Fjallraven Osaka Classic Jacket

[East Coaster]

Hi folks,
found this while surfin

Anyone on here got one,,,your thoughts?
Any opinions, seems like a decent price.

Looks a bit on the short side for a bush jacket. I want it to cover my bun, preferably a bit further

Looks like a good winter or urban jacket, not so good for any warm/active use though.
I personally prefer an unlined jacket, like my own Fjällräven Kaise anorak, which I combine with warmer layers underneath depending on temperature/activity. Giving me a bit more versatility.
But for that price... If you like the look & feel of the jacket, I wouldn't think twice, the G1000 outer fabric and wool lining certainly are good choices

Details on that website are completely wrong though, according to Fjällräven's own site:

Osaka Jacket

Jacket in G-1000 with classic cut. Checkered lining in warm wool blend. Synthetic padding for added warmth. Fixed, adjustable hood, 2 breast pockets, 2 side pockets and 2 bellow pockets with flaps. 1 Napoleon pocket and 2 inner pockets with zippers. Adjustable sleeve cuffs, waist and hem. Button-down flap over the zipper.

Activity: Travel/City
Fabrics: G-1000 65% polyester, 35% cotton
Lining: 50% wool, 50% viscose upper inside. 100% polyamide lower inside quilted.
Filling: 100% polyester, 20 g

just bought another coat.:You_Rock_

if anyone wants a greenland winter (large) as new i'm probably gonna have to sellmine

Forestwalker, I see your point but I prefer mine shorter like this one.
Lasse2, thanks for the heads up. I do like the look and I seen some Fjallraven jackets last year at the Nordic Outdoor stand at the Perth Paddlesport event,,,seemed very well made.
I've done a bit more searching and they seem like a reliable company, quality wise.
Nordic Outdoor are still selling them at £159 and the cheapest on ebay is £100 plus postage so I reckon £48 is a bargain.
Now where's that credit card?

Oh my god:aargh4:
Don't believe it!
Fast but dim,,,,,you are fast but not very dim are you?
I've just this very minute gone onto the site and they're sold out.
You got the last one

I will console myself with the thought that another bargain is just waiting for me somewhere.

fjallraven gear is great, light, fast drying and easy care, i'm an addict!

£70 for the classic greeland is a great price, and about £20 less than I paid at the Fjällraven discount store in Sweden.
