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.

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.
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

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.

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?
