i'd recommend investing in something higher quality...but, yeah, as chrono says, good you'll have to shell out the dough for good outerwear...



What size do you normally wear in BoO? I normally wear S in everything at UO and BoO...Im 5'9 and now 145-150 lbs...and the last D Collection jacket I bought was a small.

Can you post a fit pic please =) Thanks mate!

sorry, can't - i don't actually shop at UO. uhmm, the only shirting i have in boo are from S/S and i wear small, though the chest is too tight, so i should probably wear a medium. i didn't think it was possible to make shirts too small for me... you're bigger than me, how on earth do you fit into small band stuff? the buttons already like to pop off, so you must wave your arms and there goes [an amount in dollars/edit] in MOP buttons...

I'm looking for a casual winter jacket and I am debating this Ralph Lauren Black Label jacket. I already have a lot of coats and jackets but i'm looking for something for the rain/snow. What do you guys think about this?
