I recently moved and had to do it quickly as the journey was long and the Muflon Randy hoodie got left behind and by the time I returned it was gone. I was so happy when I got it at a discount from Alpinetrek but because we left the European union nothing like that can be bought anymore.

I have only had this for a few weeks and TBH, the weather has been pretty warm. However, I totally love this jacket and am even looking forward to some cooler weather to test it out.
I am very concerned about the havoc that we are wreaking on the environment, and really want to support companies which are thinking carefully about their impact. I have also been thinking about wool - which is a superb material for humans to use to keep warm. It's really difficult to find garments which are not based on plastic/synthetic fibres in some way. Even companies calling themselves 'sustainable' still sell oil-based products, the fibres of which find their way into the sea, into fish, animals and into our bloodstream. So, after hours of looking, it was a pleasure to find Mufflon. Mufflon have been thinking about this stuff for a long time and have excellent credentials for sustainability - not just fake 'we are recycling the plastic stuff that pollutes the seas'. Mufflon also have thought about how their clothes feel, last and protect and not least - look great.
So, this is warm, really warm. It's quite heavy if you compare it to unsustainable alternatives, but in a reassuring way. I haven't tried it in the rain, but I think it would take a while for me to get wet. It's also quite soft - not like loden clothing. The cut is fantastic and it really fits me well - follow the fitting guide and you will be fine. Basically, I want more Mufflon in my life!

W300 fabric is thicker than Filson 24 oz Mackinaw wool cruiser jacket and costs twice less.
I wear the jacket every day, and it proves to be incredibly reliable. I would be delighted to purchase pants made from the same material!
However, there is one drawback - when I roll up the sleeves, the back seam tends to catch on the open zipper, leading to thread damage.
