Sartorial Advice (Need New Winter / Rain Jacket)

[Clydeside_Sheep]

My ageing North Face jacket finally gave up the ghost, when the zip came off it. It was looking pretty tatty anyway and generally worn out (think I had it close to 10 yrs!). it didn't even keep out the rain very well anymore.

 

What are you recommendations for a new jacket for this winter (and the very many days when its pissing of rain in Scotland)???

 

Aberdeen must be one of the few cities which has worse weather than Glasgow, hence my asking

 

I had been looking at some Superdry jackets - any comments? Prob a more expensive brand, as thats kinda "fashion", eh, as opposed to just functionality?

 

Or is it best just to visit Tiso (outdoor store) and see what they have? Thats what I did last time, when I ended up with the North Face jacket.

 

Whatever I buy must be available in masculine colours (i.e. black, navy, DPM-camoflage).

The Fjallraven classic looks like a good stroll just south of the Arctic tundra. I'd consider it if I was into that sort of thing.

[Stoney]

Asos got a good sale on them just now.

 

Get on it,

 

I recommend the greenland.

[daytripping]

Aberdeen has way less rainfall than Glasgow, our weather isn't so bad.

 

Barbour if you intend attending the Dingwall meet.

[boboisared]

FjallRaven.

Had never heard of this brand until you mentioned it there. Looked it up and they've got some nice jackets there

 

Might need you to email through some links to clothes now...

My new North Face one served me well today.

 

You can get one too for about $90 (Good value), from a shop by the side of the road somewhere between Austin and San Antonio.

 

There's a cool Cowboy Shop in the same place too, I got myself some (average) boots there.

 

If you do head there can you pick me up a pair of Oakleys- I regret not buying them now but I'd already spent too much when I was there

 

Cheers.

 

Edit: I agree with Bobo above - some quality stuff. Not gonna buy any of it like, but nice none the less.

Dave's been to TEXAS!

A shop by the side of the road, you sure it's legit?

 

[dave_min]

The label certainly says North Face and I didn't get wet, so I think so?

 

I've also been to Maryland.

[newcastlered]

endclothing has some very decent jackets at the minute

[spamspamspam]

one thing you can guarantee from a superdry jacket is you wont be superdry when it rains.

[Bluto10]

Are you a hillwalker CS min?

 

If not then ignore all the advice above.

And head towards Paul Smith or Armani.

 

Failing that if you really need some waterproof then there's the classic lines of a Barbour.

[Poodler]

I swear by my RAB stuff. Expensive but does the business in a cairngorm winter so it can easy handle city life. A down filled one is cosy as fuck

Also, you'll look like a total bell end wearing it.

[minijc]

I'll back up the shout for FjallRaven, the winter nordi I have is my favourite jacket, think I got it for £30 or £40 from Hanon, superb jacket.

 

I really like this but it's way out of my price range http://www.endclothing.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/226980/s/nigel-cabourn-everest-parka/

[Bluto10]

Mini that jacket looks like something out of Scotts trip to the antarctic.

 

You'd look a right bellend wearing that in temperate northern europe

Christ min, mini, that jaiket would make you look like an Eskimo on Death Row.

Barbour full stop. Anything else is imitation.

[Bluto10]

Also its not an advisable style for the... Er... Larger gentleman.

Sex appeal. Thats the most important thing.

[Bluto10]

Hey min, pipe down.

 

I'm giving my advice. And given that I strut about Europe's cafe cultr catwalk with a style you can only dream of I think I'm well placed to give my world class advice thank you very much.

[Bluto10]

And stop using that rubbish word walloper cheesepupes min.

Makes you look Luke a nob end.

[looksgoodinred]

if you liked your North Face jacket and seeing that it served you so well, why not just buy another?

 

this Barbour one is pretty nice too (the Marsdon)

for what it's worth.

[Bluto10]

At least you can wear a Barbour, SOME Barbour's, to a Michelin starred resteraunt.

 

Turn up in sports casual NF or FR and look like a Berk.

not everyone enjoys hanging out at Michelin-starred restaurants, Bluto.

and a person could own more than one jacket.

[Bluto10]

Aye ok.

Jeez min, chill out lgir.

 

I'm just expressing that berghauses north faces and the like are not cool.

 

Sure liam Gallagher and myself in my Edinburgh years could pull off a skiing jacket in the pub but times change.

Blootery bugs, You sir are the one that wears a fucking football top with an internet moniker emblazoned on the back of it. I would assume you are not the best guy to comment on what is cool and what is not.

 

CS min, I bought a Bergens wax number in Denmark a few months back its fucking magic and keeps the wet and cold oot. needs to be waxed after purchase but its real easy to do

[Bluto10]

Like I said CBS min you need a soundtrack of cast or oasis to pull off the pub goretex jacket look.

Its all very 1990s.

[Guest]

When I see anyone in Berghaus or North Face, I think boring bastard.

 

Barbour is only good for women. My wife's is class. Men with Barbour are wankers and with the new big fuck off labels, very sad.

 

I would recommend my preferred choices but I wouldn't want to be common.

 

You get what you pay for.
