Lightweight dress men's jacket - 07/01/25

embroidered well

5 stars out of 5 stars

Lightweight, looks nice and trim.

Scott - 05/09/25

A very nice coat, but with a slick outer surface

5 stars out of 5 stars

I was looking for a fleece, rather than one with a slick outer shell. I liked the fit and picked a different Port Authority jacket with a similar styling, but with a fleece outer surface. This does look like it would be more rain repellent.

Tech guy - 03/18/25

nice look

5 stars out of 5 stars

I'm 5'11 175lb and the medium is a close fit, but that's how I like it.

Looks nice, washes up well.

Taylor - 01/07/25

Runs small

3 stars out of 5 stars

The jackets are exactly what we're looking for but the sizing runs small. I recommend ordering a size up.

Soft Shell Jacket

3 stars out of 5 stars

This is a decent jacket for the money, the only complaint is that they run small. If anyone orders anything from Port Authority get a size larger than you normally wear.

Drew - 01/02/25

No complaints

5 stars out of 5 stars

The items arrived earlier than I thought they would and were exactly the quality product I expected them to be. The jacket is true to size and meets the qualifications of a business that knows what they're doing. I have no complaints.

Kurt - 12/30/24

Nice jacket

5 stars out of 5 stars

Nice fabric and cut. The fabric outer shell blocks the wind and there's a little fleece nap on the inside that keeps you warm. This is a really nice jacket.

I purchased a jacket and vest and had them embroidered with a logo. They run true to size, and they are just what we were looking for. With the logo, they look amazing. Super happy with this purchase!

Bob - 10/07/23

Not the material I was looking for

2 stars out of 5 stars

The jacket was a stiffer, windbreaker-like material than the sporty stretchy material that I was looking for.

Perfect jacket, perfect bright royal blue color, deep pockets, what's not to like. Also, I usually wear a large. 6' tall 170lbs and this large fits perfectly.

Great jacket for fall and spring use plus layers nicely under coats for winter wear. Stylish and comfortable. And no dog hair sticks to it!

Quality and service

5 stars out of 5 stars

This item was purchased for our Company employees as a thank you gift for the end of the year. The quality of the Jackets is great, however, they run a little bit smaller in size if you wear a large get an XL but due to the cotton lining which is so warm and, worth going up a size, the material is durable and overall a great product. We were very happy.

Great purchase

5 stars out of 5 stars

I am a 5’3 woman weighing about 125lbs. I bought a medium because I wanted to be able to wear a hoodie under it. I think a small would have worked fine but I don’t feel like returning it and waiting for a new one. I sent it off to the embroidery shop, it came back looking amazing! Will definitely be purchasing for our office staff.

Replacement of an old workhorse

5 stars out of 5 stars

I had the previous style given to me through work complete with logo. After years of use and abuse, I needed a new light jacket. This is a nice style change should be great, "no logo" btw I've retired...maybe should have had them embroider CEO on the front... the inside pockets are open no closure that would be a nice upgrade to make this jacket ideal.

Love it. Fits so good. Longer than the pricier jacket like it. Bought it for that reason. Fabric is comfortable yet repels light rain.

Great jacket for the price

5 stars out of 5 stars

My company has supplied us with the Port Authority J324 jacket with our company logo. I really like the jacket and wanted one without the logo. I found the J317 which doesn't have the exterior breast pocket which is too small for my phone anyway so I ordered it. The tailoring is great, I am 5'9" 173lbs and the medium fits perfectly.

I love this jacket. I ordered one a few months ago with a company logo. I love the jacket so much I just ordered another one with no logo just to have. It has a slimmer fit and it's comfortable without being too warm.

Very nice jacket

The jacket is of very nice quality and can be worn for multiple occasions. Other reviews were right, in that it is sized smaller than other jackets - so I would order a size up.

Great Jacket that looks expensive

5 stars out of 5 stars

The exterior shell of this jacket has a soft brushed finish that feels very expensive when you handle the jacket. So many jackets offered for bulk sale have shown up leaving me disappointed, but this one looks great and the matte brushed finish made our heat press chest imprint really look amazing. The client was floored.
