Any suggestions for a decent mid-lightweight parka? Returning the EG ground jacket (really disappointed!) and batten sportswear parka as they weren't my cup of tea. Only criteria is that it isn't green or a bright orange, max of £400 and isn't shit.

Pretty much every jacket on the last page sucks. Then you add up roughly how much they would all cost Barf!

I'll be honest I'm nowhere near as clued up on my menswear as 99% of the people on this site (rarely ventured beyond albam until a few months back) but I was just a bit shocked at the quality for what you paid for. I appreciate that being made in the USA with more limited numbers and by a high end (ish) brand that it'll cost more but I really couldn't justify it being worth the close to £300 I paid for it. I felt lucky not to tear the buttons off each time I undid them! Like I said may just be me though, I don't want to come across as if I have a clue Laughing out loud

Surprised to hear that, any of the EG bits I've had have been great quality, shame to hear the ground jacket wasn't upto their usual standard thought it looked nice myself.

Looks lovely. Would be great with some washed denim.
