TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Since we are approaching warmer months are upon us (well, not today) I am looking to buy a new jacket. My current jacket of ~ 6 years is ready to die, as only 1 out of the 4 pockets still work. It is sort of a suit jacket type of thing, but not as dressy and I am looking for something quite similar. I've had a look around Aberdeen and so far all I have seen are jackets that would either make me look like a young Jeremy Clarkson or an extra out of Nathan Barley. Any suggestions for where I could look in Aberdeen, or online? Sorry I've not given the best description in the world as to what I want!

Diesel Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I don't have a jacket. As Phil Collins says:A photo of Phil Collins - how dare you! I've just had my lunch. God, I feel sick!Jan - what kind of budget are we talking here - Harrods or Heart Foundation?Slaters, Debs, Markies, Next are the usual suspects, but if you want something else, there's USC, The Attic and those kind of places.

I have tried Debenhams, Marks and Spencer, Topman, Next and a couple of other places, but I quickly lose interest and want to go spend money in Fopp instead. I was going to have a look in the charity shops on George Street, but I was hacked at the time I had spent looking in clothes shops. Yr new shop choices have been noted however.

In comparison a light jacket can be slipped off with ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's your cardigan collection looking, gramps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar Graham Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 My work - Kafka on Rosemount Viaduct has got lots of spring/summer, thinner jackets in just now with more arriving next week. Come in and have a look at the J. Lindeberg and Diesel ones. There are a couple of nice Y-3 ones as well at the higher end of the budget.

How's your cardigan collection looking, gramps? It looks svelte but smells terrible because i wear it too much and don't wash it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me and Parvati Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 What about a nice corduroy bomber jacket from Robert Rae?A dinner jacket if you're hungry, a morning coat; you can have the afternoon off - thanks to S.

Red Neck Man Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I need to locate a 'skinny' leather jacket, where can I purchase one of these? I'm talking maybe 3 quarter length and not too 'padded', if you get me!Where, where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Pel Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I haven't seen any guys skinny leather jackets in a long time. Actually, has anyone seen any girls ones? I rather fancy one.There's heaps kicking about; all Oasis/Topshop etc have them. I got one about 6 months ago in Primark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
