OK to cut long story short I am probably going to end up standing around outdoors for long periods of time irrespective of the weather this winter. I have also recently put on weight so a lot of my outdoor coats don't fit.
This is for work so olive etc OK but DPM camo not really suitable.
I was thinking of going for long stock-mans coat - as in really wet weather this with pair of wellingtons get round the short coat dumping onto trousers problem. I don't get on with over-trousers and any way am struggling to find any that will fit.
I am around 52" chest even before thick fleece, shirt etc.
From web (local stockists rubbish) Driazabone original stockmans is big enough, not sure about Barbour. Tried a cheap and cheerful in Skipton market but the largest size XXL would only go on over shirt but not fleece
Quick question - anyone have any feedback on either the Barbour or Driazabone? I think I remember something somewhere to the effect that the Driazabone proofing was not up to much - but I may have imagined it.
Given these are not cheap would really value any feedback
thanks
