A.P.C.
Cult Parisian brand A.P.C. (Atelier de Production et de Création) launched in 1987. Since then, founder Jean Touitou has kept up his mission to create simple, well-cut clothes in top-notch materials. Selvedge connoisseurs swear by A.P.C. jeans—especially the New Standard, a mid-rise essential—but Japanese raw denim is just one thing the label gets right. Other areas of expertise include backpacks, desert boots, and low-key luxurious sweaters.

Also, like others have said, these things come in bigger than you might expect. I'm between a medium and large, and this product's medium is very big. Still, I have long arms, so I probably couldn't get a size lower.
The only issue I had was that the patch (which has the whitetail logo on it) is just ugly; which I guess means I just don't want pictures of animals on my clothes. It's hard to see in the product image, and other review photographs of the jacket, but the patch image is of the head and antlers of a buck. But, it's just a patch; with some careful and precise snips, I was easily able to take it off, and now it's perfect! Removing it left an outline of where the patch was, and obviously very small holes, but it's not super noticeable; I'll see how it looks after a wash and try to update my review with an image later.
I feel like I should mention that it's not the warmest jacket ever. It's thin, and doesn't even seem to warm me as much as a light hoody does, but it may retain warmth better than a cotton hoody would in the wind. It is very comfortable though, so it's a nice jacket to keep on indoors.
Overall, I really do like this jacket, I would have liked it more if I didn't have to modify it myself after the fact.
Has a slap band for easy attachment to wrist, nephew loves he can put it on himself (he's 5yrs).
Clock has a white background for easy viewing and a sweeping hand (for seconds) and in very small red print two digits there are minute labels next to the 1-12 digits identifying
(05 next to the 1, 10 next to the 2,
15 next to the 3...) so that as he's learning how to read a watch it helps him keep track of the minutes. Clock seems pretty secure, it doesn't shake out. If you need to set the time you just pop it out of the rubbery plastic case and pop it back in. It also has a tappered area where the clock casing sits on the slap band keeping it from sliding up and down the slap band.
