Boaby Ewing Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'm talking jackets people, not coats. I've got shit loads of coats, stylish mutha fuggers they are too. What I need is something warm, down filled and possibly windproof that doesn't look like a gimpy anorak. And that isn't, under any circumstances, by North Face*. Ordering online and not costing the earth would be a bonus as well. Stylish gentlemen of JKB, do your worst. * Northface stuff is great, but I live in New York and every upper middle-class twunt on the Upper West Side is wearing it whilst pushing their brats around in Bugaboos or whatever they're called, and I want no part of that scene.

Boaby Ewing Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Filo jacket from this mob http://www.alpkit.com/ That would be a mibbee, but unfortunately unless you're 300lbs the only colour they have is 'carat'... which is canary yellow.

Tazio Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Since you're in New York there's a great sports shop called Paragon Sports down about Broadway at 18th (I think) that sells Marmot kit at reasonable prices. You won't get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaby Ewing Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Cheers for all the suggestions guys. Keep 'em coming. I've narrowed it down, but thinking something with a 'harder' outer than a few of the shell ones would be good. Liking the look of some of the Canada Goose stuff but it's crazy expensive... any alternatives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No probs nana but I think you'll find cashmere softer and finer. The finer yarn could possibly give the better thermal properties as it traps more air but heyho I'm not the one whos asking for advice here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the Fjallravens are waterproof, they're just wind resistant.
