@dieworkwear turns out this parka is half price ($215) when proxying directly from Frizmworks. They are going to offer shipping to the US soon, but the proxy fees were low. So, I couldn’t resist.

KoreanBuddy, which charged me about $20. They’ve ordered the parka, but haven’t received it yet. I could let you know when it ships via DHL to me.

Even if the parka is decent quality, I think it’s worth a shot. Cabourn did a version of the parka, which was $1,500, and RRL’s is $800. Faded red would be more accurate, but orange is cool. It’s also available in black and olive green.

$250 is just above Uniqlo prices. I'll probably go with Olive since in true Stylefarmer fashion, I have an orange workwear-y coat already (Monitaly mountain parka). US 40/EU 50 -> L?

I’m digging the puffer jacket, haven’t had a nice one like that in ages.

curious why is everyone liking this brand so much? First I heard of it.

Likely because it's an affordable version of the original Eddie Bauer Kara Koram parka from 1953. At least, that's why I like it. There's a lot of great clothing coming from Korea these days, so it's fun to give some a try. I've been interested in Eastlogue for a while, but it's all too short/wide in the body and arms for me.

I am digging this https://frizm.co.kr/product/detail.html?product_no=1790&cate_no=24&display_group=1 but not digging the plastic zippers.

They’re by a young, up-and-coming designer, Nicole McLaughlin, who creates purposely non-functional outdoor footwear and apparel from food. Check her out on Instagram...
