Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Oh yes! I will. 
Thanks Corso. Didn't know that jacket.
Finding all sorts of little things now ... there's a French air force jacket and a couple of others. I'll be having to start my own shop at this rate if I buy all the ones I fancy
Alex Mills makes this nice olive work jacket. Its 150USD+ so out of the price territory, but thinkable. Trouble is they say the model showing the jacket is 6' 1" and wears an M size. They don't mention that the poor starved lad likely weighs slightly over 100lbs.

Wear your favourite jacket you mentioned just add a waterproof liner underneath for when the weather turns bad. Their used to be a great Dutch goretex liner version many years ago something like that.
Or underneath the already mentioned British army MVP MTP lightweight jacket

This is cheap enough and the company have a very good rep.
I have a pair of their outdoor trousers. They are at the same standard as my fjallraven vidda pros. If the smock is the same as the trousers they are brilliant quality.

Aah no where near Brighton in the UK then :/
Was going to offer you to try the arktis coat on
Corso, thanks again for this suggestion.
I wondered if you had one. I am trying to work out sizing. Sometimes it is listed as a parka - which would suggest it is cut to go over a uniform, a dedicated thermal liner or maybe even an insulated (down or similar) jacket too. Sometimes it is just listed as a jacket or coat - suggesting perhaps just baselayers and a thinner fleece.
Any clues would be warmly wlecomed
Best advice i can offer is from varusteleka...
Size info
First the easy size, then the user's recommended height and chest circumference. These run a tad large to fit clothes underneath, so do not oversize. If you intend to use this as a casual jacket, picking a notch slimmer size than the measurements say would do just fine.
Our model in the main picture has a 96 cm chest, but the jacket worn is Small Regular (171-179 / 84-92 cm) and fits much better.
The Austrian size system is explained in detail on our Austrian jacket size chart page. If you are already familiar with Austrian sizing and want to know how we came up with the easy sizes, below is our logic as a chart. All possible sizes in the chart are not manufactured of course.
