Thought I'd get SuFu's take on the Fjallraven Greenland jacket before I buy. I live in SF, so I don't need crazy warm. I want something solid for every day wear, rain-functional and comfortable for biking.

Anyone have experience with this jacket? Wondering how it fares in the weather...I know Fjallraven's all about the wax on the G-1000 fabric, it would be cool to hear from someone with first hand experience.

I don't have the greenland but I do have the Oban jacket in Tan. Well made jacket, durable and they fit well. The come very lightly waxed but not enough for real rain. If you want it to be waterproof get a few bars of the wax and go at it. It takes a while after waxing for it to soften up again. It gets really super krinkly but I love mine now... oh and invest in a heat gun. soooo much faster than using a hair dryer.

I was going to invest in a TNF Venture but after seeing reviews that it is not waterproof, I'll probably stay away. Does anyone have any recommendations on a decently priced, waterproof jacket?

A bit of a long shot, but can anyone (especially in Korea) confirm if the Muji Wall Clock watches are currently stocked in-store or are a commonly stocked item? I have a friend over in Korea until March but don't wanna make her drag herself to a Muji if it's not there.

Alternatively, pls recommend me a cheap watch similar to the Uniform Wares 200 series one (metal circle casing, leather wristband, plain etc.)

I recently got a leather jacket whose fit is perfect, but it has a shiny, sheeny sort of texture to it.

Are there any products out there that will dull or mattify the leather? I'm going for a worn, weathered sort of look...
