If you're looking for a winter coat you can really rely on, Woolrich's Arctic parka is just the ticket. Don't just take this word for it - the design was originally conceived in 1972 for workers on the Alaskan pipeline, and is filled with insulating down and trimmed with fur for optimum cold-weather protection. There's a handful of pockets and other practical features as well, which explains why it's become such an essential over the years.
