So happy with the jacket, very stylish but has all the attributes one would expect for a serious, technical Artic parka jacket. The fit is perfect and would have no issues recommomending this "high-end" jacket. One disappointment was nothing to do with the actual jacket itself, but at the price point I would have expected a branded hanger to keep this heavy jacket in shape and why not a breathable storage bag for when the winter is over? THis is a premium jacket, with a premium price - treat it as such!!

How did you come across Shackleton? Long time ago, can't remember, sorry
For the money, I'd expect excellent tailoring, but it is poor. As was the one this coat replaced. A real shame given how impressed I was a few years back when I bought my last coat from you. The velcro tabs are pulling away, the zips don't work properly, the sleeves are folded correctly at the ends. When it's actually cold enough to really appreciate the coat, without being able to close the zip,. it's not all that great.

Visited the London store and service was fantastic, the guys really knew their stuff! Helped with sizing and choice, leading to the Haakon parka. This jacket is warm, stylish and a joy to wear. Cheers, Niall

How did you come across Shackleton? Search Shackleton explorer then saw a review by t3 so I looked it up. Pleased that I did.
I recently purchased this beautiful parka. The material is soft, it’s very comfortable and well built and strong. Surprise it light. It really looks nice and trendy so I am happy. A lot of thinking and passion appears to have gone is making this parka. Thanks!
