tldr; Layering piece that holds up for 8+ years. Lifetime warranty adds value. Some find it insufficient alone in cold.

Best praise vs top criticism for Patagonia Down Sweater
“I think they're not cropped but fitted as they're supposed to, they also make your legs look longer and proportion better, if you look at bomber, harrington, down jacket etc from 50s to 80s (I'm generalizing here), they're all shorter than the same jackets style made in the 21st century. IMO Only long jacket styles like peacoats, chore/barn jacket etc, should have a longer fit, if it's supposed to be a short jacket style then it should be cropped, otherwise it's a weird in between. It probably didn't work for you bc it didn't accommodate your longer torso. I believe it would look great if it's cropped to your actual waist. If you want longer fit, go to millennial brands like taylor stitch, marine layer, alex mill, todd snyder, any brands that have a target age group above 30 will have longer jackets and tighter shoulders. Sorry for the blab I also love jackets https://preview.redd.it/wreiziqrgq5g1.png?width=786&format=png&auto=webp&s=56c627957b0c625871eb61449ebdc2baa8d7bc7d”
“I think what you want to do is go try on some jackets. Don't buy an 1800 dollar jacket as your first. It sounds like we dress similarly. I live in the pnw, so I don't regularly deal with the same type of weather. But I would suggest a down jacket/parka or a long wool coat if you like that style. If you're going to be active out side in the cold you'll also want some good silk weight base layers to help stay dry and warm. Merino wool works best, but it can be expensive and delicate, sometimes itchy.”
