So here goes....
Last week we were in Val Claret for the evening and Mrs RR spotted a jacket she loved in the window of the shop down by the bus stop/turning circle and 'Fast Food' shack.
It was pale blue with a paisley/Ming vase type pattern.
I meant to check the brand cos its our anniversary in a few weeks and I thought I'd pick one up as she loved it so much.
Trouble is a few giraffes/demi's later and I totally forgot to check out the jacket while waiting for the return bus.
On the off chance anyone is in VC and see's this, could you have a peer through the window and let me know?
Big Ta in advance

There must be an obliging either there now or going in the next week or two!! I hope you can get sorted!
There are two or three ski/clobber shops in that vicinity though - so further and better particulars may be needed.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks MA, hope so.
Looking at Google Maps/Earth, it must be right next door to, or even could be 'Ski Republic Rond Point'
Its right on the corner if you got off the free bus, and walked toward the shops.

That would be opposite the Aspen cafe. My wife liked the same jacket.
Sorry, we are back now so can't help.

Good input Bar Shaker, we thought it was Oakley too, but trawled their website and Google but no joy , perhaps last seasons?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

rookierich, I walked past the ski shop windows in that area and there's nothing in the windows that fit your description. The shop on the corner of the bus turning-circle is Twinner and has a lot of OXBOW jackets in the window - might be worth checking their website.

jonno thanks , looking at their website I recognise the shop, the Oxbow Rasert looks right, but I can only find it in white on the web. I'll get in touch with Twinner and see if they can help.

You know it makes sense.

Big thumbs up to Oakley customer service who produced this link.
Unfortunately the only one left in the UK is a size small, all the more reason to go ahead with a return trip in March

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

If they are hard to come by - and you are indeed going back to Tignes - couldn't you ring the shop and buy it now?
