That looks like a great jacket.
I used to swear by Fjallraven clothing and equipment as it was tough, attractive and very practical - if a tad expensive.
Now - from everything I hear - the quality has really fallen off but the prices have skyrocketed!
I have a Vintage 30l rucksack which I love - but I was chatting to someone who had recently bought one who said that theirs was falling apart after hardly any use - mine is many years old and still in fine working order.
In my role as a gear reviewer I requested a sample of the Rucksack 21 (the canvas and leather retro look pack) to review for the magazine I write for, and was refused by the PR company who said it was not up to practical use and was purely "lifestyle" look item! They offered me a Vintage 20l instead... which I turned down.
After PR like that I would not go anywhere near Fjallraven....
