Hi,
I've fancied a ventile top for a while but don't like the "action man" look of many jackets that are based on the British Army smock.
Ebbelsen have a jacket that looks more civilian (if you follow me) but is as pricey as other brands. I think the fit will be ok for me - but willing to listen to views of esteemed fellow BCUKers.
My worry is the hood. It comes off and has a neat, purpose-built pocket inside the coat, but there don't seem to be many pictures of anyone wearing the hood - the website is poor and reviews don't provide convincing images. I like a hood that gives good coverage in the rain - does this one?
Anyone know anything or have any insights?
All replies appreciated.
Rob
