Winter coats and jackets

[El Rojo]

I'm looking for something warm and waterproof, so probably a technical make.

 

Not too bulky like a big parka, though if possible I'd like it longer so that it goes below the arse as opposed to just jacket-length.

 

Any ideas, chums?

I’ve just bought a new jacket for taking the dog for a walk from here...

They have got a big sale on and everything is cheap at the minute. They are very good quality.

I like my quilted (too short for you), my parka (banned) and my cashmere overcoat (not really rainproof). You could try a waxed jacket like this

Just noticed the price of that wax jacket. You might want to either find a cheaper version or wear it forever

I prefer Berghaus fleeces than coats, you have to pay £90+ for a decent one but they are very comfortable.

A waxed jacket won't keep you warm unless you buy one of the zip-in liners or layer up underneath. In terms of a longer length Barbour waxed jacket, I'd go for the Border, which is timeless and won't go out of fashion.

Like a lot of things, though, the price of Barbour jackets increases but the quality decreases.

 

I've no idea what size you are, but this vintage, unworn one would make for a much better investment, as it will be considerably better made.

When it comes to Barbour and Belstaff, it should be vintage or nothing.

Barbour jackets are for the cast members of Emmerdale.

Check out Arc'teryx.

Got briefly excited about the prices on this coat. And then noticed the spelling on the website. Bastard knock-off merchants

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.

 

 

 

 

Thank fuck for this baby.

Schott 740N US Navy Pea Coat. Bought online a few months ago as a little treat for meself. It wasn’t cheap but probably the warmest coat I’ve ever owned and it looks like it will last a good few years. Timeless

[Elite]

Definitely need to invest in one for next winter.

Berghaus coats any good?

[Guest]

Thank fuck for this baby.

Is it worth £115.95?

[cochyn]

Waxed jackets are shit in the cold - the wax is effectively a highly viscous liquid so it gets cold very quickly and then stays cold. A Berghaus gore-tex jacket with a fleece liner is all kinds of perfect for the UK.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Is it worth £115.95?

Most definitely. Certainly atm, warmest coat I've ever owned.

That's the exact one I own. Boss coat. Last forever and far better in rain than you expect it to be.

Proper pea coat

Sounds awesome, love proper American Schott stuff.

Get one yourself. Highly recommended. I bought mine off US Ebay. Postage was more than the price but still a bargain.

Been sauntering around feeling a bit smug in this the last couple of days. Beast from the east my sweaty hoop...

Won’t be able to wear it the other 8 months of the year unfortunately unless I get a job on a soviet submarine!

Had a pea coat from racing green years ago, loved that coat and it looked fucking ace.

Superb with a strong wind behind you and you can righteously wear it with the collar fully up.
