Where can I find a cheaper version of this wool coat? I really love the double lined look.

Tried sending me a CAD$45 bill for the awesome service they did of... paying CAD$5 in tax to the CBSA on my behalf. Gave them a cheque for the amount of the tax and told them to pound sand.

Didn't have the greatest experience with them but that was mostly Fedex Canada's fault.

I got mine from Americana Pipedream apparel. They mostly do milsurp. Mine included the original military regalia, cross swords on the lapel, etc. Was fairly easy to remove with a stitch remover.

Then Fedex tried to scam me out of CAD$45 but they can go pound sand.

Do you not live in a more populated area that might have second hand stores or flea markets etc?

Only way I see you get much cheaper than that is second hand places, see you've sent a link ending in .com.au so Imma guess you're an aussie. Gumtree? eBay? idk any second hand type stores down under though.

Stylish in extreme cold

Did some experimenting with my wardrobe, writing this atm wearing 9 layers as a test. * The C150 * A north face vest I forgot I had * Aforementioned north face jacket, * suit jacket * suit vest * dress shirt * a thermal long johns-esque jacket/shirt. * 2x undershirts I think this is the kind of protection that would likely do me well at -40, but would need those temps to confirm. Though I think the thermal jacket/shirt is adding more bulk vs the benefit, tried before without it and only 1 undershirt and my movement was much less restricted with a similar amount of warmth.
