If you are heading somewhere really really cold, buy over there: they will be coming into their winter nowish and will stock suitable jackets, clothes & pants.

Australian stuff on the whole isn't really cut out for anything below 0 degrees celsius.

And really really hard things, like diamond, or Sarah Jessica Parker's face.

There is a coat shop on Rathdowne & Princes St in North Carlton called Picadilly Circus, where you'll be able to find a really good woollen coat. Otherwise I recommend buying stuff when you're there. Surviving a European winter is just like a Melbourne winter, it's all about layers!

Yes buy it when you're there! But its not about layers, all the buildings are farking hot, so you wanna big thick jacket that you can take off when you go in a building, not heaps of layers that take ages to put on every time you go outdoors.

yeah, it's all still pretty cheap over here at the moment. kathmandu have a jacket called geneva that's just brilliant though, very very thin goretex (so it doesn't warm you up), but completely breaks rain and wind. also, get some icebreaker thermals (from nz), they are the best.

but even on sale in aus, stuff's still mad expensive. i wouldn't worry too much though; even right up here in arctica, it's 2C at the moment. it's got down to about -13 within the past fortnight, but over all i don't think it'll be _too_ cold. february is the coldest, that's when the -25 bizness starts.
