    He has some off the shelf ones that are good to go. Typically $345 for a custom made one

    He can supply a variety of fabrics, waterproof, canvas + a couple of other new ones he was telling me about. Just tell him exactly what you're after

    Got the FL Brooks. Had the Kuiu Super Down too.

    Like the FL one. Layering is the key.

    Blair / wear on Earth is doing canvas, new colors arriving in a few weeks. Also going to do a wool lining rather than down. Should be more waterproof as canvas isn't the best to keep water out.
    May not help the OP as it's not going to be lightweight

    I've got Blair's waterproof puffer and it is a fantastic jacket. Would love it with 900/950FP as a light down jacket but not sure he works with these higher lofts.
