mudpatten Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Saw this jacket advertised in the Deben catalogue and it looks reasonable value for money at around £110. I tried using the PW search engine and all that came up was a substantial number of these jackets for sale second hand suggesting that there are issues with them. Any body got one, had one or care to share their experience of this jacket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi, I had to check to make sure what it was! Yep, I have one, had it for years. Worn it twice to walk the dog! It is very warm - too warm to wear thrashing about in the daytime down here in Devon but mine is a quilted lining, don't know about the current ones. They are a generious cut and well put together with a wide drip strip. The only reason that I've not worn it as I aquired a cracking tweed coat which is silent, unlike the Deben, which I use at night for fox/rabbit when necessary. I would suggest that this is an ideal 'fowler's coat, especially with the built in "seat" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Many thanks for those observations. Now I`m wondering if the fact that you seem to be the only person who has one is of any relevence! Oh well, I`ll just have to send off for one and find out for myself. Thanks again.

poontang Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I bought one about 18 months ago and it's seen a fair bit of wear. Very warm, comfortable and does everything it should. As wymberley says they are a generous cut and well put together. I use mine for pigeon shooting as I already have a jacket for 'fowling, although I'm sure it would be fine on the marsh. I bought mine for £30 brand spanking new, as the shop were having a sale!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Bought one but, sorry to say,their largest size was a trifle too small so I`ve had to return it. I should like to say though that the service I got from Deben was exemplary.Prompt delivery, a quick refund and all with the utmost courtesy.
