Im looking for a decent polycotton or cotton bushcraft jacket in an anorak style (i.e. over the head, possibly a front kangaroo pocket, and a decent sized hood) and in a subdued olive/brown etc. I like the bergens morgedal, but I would find it a little expensive for knocking about the woods, and would end up worrying too much about cutting it, tearing it, grinding ashes into it etc etc. I know it could happily be repaired, but this worry would probably detract from the enjoyment I would gain from its use if that makes sense. I have a cracking snowsled ventile anorak that suffers from the same problem. So ideally something no more than £70-£80, and maybe cheaper still.
Most of the offerings Ive found seem to be synthetic, or doesnt fit the above description. Potentials include:
Do people have any thoughts? Thanks!

- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/..._rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=577048407&pf_rd_i=desktop (Ive had one for years quite good, but short in the arms, and looking for a change)
- Titan fishing smock doesnt seem to come in olive/brown/tan etc
- Reproduction WW2 german mountain anorak very short neck opening so restrictive venting, and not overly keen on the cuffs/cut
Do people have any thoughts? Thanks!
