Size L; still own my favorite piece of outerwear–an Invertere-made J. Press overcoat in an olive, rust, and blue tweed.
Best jacket I’ve ever owned…. Woolrich 60/40 Parka or a Baracuta G9. I’d say the Baracuta edges it.
Oh, and I’m a size medium.
Size is a medium and the best jacket ive owned is a stone island shadow project nout out there can beat it for me.
size xxl, best outwear owned is difficult…however for the winter months can’t fault the Penfield Summit.
XXL – showing my age here, but still best jacket to date and one i waished i had kept, but we never kept anything long in days gone by was a reversable ellesse bubble ski coat, taken from Hamburg on a stopover on our way back from Finland 1982.
To be honest, I already have a Mastrum jacket and its probably one of the best so would love another!! Size M please!
Best jacket: MOP (Massimo Osti Production) reversible parka. Black nylon outer and a cracking red check liner! Genius
Large please.
Best outerwear is my Barbour International. Love the fit, the material, the workmanship, and the heritage.
Size large please 😀
Mmm Paul and Shark Typhoon I guess
Oh, im an XXL.
Small. Best piece I’ve ever owned was an Albam FIshermans Cag.
Medium.
Fjall Raven Nordli
Medium
the best one I’ve got is the Ma strum Carbon Coated Field Jacket from Autumn Winter 09.
Large please lads. For me it’s a Barbour Northumbria circa 1987, it used to be my dads but was “given” to me when he grew a bit too round for it, I’ll probably have it till the day I die, a re-wax once a year keeps it looking boxfresh.
size m. best outerwear without a doubt, leather burberry duffle from around ’98. ma.strum lookin’ cool as f**k
XXL (assuming they size up small)
My favourite ever would have to be a green parka with fur hood trim I had as a nipper. Anyone who’s seen the pitch invasion after Ronnie Radford scored for Herefore against Newcastle in the early 70’s will be familier with the one I mean, as just about every kid on the pitch was wearing one.
My favourite jacket of all time was my two piece black toffee wrapper SI jkt.
I bought this from John Anthony on Shaftsbury Ave London around 1993 for the sum of 350 quid.
Undoubtedly, my ‘first ever’ Massimo Osti Production jacket, bought with my first ever student loan cheque studying design in London (from the autumn/winter 1996 magazine ad campaign). A stunning beige 3/4 length, belted ‘almost safari jacket’ with a grey wool asymetrical detacheable interior. I loved it inside and out! and took it everywhere with me! It sparked my love-affair with Osti Production!
What can I say, I only had one bad experience with my Osti purchases… a camel coloured, boiled wool, polo-style jumper with an asysmetrical collar, I understand to be from, the late Maestro’s, last collection. It inadvertantly found it’s way back to my mother’s house where it somehow ended up in her washing machine… ‘8-o! …now, beautifully shrunken… it is only fit for a midget!! ;”'((((
…it ranks up there with my baby sister, finding her was onto a window sill, where she ejected the first ever cassette tape i ever bought ( ‘AHA’ – Hunting High & Low) and merrily did what only a baby could do, she unravelled and sucked it to death… ‘;((((
It has taken a lot for me to unburdon myself of these traumatic events, and i feel now would be a cathartic juncture in my life when old wounds could ‘once-and-for-all’ be healed… mine’s a large, 6′ 2″/44″chest…what ever you think…. i’d well… just be endlessly grateful! <3 <3 <3!!!!!!
Signor Osti vivrà per sempre nei nostri cuori!!!!!!!
Size Large, Best coat ive ever owned was the Paul & Shark Typhoon, theres no warmer jacket out there – FACT!
My best piece of outerwear I’ve ever owned, v tough decision but would probably have to be a Cyan blue 1995 Mera Peak Berghaus. Regarded as a benchmark jacket allowing the casual observer to identify skiiers and moutaineers in mountainous terrrain at over 100 paces. And scally’s like me to identify each other from street corner to street corner on the mean streets of Liverpool… ha ha.
Oh, and my size jacket would be Large.
I would be a medium…
Nailing it down to one coat is tough but I’m gonna go with my Berghaus Trango….matches any shoe/Jeans combo and has been reliable for years.
I’ll be large please. Belstaff trailmaster got it when i was sixteen and i’m in my thirties now and it still roll’s with the best of them still as new or shop soiled anyway..
My size would be small. My best piece of outer wear would be my xlarge snowjob jacket, I’ve had it for years and it still looks great
I’ll be a large please. Belstaff trialmaster coat had it since i was sixteen im late 30’s now it still does the job with the best of them.
Medium
It’s between an Oliver Spencer tweed/waxed cotton Cameraman style jacket, or my 6876 Capandula. But since I don’t know the proper name of the OS one I’ll go with the Capandula.
The best piece of kit i ever owned is a pair of scarpa mont blanc GTX.They are pricey at just over 300 pound.They give excellent performance and haven’t let me down.Comfortable,breathable,lightweight and do exactly what they claim to do ‘be waterproof’.A lot to spend on a great pair of boots but well worth the money.
I have been walking with a group of friends for years and have tried many boots to plough through snowy mountains with,but they performed poorly,my friend recommended these to me and so glad she did.These boots deserve all the ‘hype’ they get,5 stars from me.
I’m a medium. Have so many jackets that it’s impossible to choose. Current fave is my Woolrich woolen mills Upland jacket and a vintage (deadstock) hickory chore coat.
XL please
Alltime favourite must be… um… ah…
*goes off to think for several hours*
… um…. it would have to be… no, wait a sec…
*goes off to think for several hours*
… one of the coats I’ve held dearest would be a pre-1993 yellow Raso coat from Stone Island. (unfortunately it started peeling a couple of years ago, so it has gone the way all raso-coats must eventually go).

Best outerwear? A Left Hand vinyl thing that was bombproof… until it cracked to buggery and was relegated to the cupboard under the stairs. It’s still great for smoking fags in at the back door in winter, and putting the bins out.

Size Large.
Best jacket i ever owned was a Goose Jacket i got from Afflecks purchased on my first ever trip to MCR in 1985.
It was black with white fur around the hood,not dissimilar to the ones worn by the fella`s in Beat Street.
I also got my mum so sew a Public Enemy badge on the back at a later date.
Good times.
