On cold winter days, there is nothing more comfortable and warmer than a luxurious designer down jacket for men. Since ancient times, the unique heat insulation of the soft feathers has been used for bedding and clothing. Winter jackets filled with down keep body heat in an incomparable way, thanks to the special properties of the fluffy feathers: lighter and softer than a feather, the fluffy down forms air pockets within its three-dimensional structure, keeping warmth and maintaining breathability. They are exceptionally elastic and always return to their original shape.

Down jackets from various designers for men: the perfect companion for winter

For the luxurious down winter jackets from our carefully selected designers, high-quality fabrics such as wool, linen, and functional microfibre have been lined with the naturally insulating feathers. The range of our BRAUN Hamburg online shop includes down jackets in trendy styles to suit every taste. A down quilted jacket offers plenty of freedom of movement for any outdoor activity while protecting against wind and weather. Warmly lined, classic down winter coats ensure an elegant appearance even in the depths of winter. Modern down parkas with stylish, partially detachable hoods are a great addition to any winter wardrobe and can be worn with almost any outfit.

What makes designer down jackets for men so special?

They all share the cuddly soft and feather-light characteristics of heat-insulating fluffy down and protect against cold, snow, and wind, making good brand down jackets for men perfect companions in icy temperatures. But even in the cool breeze of the transitional season, lightly padded quilted vests or cardigans with a light down filling serve as warming essentials. The typical quilting ensures an even distribution of the down.

How do you clean a designer down jacket for men?

Did you know that tennis balls can also help maintain the optimal heat insulation of the down? If your men's designer down jacket is suitable for the dryer, add one or two clean tennis balls to the drum of the dryer. They ensure that the soft down can unfold and distribute optimally after washing. This way, you can enjoy your feather-light designer men's jacket with down for a long time.

What should you look for when buying a down jacket?

1. Filling material and fill power

Natural down or synthetic fibres: Down offers exceptional thermal insulation at a low weight, making for an ultra-light men’s down jacket. Goose down is especially lightweight and insulating, while synthetic fillings tend to be heavier but offer better water resistance.

Fill power: Fill power indicates the volume that one ounce of down occupies. High-quality down jackets typically range from 600 to 850 cubic inches per ounce – the higher the number, the better the insulation-to-weight ratio.

2. Material, functionality & quality

Outer fabric: Designer men’s down jackets are often distinguished by their high-end, luxurious materials. Wool, virgin wool, suede or cutting-edge microfibres provide warmth, comfort and protection in all weather conditions.

Construction: Pay attention to the craftsmanship of a designer down jacket. Quality is key. Look for premium down filling, neatly finished seams, water- and wind-resistant coatings (so the jacket can double as a raincoat if needed), an adjustable hood and ample pockets. Breathable properties are also a major advantage.

Certified down: Choose jackets with down sourced responsibly – for example, those certified with the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) – to support animal welfare and sustainability.

3. Fit & colour

Cut: The jacket should fit closely enough to retain warmth, yet still allow freedom of movement and space for layering.

Length: A shorter jacket conveys a sportier look and is practical for everyday wear. Longer styles offer added protection, retain more warmth and are often suitable for more formal occasions.

Colour choice: Muted tones like black, navy or grey are timeless classics and easy to pair with almost any outfit.

• If you have chosen a trendy colour like neon green, the intense hue can be balanced with a hat in understated black or navy.
