Addict stuff is quality. I've got a great Addict hoody, doesn't fit me right now due to my fat bastard belly though

Meh, I know of the comfort and of the quality of this jacket, i've worn one before, and it was fantastic. The quality of the material, and the way it's cut is exceptional IMO. I've wanted my own for ages, but could never afford it. It'll last me years, so im considering the fact that it is made to last, and I certainly wont be putting it down in clubs like I did the last jacket I had!

What the fuck's wrong with Barbour? I've got a Barbour (a sensible Bristol, not some fashion jacket). They can't be beat for looking like a cunt in the rain.
This is a cunt's coat:
You have to be a real wanker to think it's OK to wear one of them, especially with one of those big floppy hats.

Yes but why, Spade? For me it comes down to class analysis.
And looking a cunt!
I used to know a guy who wore those things all the time. Public schoolboy, silver spoon, MBA material. Thought he was better than everyone else, even though he was not particularly clever. He liked to dominate meetings with his booming voice.

I've got nothing against them knock, I just don't like them being marketed as a fashion item. I might even own a 20 year old one myself 
The thing about wax jackets is you've got to be working pretty hard for them to keep actually you warm, or else you freeze. Or you have to wear loads of layers under them. And they weigh a ton. So for city life, they're not very well suited, I think there are far better choices for keeping warm & dry. If you're in a rough muddy countryside environment they can't be beaten.
But I heard they're being manufactured abroad now and the quality has suffered.
i think mine would be pretty safe left in a club

I just think only a wanker would wear a jacket like the one you posted, they are horrendous and scream out pretentiousness.

Mine keeps me very warm, yeah I wear a jumper underneath, and a scarf, but I would wear them with any waterproof.
All kinds of functional things are marketed as fashion items. Jeans for a start!
But mainly I just find my Barbour very comfortable, and quiet. I think the sound of synthetic fibre is quite irritating

Whats the deal with people wearing indianna jones hats and those big long wax jackets ... You never see one without the other ? What spurred it all on . Or is it a by product of nasty moldy mid life crisis people wanting to look like bent cowboys ?

It's very annoying! I think they just want to show off.
I got close to one once and he smelled a bit funny, like rotten meat.

They seem to clean to be real hunters .... Agriculturalized Goths maybe ?

I've seen a few middle aged "alpha male" manager types wearing them on their commute to work. It was one of them that stank.

This is true. A nation as cold as Scotland where the traditional dress for the males is a skirt with nothing underneath is a very hard race. Even Geordies don't do that.

Thats cos you probably havn't worked out the zip yet .... Reckon the "alpha male" was an american psycho type ? Maybe murdered a homeless person on the way in ?

Aye, they do make make some decent graphic style T's an hoodies. The Son'z Of A Loop Da Loop Era text underneath the pitch adjuster on that T is a nice touch. Quality tune.

Got a DKNY black leather jacket here.
Feels a bit too 'towny'ish/flash to be wearing out and about around these parts.
Feels v good quality though.

Ordered another Addict T-shirt again last night.
I have the first design of that tshirt, but it's a bit old and mis-shapen now. Addict do some nice clothing, but I preferred them when they were starting up and were cheap, cos I'm not paying £25 for a tshirt.

I got an Addict coat in about 2006, they had set up in an otherwise empty unit in Spittalfields Market on a Sunday and were having a sale, think I paid about £40 for it, they're now charging about £120 for a similar one.
