    Looking for a new winter jacket/coat
    Hey guys,

    I'm looking for a new winter jacket/coat. These two from Barbour I absolutely adore but are sadly too expensive for my budget (£100-120 tops).





    So, to sum up; i'm looking for something that's dark in colour and has a vintage/distressed look that it will also be very warm. Does anyone have any suggestions for jackets that look similar to the above but are also within my budget?

    I hope someone can help!

    I just got a Musto Snug Blouson and love it, but it's not really what your looking for so here goes.

    If your will to stretch your budget by quite a lot you could look into these guys. They make Belstaff style jackets but to your size. http://claymorejackets.co.uk/ I've head some good things about them on forums but you might want to research into it a bit more before committing to a buy.

    As for jackets closer to the budget, look at waxed cotton motorcycle jackets, a quick good and I found this, http://www.chequeredflags.co.uk/delu...l?currency=GBP No idea what the quality is though.

    Topshop have lovely coats like that (in the £50-80 price range too) and if you like quilted jackets, try the JW one, it's 98 i think though? Heard it's VERY warm though!

    Update: Thanks for your replies guys, but there's nothing that takes my fancy from what you have suggested so far, thank you though! I did order a Barbour quilted jacket but its miles too big (and its a small)

    I'm willing to broaden my options a bit, I wan't something that is of a decent quality, is warm (obviously, for winter) but not something extreme like something from the North Face or Trespass. I don't mind if its waxed or not, just something that is warm, practical and looks damn good!

    If anyone can come up with some inspiration, I will be very happy
