Just got this in and it’s pretty awesome. Very roomy in the body even though I sized down one. Need to save up for some ss20 byborre :bigstar:

NORWEGIAN RAIN PRE-ORDERS


At long last, we're happy to put up our Norwegian Rain pre-orders, and this is a special one because they have opened up their fabric archives just for us. What this means is an abundance of choices, with some of them extremely limited. Because of this, there is a video where Greg flips through the swatches, and you can see the face of the swatch at the top, and then the name on the white sticker once he flips it over.

We're of course offering everyone's favorite Moscow, Bumfreezer (also a NMWA exclusive now) and Single Breasted, but I'm going to start with two new styles.

If you want to get right to it, all of the pre-orders are here but I will walk through them below and in the next few posts.

The first is called the Nesta Falck, and is a really cool design that is a lot more casual than what we typically see from them. It's got these great patch pockets on the front and has a fixed hood that actually rolls up into the collar when you want to put it away. Overall, just a nice casual design that isn't too long or too short. Weight-wise it's comparable to the single breasted, and does not have the quilted arctic lining.

For sizing reference, in these photographs I'm wearing a size M and I am typically a US Small, although I wear an M in the Single Breasted and Bumfreezer.

Seen here on Greg (still size M, which is a size small for him) in their new camo hopsack.

The next new style is really, really special. I'm calling it a proof of concept gone right but I think that's doing them a disservice as a lot of thought and design went into it, but the best way I can describe it is as a waterproof leather Bumfreezer. It's called the Aviator Hybrid and is made up in a specially bonded leather from their partnership with ECCO. It has a very unique, almost waxy hand to it but it lends itself really well to that Bumfreezer design, and looks perfect with the shearling collar. This one is warm like the Bumfreezer too, with the wool fiber fill lining and removable hood and everything.

When Greg told me about this one I wasn't sure what to think, but as soon as I saw it in the showroom and then tried it on I realized they had come up with something very cool even if my expression in these photos belies that.

Seen here on me in a size M, which is what I wear in the Bumfreezer and what I would want in this.

It's also offered in a black version of this leather, but I don't have photos of it so we will have to use our imagination.

Pre-order here.

Now we can move onto the classics.

First off is the Moscow, the monster of a coat that has gotten me through a lot of those miserable days where the temperature is in the teens but you still have to be out and about. I think we all have a Moscow story like that, and this thread is full of pictures of them covered in snow as well. Just a great design that manages to look good with everything and keep you warm while doing it.

Sizing is true to size, and I wear a small in this one.

The other winter-weight coat is the Bumfreezer, which for a few seasons now has been a No Man exclusive. Named so because it cuts off at the waist but is plenty warm above, it's a good looking coat that I think makes great use of the way Norwegian Rains fabrics don't look like technical fabrics. Made up in just about anything, it looks more like a handsome shearling trimmed bomber jacket than something that can hold up to the elements as well as it does.

Sizing is slim and small, and I recommend ordering one larger than your typical US size.

Lastly, we have the coat that started our love for Norwegian Rain - the Single Breasted. Tailored but technical, it's a sharp coat that is incredibly well thought out from top to bottom. This looks just as good with jeans and a sweatshirt as it does over a flannel suit, and we've stocked it and restocked it every season for a reason.

This one fits slim and small, and I recommend ordering one size larger than your typical size for a regular slim fit, but it's also safe to go up two if you plan to wear it over a lot of layers or tailored clothing. Because of the design, it will still look sharp and tailored even sized up two.

Those NR coats and jackets almost make we wish I lived in a place with a lot of cold and inclement weather. Almost. After enduring five days in the Boston area over the Christmas holiday, I have decided I never want to live north of Maryland.

Our winter has been unseasonably warm (no polar vortex) with not a hint of snow. :(
