Probably the pockets. I prefer the old Woolrich and (forgot the name), although the above may be more waterproof. Also I prefer them with a lining. (In fact I had a similar one to the above by Woolrich from back in the day that I ended up getting rid of - Chief Brody is now giving it a good home.)

I thought for a second that your title read "antizyklonisches Einkaufen"... not a bad jacket!

The meteorological term Antizyklon somehow rang a bell in conjunction with your article (and buying rain wear in summer), at least in my sleepy mind. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochdruckgebiet

The Kasson is the lined 60/40 parka.
The Vasson is the unlined version, in a 65/35 fabric.

There is a Kasson II in their archives made in small batch 'Hudson Wax Cloth',
it's usually made as a limited edition tie-in with another brand or store (mine is an olive 60/40 with contrasting Harris tweed pockets- made for a Japanese department store, found in tk max Ealing for £40)

That Gibson looks alright, but the white buttons are a bit of a turn off.

If I ever going to dislike the buttons... Well, easy change.

As far as I understand, this is also the Hudson wax cloth? Seems pretty durable...

I've got a Danville that has been heavily worn over the last 4 winters and I'm impressed how well it's lasted. Because the Kasson is thinner than the Danville and as a result, better for layering so I'd consider it when the time comes to replace the Danville.

Glad to hear it. It didn't look masculine on me which is why I had to get rid (although in retrospect perhaps I shouldn't have worn it over a dress).

I have a Penfield 60/40 body warmer that I love. Got it Urban Outfitters...always worth a recce every now and then.
