I always imagine real fur will have insects living in it.
I think I’ve got Egyptian duck fur in the duvet, or something, but actual fur as an outer layer is a bit off.
In your sort of climate, I’d go for something with Primaloft or Polartec Alpha, over a traditional goose down jacket. I had the latter in a cycling jacket I used to have and was astounded at how warm it was for deep winter riding. Almost too warm. Toasty in sub-zero temperatures with significant wind chill with only a base layer underneath.
Also known for being status symbols amongst Conor McGregor wannabes. Every photo they’re in, the guy will stand turning slightly to the right to show off the logo on the left sleeve. They’re a premium brand, story goes that the jackets were given out to Canadian rangers in the high Arctic as they’d obviously need serious warmth - made with bits of real goose, so you know it’s good…
Think some of the goose down farming is suspect too. I heard of people in London getting red paint chucked on their coats by PETA members
Yeah there’s permanent protests outside their regents street shop. Or maybe just at the weekend.
Fuck Canada goose it’s all about Moncler.
Infinitely uncool in terms of Instagram likes, but Musto do some really good cold weather technical parkas with Primaloft in. It’s only worn by people who can afford to own sailing yachts and rely on it to cross the Atlantic so you know the construction is bullet proof and it does what it’s supposed to. I’ve had a few shells and other bits from them. It’s pretty low key design wise and quality is great.

Didn’t Musto do a Palace collab?
Every Michael Fabricant and their dog wears moncler around here. Fucking 10 year olds cutting about in it.

They’re all £1000+ right?
Where do you live? I don’t see it much.
I got a Moncler gilet with a discount at Bicester village and it was still something stupid like £400.
Moncler is the Wee Guy jacket of choice. You get Wee Guys instead of neds now. These skinny little kids in leggings, Vans/Balenciaga/Max97, polo shirt and a Moncler jacket. I guess their dads are dressing them but it’s everywhere. Thousands of them.

My one is very subtle, not that shiny style you see those greasy Italians wearing.
Portsmouth.
I’m going to say it’s mostly snide.
Beaten up AF1s is the giveaway.

But yeah I need a nice jacky and I have no clue. Everything’s ruined.
I might get like a flasher mac or a second hand sheepskin coat.
I just got delivery of a Dickies jacket from ASOS for £50 and it’s the best jacket I’ve ever owned. It’s navy with a camo hood. This one.
I’m a bit fat and got a medium and it fits perfectly. It’s warm but not too puffy and there’s pockets that fit your hands perfectly.

Can’t deal with any having to pull coats over my head when I get in from it pissing down.
