Default Cab Coats - I can wear what I want now that Blackwell...

I noticed an ad for these in Christophorous. Heinz Bauer "original cabrio jackets" (pg. 93 of latest)....

http://www.heinzbauer.com/index.php?...22&clang=0&nr=

I've been looking for a new fall/winter weight jacket and these caught my eye. The "integrated windstop" seems like a cool (meaning warm) idea - I'm not sure how it works, but I imagine it can be retracted or deployed when needed.

Anyone familiar with these? The website has minimal information in English.

A Grand US for a jacket? That's a lot of Euro's. I wear a $15 walmart wind breaker.

Most North Americanos aren't ready for European fashions. Just get something with some fur.

Yeah, that's a great idea! I'd love to be accused of being so well dressed.

I can be a clothes horse, no doubt. Nothing nicer than a well made jacket!

Actually, I'm partial to the "Imola Ziegennappa forato" in cognac, it's quoted at 1298 euros.

Yeah, $100 grand US for a car? I also drive a $15k Ford Focus.

I hear ya, somethings you can't... ah, you know the rest.
