Have never found a long-sleeved one that doesn't feel massively bulky / ruck up around the elbows.
That's useful. Cheers.
TBH at thst price I think I may just grab a matching Barbour one.
I used to have a padded Hoggs waxed jacket off the back of a recommendation here. That I got for something like £12 off ebay. Was very impressed.

The Hoggs stuff used to be "farmer prices" i.e. quite reasonable but over time they figured out that it was much more lucrative to become a lifestyle brand.
If you live near an agri supply shop you could probably get something similar for cheaper

I have one of these things. It's very warm but looks a bit Jeremy Clarkson, particularly if you get the version with the shotgun patches on the shoulders

Have never found a long-sleeved one that doesn't feel massively bulky / ruck up around the elbows. Thick jumper or fleece is the answer.
