now that... will look stunning

[edit: nowhere in my original post did i say "help dress me up like richard simmons!" dork.]

[Derfud]

That was stupid. Any ways. I have a really nice NFA winter jacket. It fits everything in your description, aside from being yellow, you can probably find one in grey. It was fairly cheap also, at $150 CDN.

[Fragmatic]

Well, how about this?

A 1985 German army jacket? (That is my normal coat btw :p)

Not as bad as the t-shirt I made for 1 haloween (went trick or treating as comic chars)
http://img30.photobucket.com/albums/v91/Fragmatic/pareverseshirt.jpg
I wore it to a von bondis gig and got it signed :p

[martyr]

ooh. haha, i like that, frag. american mil surplus would be too obvious, but foreign stuff wouldn't

edit:
on derfud's suggestion, i checked out NFA, cursory glance found a good example:
http://www.boardzone.com/snow/shop/jackets-winter/nfa/2004-c3-3-in-1/index.cfm

i really like that for winter use, especially with the unzippable under-arm area, which would add some circumference

[Fragmatic]

They're cheap as well, and toasty warm.

[martyr]

yeah - i need something cooler, though, for a wet florida summer & fall - that still won't get too tight on my torso

[Fragmatic]

Problem solved!

The inner fleece part can be removed (not worn seperately)

[Harps]

dickies work jackets are nice.

[AztecWarrior]

[edit: nowhere in my original post did i say "help dress me up like richard simmons!" dork.]
:rofl:

[Bighoss]

hold on pic didn't work!

[OfaLoaf]

Trenchcoat?

[SDM]

I just got a nice spring jacket from PING Golf. I feel sexxay in it. :brow:

[martyr]

the problem with the golf apparel i've seen is that it comes tight against the sides of the torso [which i can't have].... but it's nice and lightweight

dickies (http://www.dickies.com/wc2/product.asp?cat=101&type=H&styd=JNT71BK&pdscr=NYLON+TASLON+JACKET+) looks ok...

[Triggar]

Trenchcoat?

As the woman who would be seen on the arm of the coated man, I have to go ahead and give a big, red

NO

to that idea, kkthx. :borg:

What about teh German army jacket?

It's still got that classic "serial killer" look to it.

[Triggar]

Yeah, so long as it isn't:

a) A trench coat,
b) A duster,
or
c) Anything that Neo would wear.

He looks like Neo in real life enough as it is.

[Fragmatic]

Tis this -

Can you draw a fat limey bastard in a german jacket and baggy jeans? (me love you long time!)

[Sputty]

I think this would be fitting for martyr:

:sick: :ban:

[Rbstr]

Get yourself a nice, northface or Columbia Goretex Rain Coat, very light but wind/water proof

[martyr]

[Dharkbayne]

[Jennyboo]

That pic was just wrong :scared:

[Electrofreak]

/me wears a long black trenchcoat

Whuzza.

Whats wrong with wearing a long coat?! I am thin and pale as well, and I :love: my coat.
Not to mention, more than once I've had a chick I don't know walk by and say "hey thats a nice coat". And I'm pretty sure they weren't being sarcastic. ;)

edit- on second thought, both times were walking through my high school to go visit my stepmom (whos a teacher). High school girls are easy to impress :rolleyes:


edit2- OMG I JUST SCROLLED UP AFTER POSTING. /me pukes :sick:

YEAH! Bring back the members only jackets!

[Queensidecastle]

d00d! It's for Members only. You cant have one :rock:

[dscytherulez]

Check Starter jackets out. That's what I wear all year round. Mine is just a windbreaker, but It seems to be warm enough in the Winter. I like the cold.

Edit: I'm not talking about those gay thick sports teams jackets. Mine is just a plain blue jacket/windbreaker with a starter logo on it. I really like it.

[Hezzy]

A denim jacket. I'm capable of wearing one unbuttoned in english weather with a t-shirt, so I think it'll do you fine :D

[Fragmatic]

I am so getting one of those.

�30 in Camden Market. :D Dead cheap, wearable all year round, and frikkin indestructable.

[martyr]

thread resurrected: i do believe i've found a winner. i like frag's but it's too heavy for florida, and i like armata's but it's $300. starter jackets are too short, and i will never don another peice of denim except in dire emergencies.

short of sdm's selection, i'm going with this, in greys:

http://www.rockcreek.com/images_products/colors/product_color_1239.jpg


and buying it from here: http://www.marmotmountain.com/

[Electrofreak]

wow, saw this thread and was like HFS, thread back from the DEAD?! I still think you should have gotten a trenchcoat :p

[martyr]

yeah, well, i'm a pretty indecisive guy when it comes to stuff like this, so instead of picking something out while the thread was running, i decided to sit back and let the right jacket come to me, the way it did earlier today.

and after all the great response in this thread, i thought i'd update everybody as to what i'll be using to conc wearing.

[Onizuka]

Indeed, that German jacket looks awesome.

[Fragmatic]

Indeed, that German jacket looks awesome.

I know :D

[Ivan]

Indeed, that German jacket looks awesome.
I've had one for years.

[martyr]

omg, new jacket.

http://img30.exs.cx/img30/5978/IMG_6733.jpg

[Hezzy]

Sechsay.

Although, I'm not really partial to the waterproof look nowdays. Parkas for the win.

[JetRaiden]

you shouldve just got some kevlar. with sleeves.

[Mag]

Your monochromatism has sucked the joy from my day.

[Hezzy]

Parkas are waterproof on the inside.

They have hoods.


I had a damnsite heavier rain about a week ago. I could see about 2-3 metres infront of me, max. No water got through. My hair was completly dry.

[Electrofreak]

Omg thread ressurection.

[Mag]

Don't hate him because he's beautiful :lol:
His beauty has blinded me. Ray Charles smiley for teh win. :cool:

[starbum]

I want that german jacket.

*scours the internet military surplus sites*

[martyr]

i think i made that outline too light. allow me to re-demonstrate the wonder of this florida-weather jacket.

(no. i cannot wear a parka in daytona beach. i'm sorry hezzy)

http://img29.exs.cx/img29/1365/IMG_6734.jpg

[Everay]

this wouldnt be about some gun control laws that require you to have your gun consealed and put in a way that noone can see it and if they do its against the law now would it? ( at least i think thats the way it is in florida, right? )

[martyr]

sure would.

that's why my requisites at the beginning of this thread included features on this jacket that would draw attention away from directions of folds & wrinkles. that's referred to as "printing" in florida law

i am wearing a holstered sidearm in both of those pictures on my right side.

[Kuraltai]

sure would.

i am wearing a holstered sidearm in both of those pictures on my right side.I can see it now .. martyr and trig walking down the sidewalk and a local cop walking the other direction .. as the cop approaches he tell martyr "Assume the position", frisks him then says "nice jacket!". :rofl:

[JetRaiden]
