Well Ladies and Gents, lets get right down to brass tacks, shall we? I'm looking for something rather odd and felt that perhaps you would be the best people to bring my question to. The subject at hand is my quest for a jacket.
But not any jack, no, that would be t0o easy. For you see, dear reader, I am what you would call built like a tank. Standing Six foot Three inches, with a Nineteen inch next a shoulder spread the likes of a titan I'm not exactly the average joe. Nor is this to say that I'm some slovenly blob. When I can I spend copious amounts of time in the gym, lifting weights and the like.(Ask me my favorite lift and I'll say ALL except skullcruchers) Suffice to say that I am not built for many modes of modern jacketry.
Rather I fit best in the jacket styles of yore. Three quarter and full length, greatcoats and dusters, these are what look good on me. Sadly, they are hardly considered stylish and are thusly hard to find in any condition that would suit hard use in a long New England winter.
Thus do I put this question forth to you: I seek a new winter jacket, something knee length, preferably water proof, and insulated. I had looked at the LLBean Nor'easter Commuter, but they sadly discontinued it. I've also looked into picking up a surplus greatcoat, but they're hard to find. What I seek are options and opinions. Stories of great jackets.
In return I'll post some pictures of a Soviet watch I wear daily.
