Double layer Timberland one

I loved my Parka. Dead fashionable in the early eighties. I was the coolest fucker in school. Best thing about them was in the rain, you could shelter a small house under the hood

heres a pic of the SI jacket i like

Got 1 S.I. but don't wear it much now as to obvious to old bill when your on the footy....
1 Henry Lloyd
1 John Rocha duffel coat
2 berghaus gortexs
2 versace
1 Timberland
2 Aquascutum
5 CP COMPANY (metropolis,mille meglia,two cockatoos,japanese beekeepers and a puma doca)


If you want my opinion get a CP COMPANY jacket they own stone island and are the more upmarket version,they are dearer my metropolis was nearly Ł800 but worth every penny.Everybody looks at it trying to decide what it is but only those "in the know" recognize it.

what jacket to buy, this a car forum not a gay chat room

ill prob use one of my fleeces if its cold or my leather jacket like i have done for the past 200 years

why you need a new jacket for the winter ill never know, there soo fooking big fitting the missus collection all over the house is a nightmare ( not mentioning the ones we "forget" and the familys places as theres no rooom


gra if you spent this much thought on ya track car it might be on the road for next summer

then onlything i buy in winter is socks, new sock on a cold winters morning is the best feeling

Tis a very warm jacket and nice looking, like the fact that the hood rolls up and folds away inside the collar so doesn't look anoraky when I don't need it, HH don't do many puffa jackets, so just had to buy it when I saw it
