight across the back. No notes, it's a good jacket.
I buy a jacket most autumns and this is the first in a while I've worn straight out of the box without adjusting to it. No stiffness, no break in period. The stand collar sits properly with the hood off, which was my main worry. Very pleased.
Bought as a gift for my brother and he does like it. Four stars from me because the shade was slightly deeper than the website photo suggested on my monitor. He says it's very comfortable and light, and he has been wearing it to work all week.
Box showed up Tuesday and I tore into it in the driveway. This is my second order from Decrum, after a black zip-up I wear constantly, and this olive one feels completely different in hand: soft nap, light, with a proper military vibe from the epaulettes. Color is a muted army green, not the bright khaki I half expected. First outing was a ballgame Friday night; zipped halfway, comfortable through nine innings.
Olive with the epaulettes gives it a military look without going full surplus store. The hood unclips in seconds so it changes character depending on where I'm going. It's light, which surprised me given how much structure it has. Pockets are everywhere, I keep finding another one.
Cracking jacket for the price. Wore it walking the dog in a bit of drizzle and it shrugged it off fine. Ribbed hem and cuffs keep the wind out better than I expected from something this light. The colour is a proper muted olive, not a bright green.
Been after something that isn't black and isn't navy for once. This olive is spot on and goes with the grey and denim I mostly wear. Light enough to keep on in the office, warm enough for the walk from the car park. Would happily buy another colour.
Dog hair. That's my one complaint, and honestly it's the spaniel's fault more than the coat's, because she sheds like mad and the olive nap grabs every bit. Only knocked a point off for that. Otherwise I've pinched it from my partner most mornings for the school run, the hood unclips when it's dry out, and those chest pockets swallow keys, lip balm and the bin collection reminder I keep forgetting about.
