I told you it was the same stuff, as does their own website and Wikipedia so I’m glad you’ve cleared up the confusion? But I guess it’s me who is hard of thinking? The care instructions sound exactly like those provided by duuton.com which I told you to look at. But I guess I’m hard of thinking? Your garments sound excellent. Hope you enjoy continuing using them.

I don't care poo for the jacket, but the tone of your posts don't, to my mind, fit with the usual way things are done here, and they certainly seem to me to be at odds with your status as a newcomer here.

Don’t worry I’ve trying to leave but people keep sending me annoying messages. I didn’t expect the somewhat “challenged” calibre of contributors. Good luck with it all.

Mate, just stop replying. You've displayed a pretty poor attitude through this thread and most will have made their minds up that you are a very strange fanboy that quickly resorts to insults so just leave it alone eh?

You rode into troll country quite a while back

It must be bit like being a genie in a lamp for you. Everytime someone says Ebblesen on the 'net you are summoned to your chagrin.

I think we can probably have some fun with that.

Do you think it will work with all forums, or just here?

Fortunately I’m not your mate (I have enough already). If you think these have been insults, then bless, you’ve lived a very - tarpaulin - sheltered life. Evidently you’re the one who can’t leave it alone. Keep it coming I’ve got plenty of time and it’s been very entertaining showing all your replies around the office. People find it hilarious everyone’s constant “confusion” about a cotton fabric, branding, google alerts and what time people get up. Priceless! I might stay as it’s so entertaining! I challenge you to see whether you’ll reply or be the mature professional and rise above it. I’ve got a bet on with my colleague. Whatever happens I’m truely pleased for you that you enjoy bushcraft. It’s great being at one with nature, dressed in green and seeing if you could survive in the wilds of the English countryside. You’ll have the last laugh come armageddon.

It’s great getting my chosen google alerts as I never miss a bargain. And I don’t have to waste time doing searches. I know this is all a bit sci-fi for you but there are some really handy online courses showing you how the internet works which you can try? I can send you a link if you like?

I’ve had a Ventile jacket since 1983.

That's not a typo is it? That 1983 date. 35 years ago.

Also, while you are here and being helpful, do the hip pockets (is that what you would describe them as) on the Ebbelsen have access through the top where the press-stud flap is and from the side?

Very useful little provision that is

No, just top entrance for strength and weather protection.

Yes, 1983. Ventile is tough but it is showing it’s age around the hem.

Thanks

Ebbelsen say that they don't plan on a green or olive version in the future. The current palette is limited and selected for their target audience. Sad that. They do say that the 'earth' colour is like a light olive though. Still a bit Sir David for me.

You’re just plain rude. I couldn’t give a flying one about the coat, but I’ve read the thread. Your constant snarking and insulting behaviour referring to people as bearded tarp dwellers should see you banned soon. Now you’re being directly insulting and condescending. Maybe just **** off now?

Remember - to not startle a bear while out in the woods you must always keep your cool (control your temper and composure). Lesson number one if you want to be a true bushcraft master.

That’ll be the colour titled EARTH and shown as a light olive colour in large photographs on their product pages, then?

Oh no .. we can't let him go yet :)

Well, he’s not on Ignore yet. It’s been quite entertaining, but several of his posts are so derogatory and personal as to prompt me to respond.

Apparently BCUK has become the amusement in his office, and it’s clear he doesn’t have any respect for people. I just think he’d be better off banned and his IP salted so he can’t come back.

He's got a job? I don't think he's got a job :) Maybe one of his colleagues could post here to confirm he's got a job
