Sportsman's Guide has a surplus Swede winter coat, WX2 66371 XL,  that is good for maybe 6'5" and 300lbs.  It 's sort of a heavy, boot top, OD trench coat with a heavy, button-in, fleece liner. Two 150-pounders could wear it at the same time. I shot a hose on mine and inside remained dry, so it's at least shower-proof.  Mine is near new and really heavy-duty, even the pockets are about 11" square(10- 30 rd mags?). Even has a bra strap for wearing like a cape a la Erwin Rommel. Club price was $13.97.  I'm putting a US-GI-OD wolf fur hood on mine!

COTTON KILLS!!!!

It's heavy when wet, soaks through in no time, doesn't dry easily and saps your body heat from sweat or external wetting.

With all of today's modern fabrics designed for ultimate survival, why would anyone return to decades old technology for winter warmth, unless its wool?

They may look cool but Goretex, Polar Fleece, Wool, Thinsulate, ect are all far better choices for function.

Just ordered two, one for me and the wife. A warm field jacket with liner doesnt come allong everyday for less than 14 dollars plus shipping. I have a new USGI field jacket with liner the wife was impressed with last winter.

I just ordered 2 also.Both for myself.I plan on using them for
chore type stuff,not polar expedition.
Maybe throw the second one in my truck as a backup in case I
get caught at work without a coat or a loaner.

Thanks berdan, for the heads-up

Just ordered one XL and one L, both showed to be in stock.

What the hell, for $15 it'll make a great barn-coat this winter.
