Just thought i would share this, as i don't think it has been ID'd before.
Recently, whilst investigating the CR Venice Polo options, i realised that i recognised the dark waterproof parka that DC is wearing with Eva in the Venice photoshoot... i used to have one!
It is The North Face Venture Jacket, (made in Hyvent ), and the colour from memory was described as Ink. I have attached a picture of the photoshoot, and the zip pull detail is clearly a TNF, (also added a picture of the same zip pull on another of my TNF jackets).
They still make the Venture Jacket, actually one of their cheapest, but the old ones (i had mine in 2005 onward) had a darker colour waterproof lining on the inside, they are now a light grey or white, and used to be dark grey. This was to make them look like the more expensive Goretex Paclite material.
The final picture shows a model wearing one which is about 2 sizes too large - i think this was an older one, but can't confirm due to not seeing the inside - the older ones also had colour matching embroidery, so the logo was hard to see. Ive been trawling ebay to try and find a vintage one, but no success.

I was in highschool in 2006 but my god I remember those jackets were common as hell back then. Worked in all weather situations except the dead of a Canadian winter.
Not sure we've seen them so clearly before.
Anyone ever identify the pants he's wearing?
