Jeez, you LARPers have fallen into self-parody.

seems pretty sensible and utilitarian
how much do they weigh though?
I have a really nice, and expensive, double layer heavy wool jacket (Filson Double Mackinaw)
its pretty awesome but it weighs alot compared to modern alternatives

I'm serious. That's not Larping clothing. Bavarian hunters have been wearing this for ages.

how is turning a woolen blanket cloak into a proprietary design, utilitarian? youve now lost all the utility of a wool blanket, for subtle gains on coverage

i definitely wouldnt object to owning one, but its not something id put on a want-list

If you buy this outside of Europe make sure they are not charging you 19% VAT. You should be looking at about $367 USD.

They're cool but I don't think the value outweighs the cost, for me, I'm a poorfag. Some other options to consider would be a Swanndri bush shirt from NZ, which are typically a good bit cheaper if you get them from a retailer and not their website.

You could go on German eBay and look for a coat made from loden.

I think these are worthwhile outerwear. They are good for keeping you dry, warm and even clean. I have never worn one, but they were popular in past centuries for a reason.

They seem like they'd get caught on absolutely everything. Maybe they're okay for fairly open woods but they'd be useless in anything thicker.

If I was spending that much money I'd probably pick up a decent mid layer fleece and one of Swazi's hunting jackets instead. My father only just replaced his old Goretex Swazi last year because it started leaking a bit, and he used and abused it for 10-15 years.

i have never seen a hunter wear something this LARPy at least not in southwest bavaria between memmingen and the alps.

>405,00 € + 7€ porto

heh

I think I'd even find such a long coat catching on my knees if I was walking at my normal pace or going uphill.

>LARP
These are traditional hunting clothes (but some of the people wearing them today are wearing them to LARP a traditional hunter for sure).
>Blanket
These are not blanket wool, but very densely woven and felted. They also don't snag much because of that.
>Cost
These here are costly even by german standards, but the old fudds have the money. You could probably make one for some 50 € in china, but... yeah.
>Use
It's short term rain protection and a sitting blanket. The wool doesn't make noise, which can be important for hunting. It's not hiking gear. Hunters are still arguing how useful they are, but they probably have their reasons for it.
