yeah in OD, sometime this week he posted it in WAYWT

[karl winslow]

it says its SS10 though? I meant this particular beeswax cotton one, as I am aware of the past Cameraman jackets, I just think this one stands out a bit more.

[Dead_Wizard]

I thought the cameraman they were doing for SS10 was a really lightweight cream on grey, but they may have different colors. I know FW10's color palette is heavy on grey/blue/black though.

Nice Jacket with a horrible price tag

£700 at bureau belfast

[karl winslow]

I figured it was around that much, that was retail on the last one. Actually though it'd be more with the beeswax cotton.

Dead_Wizard, I think you are right. Maybe 2 or 3 other cw's. I bet the cream one is nice.

fuck a leather bottom...

A good new years resolution.

been looking at dis outlier jawn

seems to be similar or better than goretex, but i haven't any experience with their tech materials, anyone?

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

Interested to see Nigels Cabourn's rubberized parka. If anyone remembers that 5.00 dollar cotton twill/Salmon Rubber joint I posted about a while back..that got me wondering about some more modern/designy uses for that.

Good Stuff.

In other news...

Been paying a lot of attention to contemporary small label american and European gear makers as of late. Though as per usual, the best designs and color ways are produced for the Japanese market, I am happy to be able to discover some modern stuff that is well made and interesting. Yeah, I'm a sucker for all that old "leather bottom-60/40-cotton duck" good shit, but it's been surprisingly rewarding to reaccquaint myself with some new stuff worth its salt.

One more thing...

For those looking into the Altadena packs, they are NICE...BUT there is a flaw in the design (at least on the traditional rucksack model). The way the straps are affixed to the rest of the bag at the top triangle is not exactly "shoddy", but FAR from bomb proof, and I would not advise anyone to take it beyond the city or some light weight day hikes.

If it does infact break, I plan on writing them with some constructive criticism, becasue other than that, the pack is well designed, and made from excellent leather and cordura.

That's all from over here.

Go outside,

Just picked up a nice 3 in 1 from Columbia for pretty cheep. I think it's from last season, but it's still great. Pictures soon.

For what I know they are two totally different techniques where gore-tex is a separate layer in the garment and this other is a treatment of some kind (that will eventually wear off with washing).

I have a pair of Outlier pants and they're pretty solid. The stretch is a necessity given the slimness of the pants and it doesn't hamper everyday movements.

3XDRY will fade as moykky mentioned and I don't think that it can be restored via the GORE-TEX method of throwing your piece in the dryer. But then again, I think most people on this board are accustomed to not really washing their pants that often.

Man I need straight up gore-tex pants that won't saturate. the search continues

[dubcbadass]

Some good options might be the current year's GoLite Badlands Trinity pants and last year's Reed Pants if you can find them (good thing about these is they are packable -- I've seen these myself and can attest to their waterproofness, even after several washes, with no retreatment). Patagonia Rain Shadow is the same kidna deal, but more substantial than the Reed, less so than the Trinity. None are Gore brand fabric, but all are suitable copies, I believe. Lemme know if any of these work for you. Oh yeah, all of them are breathable, too.

Have you looked into the Veilance (Arcteryx) line of pants? As long as you keep up that Nanosphere coating, and aren't crabbing in the Pacific, these would be some pretty smart daily pants.

ALL Gore-Tex hardshells (as far as I know) are coated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellant) finish that is the first line of water protection and is what causes the water to bead and roll off the material. Eventually the DWR wears off, but can be reapplied with any number of products. Some are sprayed on, others can be washed in.

anyone have this book?

MEC Makes some, 3 layer gore, no insulation, wouldn't say slim, but not really baggy either.

You probably want to search for alpine/rock climbing pants, as they have available the type of pant you're looking for.

[Dead_Wizard]

That Cabourn parka is up at

http://www.endclothing.co.uk/brands/nigel-cabourn

Looks like Inventory stockroom will have it too, good option for US folks

[hollowsleather]

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a decent USA-Made raincoat. I have a Filson Tin Jacket, but I'm hoping to snag something that packs a little bit smaller for an upcoming trip.

Any ideas?

[ericdw]
