Good evening,

This is my first post and clearly I seem to be in the right place to ask if anyone can help
me find the toque, glasses and jacket that this fella is wearing in this picture.

Suggestions?

For some reason I couldn't figure out how to post the actual picture. It's the picture of the gent wearing the "Deck" jacket, talking to the police officer.

If someone else can figure out how to post the picture please do...

Pardon me for asking, but why would you want to know? He looks like a bum.

Hey, guys, insult the guy right out of the joint on his first visit! You can catch more tasteful dressers with honey than you can with vinegar, right? (Or something.)
So rus, if you like that . . . errr . . . hat . . . , why you just go right ahead and get one.
BTW, rus, WELCOME TO THE LOUNGE. We're a real friendly, welcoming NONJUDGMENTAL bunch around here.

Similar glasses could probably be easily obtained from any mall or motorcycle shop.

I've a hundred caps (sans the pom-pom --> he must be a rebel. Cartman's Dad?), each dedicated for different duties depending on the weather and environment.

Here's a good place for jackets. They already have a bunch of my money:

(eta: In Pennsylvania we call them 'ski caps'. Why would a Canuck be asking where to get one? Aren't you issued one at birth?)

The glasses look like Persols. N1 jacket for sure. I thought it was Jack Nicholson at first glance...

There are lots of N1 deck jackets for sale on eBay of varying quality and at least one Buzz Rickson version (top quality). I'm sure you'd find the other items there too by searching using some of the terms given above - Ray Ban etc.

I knew he was a fellow Canadian as soon as I saw him use "toque", never heard anyone call them a "Bobble cap" before. If it has eye cutouts, it's called a balaclava or just a plain old ski mask.
Looks like so many we had as kids, but I couldn't tell you where to get one now. I'll have a look at the surplus shop down the street next time I'm in there, probably the best place to find one.
