Fjallraven - any good?
Discussion
OK it's not a teaspoon but I'm after a winter jacket for the colder days when a Barbour dog walking jacket won't cut it.
Fjallraven have been mentioned here but do they last well? I'm looking at the Greenland No1 Down jacket in particular as I don't want to look like a mountain climber/skier but don't want to freeze to death in midwinter Hungary.
Any other suggestions?

I have the Greenland Winter. It's amazing. The down version would be too warm for me, but I live in London. If you can try one on before buying then do, I am two sizes smaller in Fjallraven than in other brands.
I've not had it long but it looks very hard wearing and, I think, has a lifetime guarantee. The shop I bought it from will also rewax it for me at no cost if I want.

They look like something an unemployed fisherman would wear after finding in a charity bin.
A friend bought one recently and obviously I mock him about it relentlessly and refer to it as his tramps coat.
And then, to my eternal delight, we saw an actual tramp wearing one. It was like a dream come true.

Was the jacket too warm for him and did you find him strangely attractive? You never know when you'll get the opportunity to say the immortal words...A friend bought one recently and obviously I mock him about it relentlessly and refer to it as his tramps coat.

Hot tramp, I love you so.
Anyhow, thanks for the feedback, tramp/unemployed fisherman chic is really in these days.

Is that some kind of clever viral marketing? What are they selling..?
THat coat shes wearing. A Fjlaraven Greenland jacket.THe viral selling hadn't even occurred to me and its a brilliant idea if it is. I tend to doubt it though, as you wouldn't use someone so uncool and unattractive as a model for your clothes, I don't think

Little known fact: Fjallraven is Swedish for 'parrot'.
Little known because it is incorrect?Fjallraven is Swedish for Arctic Fox I believe, hence their logo surely?
I feel uncomfortable that you might be Swedish and correct, even though you're wrong
