The Sapper is the one that’s loosely based on a M65 field jacket, isn’t it?

 

Aye mate. Though the pockets are within the outer shell (rather than sown on) to keep it looking smart. Works with a suit or jeans.

This is making its debut today and tomorrow in that London. 

It’s fucking warm and reasonably heavy. Ended up carrying it round most of the day, even though it was pissing down.

Seems I am not getting a Barbour, I'd be to paranoid to wear it.

I tell you what, I walked out of work at 6pm tonight and I have never felt the air temperature so cold. Not even in the Austrian Alps. The second I set foot outside it felt like my nose was gonna burst open with a colossal nosebleed.

 

I honestly think my Snugpak Sasquatch saved my life tonight.

 

Warmest jacket I've ever owned.

Is that your nickname for your hairy-bear boyfriend?

Bought this he other week, lightweight and warm and the hood fits great.

Nah I love parkas. Sometimes they can be comedy big though.

 

I tried one of these on in Cheshire Oaks and it was boss. Comfy but not too chunky. Waterproof, breathable and padded. The navy blue one looked the best. Tog24 is a great brand too, I've got a couple, a padded one and a waterproof.

I've got quite a bit of Tog24 stuff, decent quality and doesn't cost a fortune.

 

I've got a Tog24 flat cap and I'm gonna wear it tomorrow to keep my big baldy head warm.

Not into Barbours but really like this one in emmerdale. Can't tell if it's leather or wax.

First time I’ve ever spent big on a winter coat. Got a nice Rab number….the warmest coat I’ve ever owned by some distance!

I didn’t pay that price by the way.

 

This has been put through its paces over the last week and it is unbelievably warm! The last few times I’ve been out in it I have had to pull the zip down slightly to let some cool air in. 
 

Well happy.

Very nice that mate.

Never thought I'd say this but considering getting a Barbour. Tried this Navy Ashby on in John Lewis recently and was really impressed. Are they still widely worn by dickheads or have they moved on to something else now?

I've had a padded one for years and I'll probably wear it a bit when walking the dog this winter so yes.

You should be ok unless you spend lots of time in semi-rural towns and villages.
 

I prefer the Sapper jacket.

Yeah it's more my style that, I like the corbridge too but I've got something similar.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

As long as you're not pairing one with Hunter wellies and a Springer Spaniel you should be alright.

 

Might have to swerve some flat caps too.

[Karl_b]

I've been eyeing up a Patagonia coat for a couple of years and then saw it in the sale for half price around Easter. I can't wait for it to get cold enough to wear it.

 

It beautifully complements my @Babb'sBurstNad recommended Bart's Rayner hat too.

I've got two Barbour jackets. The first I bought was a Steve McQueen harrington jacket and if it's okay for him, it's fine for me. The second was a light waterproof harrington style one for summer, also good.

 

It is a brand for toffs and dickheads, but they make good quality stuff.

I was looking at that harrington actually it looks boss, I need something longer though to hide my saggy middle aged arse.

 

I struggle to spend big on clothes as my weight goes up and down and they end up in the loft for 18 month stretches. For that very reason I bought a "wax" jacket from peacocks last year and it tore after about three weeks.

love 1 of those canada goose coats but not sure I could justify paying over a grand on a coat,especially when half of liverpool is swanning round in blag ones.

I’ve never seen a Canada Goose coat that I’ve thought looked nice.

There's a fine line with winter coats in the UK as you're rarely outdoors for more  than an hour at a time unless you're a fan of carboot sales, and once you go into a shop or something you'll be sweating your tits off in one of these

there are some decent ones but but the price is ridiculous.
