Nice pick up John, I took mine out on the first quite cold day today (10 degrees) …passed with flying colours with just a tee shirt underneath it, actually got a bit uncomfortably hot.

Hey guys, it doesn't get that cold here in the winter, so this is my winter jacket: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/outerwear/cotton/PRDOVR~37001/37001.jsp

However, I'd like to waterproof it if I can, any suggestions?

Thanks Mega

BTW, the 3M Scotchgard website says the average American spends $641 on clothing and shoes per year. That's hilarious!

Or try Nikwax spray on or wash in. Or if feeling flush as it works very well in my humble Collonil

[Megatron1505]

The only reason I mention the spray, is that you can direct it to the areas which you want to waterproof, unlike the wash in stuff. I've used Jack Pyke and it works extremely well, but ,according to the research I did, the Scotch guard gets the best reviews.

Purchase and proxy including shipping is 20USD. Otherwise, go for something that has at least some organic fat in it, these usually tend to last longer before you need to re-applicate
