SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - original(ish) sow'ester

hi hunters

does anyone know where to get an original(ish) sow'ester, like the ones the u-boat crews wear in sh3. those dark oily canvasses.
thing is, i work outside manually all day and get wet alot.
i have hats and things that go on my head, but to cap it all - a sow'ester in the style of... would be great. it would also wind my friend up who thinks i cant get one.
but me, secretly knows, he would love to get one first; closet u-boatist that he is, and out-do me.

i got one off e-bay some months ago from Finland but it is flimsy and thin and a tad on the small side, as my friend likes to remind me i look like Richard Head ( the shape is similar, i agree, but he likes to rub it in ( no pun intended ) .)

i must foil this terrible playground bullying and cat 'o' calling and secure sensible foul weather protection for my pate.

also, i want to look like real seaman
do.

any ideas greatly recieved.
