I bought one of these for the coming winter (because I can't afford a bespoke Full Norfolk !!!) Not at all restrictive in arm movement (I was waving a broom handle around like a rod in the shop), toasty warm, materials (tweed and moleskin) that feel like they will last me years, and no complaints about the price (even though I got it before they reduced the price).

Re: Traditional angling clothing
Very nice fellas. I'm a big fan of the Hoggs of Fife brand and purchase all of my country attire from them. Have just treated myself to one of these, and a cap to match......

I've a nice Orvis Zambezi jacket I fly fish in when I don't wade too deep. Leather on the elbows and trim, very nice but expensive now to buy. I too have a Donegal tweed suit, sadly too small for me now. I must lose some weight??
