Fishtail parkas
I have a lightweight fall jacket that I'm looking at replacing. I like the look of a fishtail parka, and I like the idea of being able to add/remove the liner as well. Right now my options seem to be:
- Vintage: Obviously lots of these on eBay, although they don't always have the liner, and trying to parse through the listings gives me a headache (but if people think these are better than new I'm happy to keep plugging away)
- Bronson: Like the look of the 1951, but it seems like their liners are out of stock (and from what I gather it's kind of a crapshoot when they'd restock?)
- Alpha: Not as wild about these for some reason I can't articulate. Seems like their liners are pretty much out of stock as well.
Things I ruled out:
- Frizmworks: Wanted to like this, but I got one off eBay and their largest size was a little small for me (I'm a big guy - probably around an L/XL in the Bronson)
Is there anything I'm not thinking of here or does anyone have any recommendations? Tried to do some searching in the old reddit archives but most of the threads I'm finding are 10+ years old. I'd say budget for this is probably like $250 and under? (if the liner isn't included I'd grit my teeth and go higher)
