JACKA KEBNE

👌

I bought this jacket because I always get cold during Winter in the mid-Atlantic. The fit and finish are excellent and I highly recommend you consider purchasing your next jacket from Micklagård.

After a record cold winter here in Fairbanks, AK I can't believe I'm gonna say this. I need it cold again. The jacket got to me just as we are relieved by above freezing temperatures(32°F). I will have to wait till next season to give it a thorough run through to use it to it's full potential. The fit is perfect at an XL for a 5'9" 215lbs. American. Room for layering with a Heimat (look'em up) sweater. So much form and function in the design of the garment you'll forget you're actually supposed to use it for stuff. Pockets are great and a good amount. Zipper is on the opposite side of what Americans are used to so understand that. The hood is large enough for layers too. Did I mention you're gonna have to wait for your order? Price, huh price. Well, it's not inexpensive or cheap(there is difference). But this doesn't fall under either definition. Rightly so, because this is a premium product made with soul and love. Of which deserves fair compensation for what you receive. Be also aware that you will attract looks of envy from those who've spent their hard earned money on overpriced/underperforming mass produced outdoor products from other popular "name brand" companies. But I guess if their goal is more for "status" than quality then so be it. More for us that recognize and need a well made product that can be considered a coveted heirloom for further generations.

I wore my Abisko anorak (over a double layer of Aclima doublewool and a Devold Nansen sweater) at -47 (plus wind-chill) in Alaska recently and was comfortable whilst walking and doing moderate exercise.

I haven't tried my new Kebne yet, as I'm back home, but first impressions suggest I'll be OK at rest in similar weather with this and the same layers.

The same size feels more snug (due to the insulation) but comfortably allows the same layers underneath, although I suspect it will need to be "seriously extreme" to ever need more than a single base layer.

Immaculate work as always and since my Abisko and Hamra pants remain like new after years of hard use, I expect this (and my second pair of Hamra pros) will become a family heirloom!

Cloak, hat and mitts as soon as I can persuade the bank manager into allowing me to order them!

The coat and mittens are both made of the highest quality materials, by someone who is a true craftsman with an eye for perfection. Jan provided me with excellent customer service, and he and has made a coat that will keep me warm (and in style) on the coldest days of winter, most likely for the rest of my life. This is the best coat I have ever owned.
