How are you chaps getting on with this? Wifey is thinking of getting me one for Christmas.

Oh sorry, misread post, thought it said For those of you who favour weed

This coat really is as good as I thought it would be. So much so that I have now got myself the bodywarmer to go with it http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bodywarmer-Wais ... d_sim_ap_2

I am off deadbaiting for pike in the morning and will be accoutred accordingly. So far I have found that the bodywarmer over my old army pullover is so warm that I have not needed to don the coat.

Just the job for winter fishing and it goes with a cane rod like bread goes with butter.

i have the shooting jacket and a body warmer / gillet from Hoggs of Fife, wonderful things, worn together they are VERY toasty indeed, much too hot to walk far in but lovely sitting still on a frosty morning.

I agree, these coats are so warm that I rarely wear a jumper under it

Thanks gents

Gents, Can you help with sizes please. In the size guide they say a large is a 40 inch chest
and a XL is a 42 inch chest. I am a 42-43 inch chest, anyone bought one of a similar size ? Thanks.

I am 5'11" with a 46" chest and I purchased an 2XL which is just right. Obviously you do not want a tight fit in such a garment but it is always something of a risk when getting an item of clothing which you haven't tried on.
