[Official] Nobis thread

I returned it today, but you can sort of see that it looks "wrong" in the description pics. Check this out: http://www.stylepit.co.uk/guy/clothes/j ... t_218424_4
It felt like the people doing the filling just up and quit halfway.

Did you purchase it in a store? Did all the jackets feel the same? You didn't happen to take comparison pics between your Yatesy and Shelby, did you?

I purchased it from the linked store. It matches the pictures linked. I thought it was just bad photos or something.
Sorry, no comparison photos, just unpacked it at work, tried it on, and then stuffed it in the box and sent it back.

There is also less air flow and air flow makes the jacket less puffy = slimmer, due to the quilted down bags.

This is a good explanation for it, but the jacket was light as well. From where I'm standing, it seems like someone up the nobis chain argued "premium sourced down is expensive, let's use less of it". Which is funny, since we're dealing with thousand dollar jackets. I doubt Moncler would do the same thing.

It's a shame if I'll have to get an extreme-rated CG this year like some grandma.

Does anyone with a feather allergy own any of these? I need to change my hotel pillows so I'm assuming I'd be allergic to a down parka but I'm also tired of being cold!

No personal experience but I know they use hypo-allergenic treated down, which apparently is ok for you. Always check yourself though. I was in Columbia yesterday and they have a new line of jackets that use a down alternative that they claim is just as warm as down. Check it out.

Just heard back from the reseller, apparently all the 2013/2014 season models were "slimmed down" from previous seasons.

which one of you with a nobis started chatting to me at longos in aurora at the check out line last week? lol

Hey guys, I'm interested in picking up either a cartel or yatesy in xs (brand new). What store would be my best option? It would be nice if I could avoid paying the full retail price.

Jimboski or ghostfacechilla

Was he a Toronto pick up artist trying to chat you up?

Hello everybody.

I havent read the whole thread, but in the last few days I read through the "NOBIS Barry the 3rd - Ultimate Winter Coat".

Im living in Norway and as we speak Nobis barry jackets on sale with 40% off.

Few questions about this model, is it same as "Nobis - The Barry?"

And I saw a pic with size chart.[IMG]https://www.google.no/search?q=nobis+si ... B790%3B609[/IMG]

My measures:
Height: 177cm/ 5'10"
Waist: 84cm/ 33 inches
Chest: 102 cm / 40 inches

Would the M suits me better than the L?

Appreciate all answers that helps

According to the Nobis Size Chart: Your waist says medium, and your chest says large. I wore the Barry and it is a relaxed fit. I would go with the Medium. Be careful of that price, is it from a website? Let me guess, the site shows all jackets at 40% off right? That is one of the fake sites out that just take your money.

Yes, from a website. Only Cartel and Barry are 40% off. Its a "christmas offer" as they call it, lol. Heres the website: http://stayhard.no/nobis?sort=news

Guess I need to try the M and L sizes again at store.

Medium, or even small. A buddy of mine is 6 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds, he easily fits into a size M

The problem is you're looking at a brand aimed for fashion. If you're looking for something functional then look at other brands.

These type of jackets don't breath well. Leaves you soaked in sweat.

I'd agree with you fully if my 2011 yatesy wasn't a functional jacket that actually matched the pictures on the nobis website. I don't think I'm to blame for expecting more of the same when buying a 2013 model.
If CG suddenly started filling their expedition coats with chateau levels of filling (i.e, way less down) people would drop the brand like a kebab covered in genital warts.
