I like the look of the Swedish snow smock but having trouble finding one, I know a few people with the Titan and they really rate them.

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
The Titan is twice the price but still cheap, well made, brand new and a different design so really you can't compare the two.
Mean and Green only has them in massive sizes. By the time you've added in delivery, dye (£5+) and washing machine costs (need a couple of runs plus salt etc.) there isn't that much in it. Using natural dyes like tea or oak bark would lower the cost but as I found out from doing my blanket, it takes a long time & that ain't free!
Each to there own, I still prefer my Titan design. Sadly, however, they've told me they're not prepared to make them in green

na marra 46 is too small for me, i bought the 62 inch one from fact surplus last year and it fits belter over my winter getup of thermal top micro fleece and mob wool jumper with lots of room to move and breath ! p.s is that pg tips or any old tea ?

I used Tesco Value teabags, about 160 of them (2 packets). I've got a stainless barrel with a big kerosene stove underneath so I can heat it properly for hours. I did a thread on it a while ago
Mean and green dont have the 46 in stock only the 50 thats a bit too big for me is there any other places selling these, my google fu is not strong.
try - genuinearmysurplus.co.uk they have small medium large and extra large and the style is more in keeping with the titan smock, £14.99

I can't believe people think these come up large. They are DESIGNED for a particular chest size wearing Arctic clothing as an outer jacket. Guess what? a 46 will come up a LOT bigger than a 46 you buy in Primark
if you search this site for snow smocks there are a few threads about them and how to mod them, also i think a few of the lads were discusing sizing too !
I know they are designed to be worn over arctic layers I just was not sure about how much allowance was made for the under clothing, going to check for sizing now. Thanks.I can't believe people think these come up large. They are DESIGNED for a particular chest size wearing Arctic clothing as an outer jacket.

OK I took a look back through some of the threads I could find about the swedish snow smocks snd the sizing seems to be a little off. Are they pre shrunk or will they shrink on a hot wash?
