Winter coats and jackets

Proper pea coat

They are just donkey jackets under an assumed name.

Better with the Corpy logo on though.

Went hipster before Xmas and got myself a vintage, wool, swiss army coat from a military surplus shop. Got it lined by a tailor. All in cost me £70.

 

Warmest coat I've ever owned, I'd take the Pepsi challenge on a Canada goose or berghaus.

 

Bonus points for making me look like a gestapo and being knee length so it keeps my bellend warm

Posh donkey jacket. Much smarter and far higher quality wool. Warmer and much better in the rain, even without the plazzy shoulder strip. Nowt wrong with a donkey jacket mind.

I like the lines of pea coats and reefer jackets, but double breasted (*titter*) doesn't suit me.

 

I've just picked up a nice lighter weight wool mix overcoat, largely because of its tweedy look. I now need to investigate whether a seamstress can put proper pockets in it as it's one of those ones where the tight bastards just put the flaps on for show.

Even though I like wool coats I don't find them practical for winter as they get soaked. I'm a pragmatic motherfucker as I get older now, it's all about being warm and dry for me.

It's snowing again and I'm sticking my warm, dry and toasty Snugpak Sasquatch on to go round the shop for some milk, cheese and crisps.

 

Fuck you snow.

Overcoats over pea coats for me. Generally not a fan of the buttons and I like the sleeker look.

Yep.  I got myself a nice Boss wool and cashmere overcoat which looks the bollocks.  And it will go over a suit, should I ever find myself having to attend court.

How do you fold out the nail file?

[Tony Moanero]

I'd rather wear a wool coat and use a brolly than wear a waterproof coat with a hood. Even good quality breathable Gore-Tex ones are too sweaty.

What crisps did you get?

Snowman flavour.

I have a big, warm as fuck, red coat from House of Fraser. I went looking for a 'proper' outdoor coat a few years back but found the staff in the outdoor shops at Meadowhall (eurgh) deplorably unhelpful.

 

This is the 4th winter I've had it (I think) and it held up well to a week in the Arctic too. Hoping it lasts a couple more years before I need to replace it.

 

I love the outdoor gear from the Canadian store MEC, they have some slightly more 'fashionable' and tailored clothing but properly made for winter weather. I need to see if they're available in the UK or get Neko or the Sex to be a Canadian 'Aye'SOS.

I just got one of these delivered today & I love it, I fucking love a coat...

I'm still wearing this parka I got in 2014, the freezing wind has got fuck all chance against this thing.

 

Best coat ever.

[Rico1304]

I've got one of these, I call it the Belgravia Bin Man look

Although the photo has gone the coat is still going strong. Still looks great.

Alpha Industries. Proper gear. Mine is literally decades old and it only gets better with age.

 

Paddy Considine would defo approve.

Their current M65 looks a bit 'shiney'...

No, just a jacket.

A full metal jacket?

[Carvalho Diablo]

Just been on a mini spending spree and bought myself a Snugpak Sleeka Elite.

Lightweight, waterproof and toasty as. I've had a Snugpak Sasquatch jacket for 5 years and it's brilliant but only really gets used when it's really cold / snowing.

 

Also bought some cheap hiviz waterproof kecks and jacket, sick of this shit weather.
