Ten C : The Emperor's New Clothes

[bry2000]

I may have interest in the short parka in size 52, if it does not work for you.

I almost went in on the storm parka but hesitated due to the reports of Ten C's quality :/

How does the field jacket fit you? I am somewhat interested in one down the road, and I'm 6'4 with a 40" chest and was thinking about the 50 of 52. Would likely want the shearling liner at one point, so im not looking for super fitted.

The field jacket is too slim, I can only wear it with a t-shirt

yeah I think that makes he hesitate on the Brandt. I've seen iy once known person about 2 years ago and the fabric was amazing. however after started seeing people say it lost its waterproofness / extreme wear and tear

Frankly, I don't understand some of the really harsh reviews from a year or two ago, unless production has changed since then. My Storm Parka is so solid that I literally felt a little claustrophobic when I zipped it all the way and put up the hood. It feels like armor. If it's a matter of disappointment in the reduction of water resistance over time, I can understand that. But, pretty much any tech fabric I've owned does the same thing.

Haven is having 15% off outerwear with 'OUTER15', but they are still more expensive than most EU/UK stocklists.

TenC's material really sucks, as long as you like the design of the coat, that's all that matters.

I don't know, man. I wouldn't pay a dime for something made from material I thought really sucked, regardless of whether I like the design.

Then you will find that you wasted $470

@habitant and @zissou , thanks for the comments on the sizing. Appreciated.

No, I meant material that I thought really sucked, not material that you thought really sucked. Perhaps, this coat won't pan out to be what I expected, and that's fine. You won't find me buying more than one Ten C jacket if that's the case.

keep us updated Z on the jacket. when I felt the jacket yes u are right it felt bomb proof, very substantial. who knows maybe it's different now.

I've been debating in my mind what to do in terms of liners for my Storm Parka. I almost purchased the shearling liner and hood, but I like the shearling collar that came with the coat (see my photo above), and would surely have to remove it.

And, I don't like how the shearling hood liners stick out of the hoods...

...and the shearling liner is so damn expensive.

Maybe I will just get the down liner and use it with the included shearling collar.

 

[habitant]

Received my short parka today, no liner or collar or anything.. The fit is spot on though. Sleeves are fine.
