Advice wanted on Jacket

[trimix]

I want to buy a stalking jacket and I am keen to see the item and try it on before i buy.

I have been looking at the Hakila prohunter jacket and wonder if anyone knows a shop in the south East that actually stocks this make. All I can find is internet suppliers. Any advice on other jackets very welcome also!

where abouts in the South East and how far would you be willing to travel to see it ? i know a shop in Dunmow Essex called Jacks that did have these in Stock a while ago

Hi Daniel
Thanks for the reply, I live in Sutton (South London) near junction 8 on the M25.
Dunmow would be a bit of a trek I think.
All London shops I can find dont stock Hakila for some reason...plenty of Aigle,Fjallraven etc.

Thomas Turners in Reading were selling them, not sure if they still are?

Can recommend deer hunter jackets. Always waterproof - in my experience and warm too.

It might have been less helpful, I've just checked their website and they don't appear to stock them any more......I got my Pro hunter trousers through them at a bargain price about a year ago hence the suggestion. Sorry, if I think of anywhere else I'll shout.

If we all buy the cheapest off the net this will be more common !

Are you going to try on the shops coats then buy off the net ?

Support your local gunshop or lose it !!!

splash i know where your coming from,

but there is a recession, but the shops don't seem to think so,

eg: £270 for 1,000 17hmr local gun shop. they all have masks and have black powder pistols and a horse called Bess.

if i could buy it of the inter net cheaper and legally then i would,

I always buy what's on offer when I need it,I wouldn't pay a ridiculous amount of money on one just to rip it on barbed wire,I did that to a new pair on deer hunter trousers on first outing once

I'm not for giveing my money away either. But expect to pay slightly more for local service.
I do agree some shops derserve to go !!
