Scandinavian coats

[CruCru]

At the start of winter every year I start thinking about getting myself the sort of warm Scandinavian coat that they wear on Fortitude. Every year I decide that I probably don't need a coat that is good down to -32C.

However, I do rather like this. It is rather expensive but then, so are these.

Is there anything else I should look at? I'm thinking a proper, luxurious coat.

Looks as though that website may have been hacked.

I flinched at the price but I'd second the Didrikson. It's cut tall though I'm 5 11" and it fits perfectly but can handle freezing days (Scotland).

hollyisalovelyname I believe they are all waterproof, very good coats and come with a lifetime warranty

YouWereAlwaysPerfect actually they're not waterproof. Mine (Trillium) is shower proof but definitely not rain proof.

rubybleu Sorry I've mixed up water resistant with waterproof

Living in Ireland I need waterproof

Cru I'm still looking at the Landsend ones you recommended for my commute which includes a long walk and public transport.

I really like the one I bought. Am waiting for it to get cold again so I can wear it - it's a bit too warm for the current 13C.

If you do look in TK Maxx for didrikson coats I discovered today they've put them in ski wear section rather than with the other parka type coats. Annoyingly I didn't look in ski wear section when I was in a bigger TK Maxx on Monday!
Today they had two In, both red, both £99 and both size 14 . Wrong size for me but they did look nice and toasty.

Didriksons coats are like walking around in the cold in a hot water bottle. Worth every penny.

I find a North Face coat too warm if I have a cardigan under it too and it's not absolutely freezing. If it's not below 5 degrees then it's just not cold enough for that kind of coat. you will pass out!

dowser have you bought from that website before? It looks a bit dodge..as in bad translation, that combined with incredibly cheap prices makes me suspicious!

Dowser It is a fake site, you'll never find a CG coat for £150, CG do not have sales, sites like that lure people in with their cheap prices and steal their credit card information, if something seems to be too good to be true, 99% of the time it is

I've reported dowsers post. They'd referred people to that dodgy website on another thread too.

squiz81 Good job, people do fall for those kind of sites that offer extremely low prices.

It's so funny, since starting this thread, I keep seeing people wearing Canada Goose parkas. I wonder whether they've had them ages or have just spent a grand on them?

For the price they do last long, I've had mine for a year and it still looks brand new, I think it is getting more as a fashion thing, because this country is never ever going to get that cold, Canada Goose coats are made for -10 weather.

I love the twodanes site but I couldn't see where to order online. Am I being dense?
