Did you spot me on the kop

I saw some fella in the cremorne before the game in just shorts and a shirt

Yesterday was freezing but thanks to RAB I was suitably warm and toasty. This was further aided by spiced rum

Recently returned from the Caribbean with a few bottles of the best

The former, but not a farmer style

I've got a Belstaff, and it's still going strong after a decade. Only problem is it's not very warm.

Nice, mine isn’t a thick coat so struggled a bit towards the end of the game…layering up is the way forward

For the cold days, got a North Face McMurdo parka. Was good in Siberia down to minus 30c and below, problem with it is that it's almost too warm (except on very cold days when you're not moving much)!

It’s a fine balance!

Why do people wear those coats with the goggles built into the hood? They look fucking stupid, I've never seen anyone with the hood up and utilising the stupid goggles yet.

Almost bought myself a black Canada Goose parka in London.

It felt nice on and looked the business, it had very little branding on it too (I know they've attracted slightly chavvier purchases in recent years).
Last minute, I baulked at the price. I decided to at least shop around and see if I could get one for less first. I've no problem paying for something that is going to last for years, but at that price it still just felt a bit too daft.

CP Company is the brand. My lad has one. Goggles remain unused

I bought myself one for crimbo. Very happy with it so far. That said, I’ve never had a proper winter coat that didn’t need layers underneath, so it might be bang average.

If you’re in Blackpool and see a 15yo in a black CP coat, googles unused, and a mid-forties man in a dark grey Canada Goose coat looking a bit too warm but unable to unzip his coat as he has refused to wear layers, say hi.

I got a load of north face proper winter gear for when I worked in Kazakhstan, like you say good for -30

Temperature has never been low enough here in uk to need it so I got rid

I find my 16yr old North Face summit series Heat seeker. To be the perfect 5 to -5 coat.

Had coffee and rum before but wasn’t a fan. How is it?

Epic, its such an easy smooth drink.
Found it at a food fair, just walking round trying stuff, 4 of us bought a bottle there and then, went back to carry the day on with a bbq, by the end of the night, all 4 bottles were gone!, even the other halves were drinking it!!

So, it's conclusive:
