I quite like the look of this Musto:

Musto seems to me to be a brand that isn't making a statement and the products I've seen tend to be well made. Tell me I am wrong someone.
Yep, Musto is great gear (I sail and shoot, not at the same time). Best place to buy is marinesuperstore.com. Best of all, it’s not (yet) worn by chavs like HH etc.

Bought one these last week.

Nearly £500 off.

Absolutely fantastic coat. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Also comes in grey if you prefer that.
Looks excellent value. I do wonder whether it;s a bit heavy for my requirement.
You can take the inner coat out of it completly so it's then basically a luxury unlined parka. You can also wear the inner coat by itself if you wish. It's very versatile.

The quality is off the scale. So many pockets. You can detach the goggles etc. Comes with a torch!







I've been a fan of MA.STRUM for a while. They do some cracking stuff but hand on heart this the best coat I've ever owned. Knocks the st out of Stone Island or CP Company.
If I start working in mountain rescue I'll take another look.
My colleagues would be really impressed if I turned up at work in an "£800" coat, with a special torch in the sleeve wink

Very plain. Quite the opposite to Gamefaces jacket that you'd see in a Guy Ritchie film biggrin
Yeah mine's awesome. That Musto is something my grandfather might wear.
I seem to recall my GREAT grandfather wore something like yours.

And we both look great.

Enjoy your Musto if you purchase it.

I saw an advert for a jacket from Cotton Traders today in the paper, which tempted me into buying it smile

The perfect jacket for a bracing walk around Hungerford or Cumbria!

I’m thinking about one of these but the price is putting me off:

I practically live in one of these once summer is over:

incredibly well made and versatile. Not my usual thing, but once tried it became a firm fixture.

I like that! You can tell it's quality immediately.
