Amazing, might have to cancel my promise about not hassling G today.

I'm so excited about this that it is the first time ever which I have bought a coat to allow me to buy another coat, I almost understand how Reudi feels  ???

Mega,

Try this…..

I sent it to Haraki, his response:

Unbelievable he is abnormal・・・・Great !

[madmonday]

thanks for the images seul.

the neck is so practical & genius. 

sure to be warm no matter what you are doing.  curious to see the sleeve details once it lands.  i hope as much consideration was taken on it as it seems was taken on the rest of this beauty.

That video is incredible, but I work with a lot of scientist type guys ( they're into resins and stuff) who have pointed out some spray treatments which will achieve what I need.

These pictures just make me more excited…..going to lay down for a bit.

[madmonday]

so happy you mentioned the sprays.  i just figured some of your purists for all things done the old way would frown on that approach.

I'm buying this as my winter coat, and it will be on my back every day until it gets too warm, no room to be a purist here this is a functional item.

Mega, I ordered some Barbour wax today and I am going to try with my BR, if it turns out ok then you could do the same with the IH deck jacket.

The outer fabric is a bit different but I dont think this should be a big deal.

Traditional - Barbour wax.  Alternative - this:

I'm with you Mega

[Megatron1505]

I'm open to all ideas Hec, let me know how it turns out if you can 

[jacoavlu]

fjallraven makes a solid garment wax, good alternative for simpler application though probably not gonna get as good waterproofing without several coats

People,

I have precisely 22 of these arriving.  Including 6 XXL which Harakli very kindly made specially for me.  I guessimate they will be here on Monday of next week.

A number of you have already completed this form:

If you have not completed the form or are unsure whether you did, then please do.  I'm trying to get into some sort of order before the hurricane hits…....

Thanks, G

da…da....da...daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn  ???

Amazing, definitely the correct decision to wait for this jacket 

[Seul]

I start sweating every time I see this jacket… Construction is simply mindblowing as well... If they predict an arctic winter of three months for Belgium, I just might get it...

[Giles]

Depending upon your size, your wallet may be in luck.  If everyone who has filled out the pre-order forms commits, I and down to zeroes in some sizes….

[madmonday]

looked at the jp site & these show sold out in all sizes.  hopeful they just haven't put their stock online yet, but folks might want to have payment ready as when these fly out of G&P's shop that may be it until . . .

I'm not used to wishing my weekends away…but for this I'll make an exception. Decided to go with the Jack Pyke all fabric waterproofing spray, at the recommendation of a our Polymer Chemist at work.....he's also into shooting, and hiking, and all the outdoor good stuff.
