What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Shanghai-Mayne]

Thank you Shanghai ! At that moment I cannot explain better thabn with pics that I'll show you , but not now. I don't think I'm gonna buy an A2 now ( I already wait for a BK by now ) but having an account on TB will give me the opportunity to explore more possibilities and other kind of jackets.? The ones you post are really great .

I know There are better A2 markers (also expensive ) , but they don’t sell on TB , for various reasons.

All you need is , to download a proxy cell phone service APP, use that proxy cellphone number, to create a very basic account on TB. Don’t use any real information.

Bloody freezing here, -7 Celsius and a bit of a wind. I wussed out and donned the old Canada Goose. I won't belabour anyone with photos of this modern monstrosity but by God, they're damn toasty and I'd never sell mine.

What model GD parka Tim?

I've got a Citadel Burt. Bloody love it as you know. Worn it up at the cabin in the mountains under -25 Celsius no drama.

They're brilliantly designed, pulls on the pockets designed to be used whilst using huge gloves/mittens, wire in the hood to adjust due to wind level, two different hand warmer pockets based on how cold it is.

Plus there's not many bits of outdoor clothing which come with a lifetime warranty.

They've had a bad rap of late just because they became trendy and idiots were wearing them in climates where they're not needed. But if you live in places where it gets seriously cold or the Arctic like I do, they're bloody brilliant.

How would you rate your Citadel against a military issued N-3B ?

As I think you know I had a N-3B back in the day Burt. There's no comparison, the Canada Goose is 1000% times better.

Materials are better, insulation is better, details, functionality, just everything is better.

Canada Goose aren't cheap but if you're in seriously cold temperatures you can't beat them. They are worth every penny. When you have one you understand why they're the most used jackets in Antarctica.

Thanks for the info Tim.
Did you ever do a review of it here?
If so shoot me a link , I’d like to read up on it. Definitely not for Florida weather but I could see wearing one out in Colorado or Montana .

Best extreme cold climate parka ever.

Whilst you wait for a photo or two of the parka Burt, here's a snap from a few years back up at our mountain cabin. Temperature was -20ish and it was also blowing a gale (that's why my eyes were red raw). Royal Flying Corps scarf was doing a damn good job too!

I remember seeing this photo but for some reason I never realized this was you .
I thought it was an advertisement photo off of the Internet for Canada Goose Coats.
DUH !!!

Thanks for the kind words Burt. The car is largely why I've been offline as I bought it in 2021 and almost straight away started rebuilding it - I can bore people about easily! a quick pic as you askedView attachment 167377

Absolutely nice vehicle!

I love the “mild” mods on the outside of the vehicle so it keeps its character - combined with the engine mods it looks like a pretty fine car …

Hi , this RW fits you very well . I think it's just the fact that you usualy or quite always wear slim jackets .Well , I gess ! I own 3 ELC 44 and one ELC 46 ( 23373 models , 2 Air matsers "time worn" , 1 that I'm still break'in , all these 3 are slim fit and the last one is an older one second hand Pearl Harbour , the 46 one that in 1st impression i felt a beat baggy ) . I just had to putted the jacket in the shower ( extern part only ) and wore it till it dried and shrink a little , just to mold better on my body , now it's just fine I'm happy cause now I can wear a wool sweater under and have the choice of style I want to wear , slim fit or "loosy fit" . . And some pics with the diff ELC . 1st is the 46 with a qute heavy wool sweater under , 2nd one of the Air Masters time worn with a tee shirt and the last the seal brown break'in wip with a thn wool sweater . All different shapes that give me more choices.
Btw , I just ordered a RW 27752 to BK . ("20% Russet Friday" ). I'm 1m88 90kgs , quite athletic . The size i ordered is a 46S , Hope that it will fit me like yours !! Is yours a seal liberty Horse leaher ? Just t know , it was my choice . Here is the promo
