I got the slim fitting one: good, stylish jacket but not as warm as you may think - if more than 5-6 centigrades below zero you need a warm sweater underneath. Also, it gathers ridiculous amounts of snow if you wear it when snowing.

Otherwise I recommend Burton or Arcteryx for functionality clothing, or an Alpha Industries NB3.

Thanks for the info Captain, it doesn't get below 5 degrees celcius here in Wellington (New Zealand) and I've never even touched snow so it should be sweet.  I'd probably go for the classic model that's 32oz just not 100% on the fit.

[Captain]

Then you need what we northern people refer to as a summer coat 

Dont know about the classic fit, but mine is spot on fit-wise. Substantial fabric, good engineering (made in Canada). Best pea coat I've handled (haven't seen the Buzz Rickson), I recommend a non-blue, as you probably almost always wear blue jeans.

Thanks Captain.

Hi,
Winter's coming and nobody's posting!!!!

Splashed out as I didn't need a coat last year as I'd just come out of hospital and was housebound for several months.

My coat is amazing:(one off design by me so they won't repeat it)
Made to measure (would fit Barbie)

Japanese calf leather knee length trench coat
Lining - very heavy midnight blue cashmere
Lapels - biker style complete with studs on lapels

Hope it lives as long as I do!(Winter coat is NOT on my 2012 clothing budget/wish list!

What is everybody else wearing for winter?

Try as I might, I cannot imagine this.

I picked up a Dunderdon hooded parka right before we went into a warm snap. Such a nice coat, it's almost shame it doesn't get colder here in winter…

@Shoreman:
