Cheeky Chicken posted a different comp from this site (Design a T Shirt) , but I searched did not find this Anorak comp being on here before - hope I am not mistaken





EDIT Unless it is this one, in Game Over, seems to have been withdrawn due to issues with fur on the parka ? http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=6730043&highlight=parka#post6730043
Back in 1830 John Rich opened a wool mill in Plum Run, in Pennsylvania. After 15 years, he moved to a nearby town which today is known as Woolrich. John Rich specialised in creating clothes for workers including railway workers (for whom he developed special pockets for watches) and woodsmen (for whom he added extra large pockets to carry tools).
We've got two Woolrich parkas up for grabs - these are actually limited stock and not available in the UK.
The men's version is a size Large and retails for £299
The women's is a size Medium and retails at £325
To win one just enter below. The winner will be chosen at random and the closing date is 12noon Friday 30 November.

    I moved to Game Over as Cheeky asked for it to be deleted, but it still gave people the option to enter


    From this description from the Woolrich site, they do use real fur


    Cotton/polyester/nylon canvas
    <!-- CARE -->Dry clean
    <!-- 1 -->HydroGuard coating
    <!-- 2 -->540 duck down insulation
    <!-- 3 -->Removable coyote fur hood trim
    <!-- 4 -->Dual-entry patch pockets
    <!-- 5 -->Left-sleeve security pocket
    <!-- 6 -->Drawcord hood and waist
    <!-- 7 -->Inside knit cuffs
    <!-- 8 -->Internal pockets for cell phone and CD player with headphone channeling <!-- end -->
  • No way to tell if it real or fake, unless we can google up the specific garment models. Although I have to say the first one I found outside the comp site had "coyote fur trim" EDIT Kipper I was simulposting with you found the same bit as you did!
    Don't want to offend anyone but I guess down to one's own beliefs.
    Mods if you think this is contentious by all means move to Game Over or delete

    well this one is a bit contentious I suppose, as Woolrich sell items with Faux Fur and Real Fur and there is no confirmation as to whether the prize has real fur, maybe you can amend your title to say about the fur Suez and let people decide for themselves :)


    I can always delete or move it later if people aren't happy :)

    Thanks for posting but real fur on the prize or not, the company use real fur & I'll give it a miss on that basis. :)
