Advice Find me a nice winter jacket

procrastination finally pays off maybe. some guy i work with apparently also has a part time job at a high end winter outfitter, he was going around telling us all yesterday. 20-30% discount, hopefully going to look around tomorrow.:clap:
 
I have lots of scarves. My favourite is a linen Ralph Lauren which is more for fashion than function. If you hurry, you can still get it on Amazon for $114.98

if I do wear a scarf it will be a solid royal blue, without the tassles or whatever those are.
 
So fed up with these junk nylon YKK zippers on every fucking jacket. How has this company been allowed to corner the market on getting every winter jacket manufacturer to use their zippers? Un-fucking-real.

My LL Bean winter jacket, just like the last 6 or so, the zipper broke and many teeth fell out of the zipper. I took it back to the Bean store yesterday afternoon. Got instore credit. None of the jackets they had in the store had good quality zippers. If I'm going to shell out $200 fucking dollars for a damn winter jacket, I want a quality zipper. I also checked the North Face store and Dick's Sporting Goods; all of those jackets had same shit zippers.Ended up having to get another LL Bean jacket from their Outlet store. This one has smaller zipper, so hopefully it won't fucking fail as fast as all of the others.

Note, I haven't paid for jacket in like 15 yrs because of LL Bean return policy. So they've lost like over a grand or more just because the refuse to use any other zipper manufacturer. I don't get it.

I broke a tooth off one of my jackets Friday night. I zipped my polartec under my gortex shell to each other. :waw:
