Winter coats?!

[Le kid]

Once again it's time to invest on a new winter coat. But I honestly don't know what would be the best option. Havent smelled any new trends and those Canada gooses are booring. I might pick up a long parka. I think it would do the job for couple of years. Any recommendations? Or what did you buy for this winter?

I've had some problems too.. I saw this killer John Varvatos wool jacket in a picture, but a) its not available anywhere its roughly $1200. I've been looking for a similar one ever since but haven't been able to find one.

[Felix]

i'm in love with these too...

1) iDiom 2) One True Saxon

[mike lowrey]

I've been looking at those both too, but not sure if they're that thick/warm? they look awesome though.

[Felix]

i think the iDiom is warm for sure...snowboard jackets, in my experience, are thin but warm!

i think the other one is warm too but because of cotton fabric not good when it's raining...i guess it rains/snows a lot in finland

i just e-mailed them about the fit for the OTS cause it look massive and i'm not sure if an L would be good for me...i let you know when they get back to me!

[xcoldricex]

acronym! the shit i'm selling!

yeah i considered your jacket too...but i don't like the colour:p

[CactusArmy]

Might like to check out Cloak's peacoat, if you're into that kinda thing.

[Felix]

i vote for leather...

yea I was wondering about that too, they have measurements on the site which said that pit-to-pit for the M is 63cm, sounds pretty big to me..

[genemachine]

maybe a tad bit too beastie, but i kinda like this MHI M65

comes with this fleece liner

they also have a hooded version

[wPeace]

that Leather jacket is nice rirawin. I don't think leather jacket is warm enough for winter in NYC.

[rocker4life]

the MHI with no hood is hot..like the lining on it

[Brienneoftarth]

that idiom polka dot is NOT warm at all. it is a very light waterproof shell..best for rain or spring snowboarding. i have the same jacket from the last season in bklack..not appropriate for winter wear

I've been looking into winter jackets and I can't decide whether to down the dontlooklikeananorak route or the dolooklikeananorak route...

Here's a couple I'm currently looking at:

Rirawin, I like this jacket. Any details on it? Is it by chance a Duffer?

[ang_kangkong]

I have been looking at Dunderdon and Woolrich for a winter parka. When the weather gets below 30 celsius, don't really have a choice.

Have you checked DDML's official storefront in supermarket?

[dismalfuture]

Gap surprisingly, the damage? £198 ... the quality isn't great hence me being in two minds about it.

ah, no shit? My kid sister got a part time job working at the Gap while she's at college, working in the men's dept no less... I should ask her about this.

I tired on a nice Cloak short coat yesterday. Too bad the prices have gone up some much.

[kobezzz]

i will buy woolrich artik parka:

[Michael Hunt]

is that strictly legal taking photographs of a stores clothing whilst trying it on in the changing rooms dude?

[mwrenchd]

They might not be happy about it and have the right to eject you but of course it's legal.

[poopie boy]

not exactly a coat... but i really like this cloack piece:

the only reason i haven't gotten it is because i have no idea what i could wear it with..

any suggestions?

[seenmy]

ots stuff is quite big fitting,they have really stepped up their collection again outwear is fantastic now,just no where down south in uk seems to stock it,the idiom jacket is ok i got it but when it arrived i found it to wide on me in the body so i sold it on.

i saw a amazin bernard wilhelm jacket the other day

theres also this final home jacket which im tempted by cant find a pic to hand,got a supreme goose on watch aswell for when it hopefully gets real cold.

[xcoldricex]

yeah i considered your jacket too...but i don't like the colour:p

you could dye it

[illspent]

Silas coat anyone? worn just a few times - like new. great button loops. nobody else is gonna have it (they stopped production this year). PM me if interested.

Alexander McQueen has some nice winter jackets as well...will look for some pics.

[thelion1856]

One True Saxon nylon winter jacket.

[retrored]

Don't have much chance to wear coats here in Los Angeles, especially all the nice militray inspired ones because of work, but I guess I will rely on the brown Supreme Moleskin m65 I snatched from Supreme LA last year for 2 bills.

Never got to wear it last year, so it's like a new coat.

[bish]

The Idiom jacket posted earlier is only one layer (though there's a down version too), so isn't warm, but it is totally windproof (not to mention slightly non-breathable), so layer up underneath and you're good to go. Plus it looks frickin ace.

Junya Watanabe's Moncler range is really warm, well-made and uses some interesting fabrics. The prices aren't *too* bad either, given the construction and materials. DSM in London has a good selection.

How the hell is that Gap jacket so slim fitting? Or is it just the picture?

[Thorns]

Gap is going slim this year. I just bought a pair of their new special line jeans and they're really skinny and tapered. Crazy huh?
