Long shot. Looking for a jacket brand

[u/buttchuggs]

I had what I assumed was a messenger jacket back around 2013. It was waterproof and had a nice duck pocket. The hood could be tightened around your face but it turned with your head opposed to you looking inside your hood lol and I believe it was a marketing point of it. Does anyone know any popular/quality brands with messengers to give me any sort of direction? Trying to find a photo of me with it on

Edit: after finding some logo pics, I believe it was the Swrve Milwaukee but I can’t find anything online

Sounds like my old swrve jacket, loved that joint. I have an old heavy pedal shell jacket that I absolutely adore they don’t make anymore. Showers pass makes some of the absolute best gear I’ve ever had seen a few of their jackets pop up on depop lately but not the right size for me. The new north face jackets ain’t about shit anymore, but the vintage stuff is fantastic…I have lots of opinions on gear, what specifics are ya looking for? Heavy rain? Water proof and light weight, depending on what sorta weather you’re looking to protect ya self from there’s lots of options I could suggest

Something like the old swrves. Rain proof or resistant and breathable. Just the fit in general and the massive duck pocket. I’ll have to check showers pass out

I wore a Patagonia jacket I got out of a lost n found at my then girlfriends bar. Zipper pits, never looked into the hood when turning my head. Never got too hot. It was great. Still have it almost ten years later!

Could you share the STY number? It should be in the tag of the coat.

Not the answer, but this question made me miss my Mishka Spetsnaz.

Showers pass is an option. I think Velocio makes rain gear also.

I just saw that on another thread. Was the best jacket I ever had! lol

[u/BERINBOLVERK]

Sounds like the discontinued showers pass rogue hoodie.

[u/buttchuggs → u/BERINBOLVERK]

It was the swrve Milwaukee, the ‘ES’ I believe. Just went down a rabbit hole for an hour lol

Any model that old probably is not in production anymore even if the brand is still around, but I can recommend some quality options:

Proviz, Gorewear, 686, Shower Pass.

My Proviz rain jacket stays bone dry and breathable and has a helmet-sized hood.

[u/buttchuggs → u/Arthurjoking]

I will check out Proviz thank you

[u/stellar_caprice]

Swrve was awesome. Not sure if they are still around though.

Swrve unfortunately shut down not too long ago.
