Woolrich parkas have seen a sharp increase in popularity over the last few years so it's just good business to reduce costs as they know this popularity is fleeting. See also Barbour.
The new consumers won't notice/care that the current product is inferior and the traditional consumers are too niche a group worry about.

Always figured them to be a bit of a staple. But have noticed an increase in popularity.
What's a decent alternative for the perpetually cold? Don't really fancy Canada Goose.

Didriksons? My girlfriend has one and it's toasty, she was wearing it in -28 recently.
Might also be worth looking at 49 Winters and Parajumpers.
The North Face have a couple of subtly-branded down parkas.

Hey guys, can you recommend me a winter coat for the tall/skinny guy?

Mine was £350. You pay for what you get I guess. Can't wear Canada Goose anymore. Literally every fucker in London has one on now.

That second one looks bang on - sell child/re-mortgage to afford one probably.
Any cheaper alternatives out there?

Are there any cheaper alternatives to Vis Deckhand? Seen the Buzz Rickson one but they still go for plus £300 looking to spend no more than £200 max.

Try Carhartt or Universal Works.
