Help me find the ultimate winter coat/parka
-
@ubanwoodsman: The Filson is too warm? It only has a wool lining? I need a jacket that will handle temps down to -20C and frankly I can't imagine this one is up to it.
Yes, too cold for me in NYC.

Giles has or had a shearling car coat, which is less Captain Caveman than the parkas mentioned above.
Surely warm enough, but I am no Vin Diesel lookalike, I am afraid.

I've got a Reiwen winter parka that's fantastic, but too big for me now. Current wearing an APC parka that I got cheap last year. Only problem is I can't rock a thick sweater underneath without feeling like the Michelin Man.
Thinking Arcteryx Veilance if I could get a good sale, or looking into getting the Reiwen made smaller. It's perfect for Toronto winters and the ladies really like it.

Damn, I'm glad I found this thread. It's made me realize I can just buy the Reiwen again in a smaller size!

I think the Veilance insulated pieces might actually do the trick if layered properly. (I think a heavy winter flannel underneath should suffice.)
I managed to pick up a Galvanic IS from Mr. PORTER for 50% off yesterday which will hopefully compliment my Insulated Field Jacket on the days I am concerned it doesn't provide adequate length to cut out the cold. There's one size Small left.
