BIG just got some new CG stuff in and it's pretty fresh. Some special down filled corduroy jacket collection plus some stuff from the Japanese CG line.

what is that jacket? where can I buy it?

The CG logo is pretty interesting in that it's a really ****** version of the real United States Antarctic Program logo, which incidentally is on the standard issue jackets made by CG. I guess they really liked it but obviously couldn't use the real thing. Heres a shot of my issue parka with the USAP patch:

If you really like the jacket go for it, these things are practically indestructible.

Could one endeavour for their jacket to look as good as this? Most examples I've seen have an almost completely different fit.

I recommend the constable. It looks really nice and I've been very happy with it. The zippers don't look bad IMO.

I looked at some styles and they are wayyy to warm for the climate I'm in and the photographer jacket has a hideola plastic pocket down the left arm. As an aside, for the gym, I bought a cap and a tshirt at a sporting goods shop on St Denis, in Montreal.

That pic from Sartorialist is what got me to order a CG, thought it was slim fit like the pic. Tried it and promptly return it, it doesn't look anything like the pic. You might have to down 2 size to look like that. The actual jacket is like a armor, supposedly to protect you if you are in Antartica, way too warm even in the NYC Jan weather.
