@Giles:

…

thanks a lot G.

so how you feeling with the sweater and the jacket? still enough room (=L would be enough)? or is the fit perfect?

[Giles]

The sweat in L with the XL deck is perfect…...

Waterproofing

I used this on my Ebbets, which is a light cotton/poly mix shell.

Used half a can, and my Ebbets now appears to be completely waterproof, and the can of spray was only £8.49 from ebay.

How long does it stay waterproof?

[GimpKid]

I can't really wear jackets, but if I did, it'd be this one.

Can I put in a vote for next year's version to be khaki with black fur?  That would seal the deal for me.

It's usually used on camping equipment, and from the websites and forums which I looked through, it generally seems to last about a year, which isn't too bad for the price and how easy it was to do.

OK this is what I know I have "surplus to requirements" at the moment.

Drop me a PM if you think you may want one.

S, L, XL and XXL

Mega - think that spray will to the trick in any case!

wondering who will get theirs first (except G.) and put up some fitflicks…

[Giles]

Mega, no doubt about it…...

[Finn666]

Ample reason to take the rest of the day off imo…..

G, I'm certainly considering " running some errands"  this afternoon.

Rafa, Mini appears to have hidden our new camera from me, I will attempt to locate and use it later.

[Finn666]

Mini better be taking some flicks of you

[Megatron1505]

It's here, just ran into the canteen to try it on, feels perfect. Now I'm definitely going out for a while this afternoon.

[Finn666]

wanna see wanna see wanna see

[Seul]

Don't walk into a carwash now!..

[Megatron1505]

Sorry, no pics until tonight  ;), although I have taken 2 phone pics to send to Mini.

First impressions.

• It's warm, and I mean seriously warm.
• It's much lighter than the BR or MF versions.
• The construction is absolutely spot on, tough does not go far enough.
• It is much more fitted, and less boxy than the BR.
• It feels like it will be my winter coat for years to come.
• The collar does negate the need for a scarf.
• It's my favourite IH item after 20 minutes of wear.
