What, no chatter about the latest pair of Converse? I decided to pass personally. I like them, beige laces over red laces all day long though, but I'd rather put that money into outerwear. Wish they'd do a Purcell version too.

You guys are awesome. I may give the 48 a shot. The search begins!


I am 5 9 with a 38-39 chest and 160 pounds and nearly all my cabourn is 50 par a aircraft and a couple of King George coats. I have the yellow raw cameraman in both a 50 and a 48, there is not a big jump in the sizing and can wear both but prefer the 50 as I like a looser fit.

On a side note just wondering how much people paid for the bench coat from markkt. Did people buy their normal size or size down,

Just lost an auction on the taffy parka.. So annoying it went for only 425$ my max bid was 5 less than that. I was ready to raise it up a bit but nothing happened on my account I was watching and updating it the last 10 minutes til it ended and there was zero activity. Is it that common that it raises just after the auction ends?

You got "sniped" on the auction. There are software/apps out there that helps you place bids at the very last second before the auction closes.

Bit of a let down. Sales fodder IMO.

I wouldn't say their prices are that great at all. A good 50% more than what I've seen most of that go for.

Anyone who's looking for an Everest Parka in a rare size won't get a better deal. If I hadn't spent so much lately I'd cop one without doubt.

I agree 1500 Euros is a very good deal - that's back at winter 2010 prices - size 42 as well which is great for Women
