Winter coats and jackets

[Mook]

I have a beautiful grey leather jacket by Villain, and have more knickers thrown at me than jacket-potato face Jones.

Grey leather is well dodgy.

 

Takes a pair of balls to pull that off.

And/or style blindness.

I always think when I'm buying a leather jacket, 'would Bodie from The Professionals have worn this'. Saying it out loud to the shop assistant can get some odd reactions as well.

This is Mook's corner.  He ain't runnin' nowhere.

You have probably just got used to it.

 

Maybe, but to this day the coldest I have ever felt in my life was after a game of football just south of Cleethorpes in January.  It was -3 and somehow still raining instead of snowing or sleeting, the wind was coming off the North Sea something awful and I was absolutely miserable.

 

The thing about cold is that so much of it depends on humidity.  Here it will be -40 but that's much too cold to have any humidity in the air, so it feels OK.  Well, as long as you're well-dressed for it, it does.  Any exposed flesh (anything at all, including tips of noses or cheekbones or whatever) is absolutely frigid, but the part of you that's all wrapped up in a down coat and polypropylene long underwear is fine.  Meanwhile, it doesn't matter how warmly you're dressed in a rainstorm at -3; you're cold on the inside, not the exposed skin, which feels 100x worse.

Where do you live, not your name?

[Ne Moe Imya]

Southern part of Siberia, just northwest of Mongolia.  Moved here to work with an international aid organisation that specialises in helping minority groups that are economically depressed.  In addition to other humanitarian and development work, my main project is currently a pine nut facility that helps local people benefit from renewable natural resources and gives a reason to protect the pristine forest environment.

Count yourself lucky they didn't post you to Middlesbrough.

The Fonz called, he wants his jacket back.

[Sugar Ape]

Section bait.

it's a mashup between the Fonz's jacket and Turdsy's kecks.

Jaeger have got a really good sale of winter coats on at the mo.  You don't need to look like you're dressed for the North Pole.  

[cloggypop]

That's not a Fonzie jacket. It's pretty much a classic A2 flight jacket. If Steve McQueen would wear one it's probably alright.

Seeing as we're in the middle of another Great British summer, I decided to buy myself another winter coat, this time a Snugpak Sasquatch. Light as a feather, warm as fuck.

 

 

 

Also got one of these Snowdonia lightweight things off ebay dead cheap. Lightweight, waterproof, and handy for summer showers.

Very gomorrah. Get yourself a moped and a bad haircut.

Quality.

 

Did the second one come with a matching lunch box?

[General Dryness]

Yeah, and a notepad and 2b pencil for writing down all the trains/birds/kids you've spotted.

Try starting a thread like this on a Newcastle forum.

 

They wouldn't have a fucking clue what you were on about.

[setreal]

I bought a new jacket recently. Turns out it's a hipster jacket.

Can't wait for these bad boys to come back into "fashion" again...
