Winter Jackets

A good winter jacket brings together style and protection from the cold. When the days draw in, one thing matters above all: your jacket needs to look sharp and work hard at the same time. Today's luxury designers and premium brands offer a vast range of styles for every kind of weather. The selection of men's designer winter jackets runs from refined padded wool coats to innovative quilted jackets with a microfibre filling that comes remarkably close to the real thing. If you're looking for the perfect winter jacket, pay particular attention to the fabric, the craftsmanship and the fit.

Which Winter Jacket is Best for Men?

The best men's winter jackets stand out for three reasons: they're warm, waterproof and beautifully made. A filling of certified down or technical padding keeps you warm on icy days, as does a fleece or shearling lining – so your jacket stays properly insulated and comfortable even in a hard frost. An adjustable hood shields your head, where the body loses heat fastest, from wind and cold. Look for an outer fabric that's as breathable as possible. Carefully finished seams and a sturdy zip determine how many winters your jacket will see you through. Down jackets are the go-to choice for sub-zero temperatures, while wool jackets and coats suit a more polished look, whether at the office or for eveningwear.

Tip:

It's worth checking the label inside the jacket: brands such as Moorer sew a woven label into the lining of their down jackets that shows its thermal rating. A scale from –20°C to +20°C tells you the temperature range in which each style will keep you comfortable.

Which Winter Jackets Really Keep You Warm?

When temperatures plummet, down jackets or padded parkas are your safest bet. Fine down clusters form tiny pockets of air that trap body heat while staying incredibly light. The warmest men's winter jackets pair a generous filling with a longer cut that falls below the hips. The outer fabric should keep biting winds at bay, and the jacket should be waterproof or at least water-resistant. That way you'll stay dry through rain, snow and damp conditions, even when you're spending hours outdoors. Choose from the following styles:

In cold, wet weather:

• technical down jackets & coats
• wind- and water-resistant parkas
• padded short jackets & quilted jackets

In cold, dry weather:

• shearling jackets
• lined wool coats

Which Brand Makes the Best Winter Jackets?

Several labels have built their reputation on iconic winter jackets. Among the best-known names in men's winter jackets are Canada Goose and Stone Island. Canada Goose men's winter jackets are renowned for exceptional warmth and thoughtful construction, with insulation that performs reliably even at temperatures as low as –20°C. Stone Island's men's winter jackets, by contrast, are prized for their experimental technical outer fabrics, many of them borrowed from military and naval applications, combined with microfibre or down padding. Many of our premium men's winter jackets come from Italian heritage brands known for luxurious materials and timeless design. These include Herno with its Sub-Zero line and Parajumpers, the outerwear brand inspired by Alaska's rescue teams. For a look that's both refined and functional, turn to Eddy Monetti: exquisite cashmere and knitted or fur collar inserts are the perfect expression of the brand's elegant aesthetic.

Which Parka is Best for Men?

The best men's designer parka for winter is generously padded with down or microfibre and built to last. Longer styles also keep the cold off your thighs. A parka with a removable liner keeps you cosy when temperatures drop and can simply be taken out on milder winter days. A detachable hood with fur trim protects your head and face, and this versatility means your parka works just as well with business looks as it does at the weekend or for outdoor pursuits.

How Can I Tell if a Winter Jacket Is Well Made?

The quality of a men's winter jacket shows above all in its materials and craftsmanship. Strong seams and a sturdy zip, or a well-made button placket with every button securely attached, are clear signs of quality. Fit matters too: the jacket should be neither too snug nor too loose. When trying it on, wear a chunky jumper to see how the silhouette sits and whether you can still raise your arms comfortably without the fabric pulling. Good winter jackets come in a wide range of styles and colours. Black, navy, brown and grey are timeless shades that go with everything. If you prefer something bolder, opt for a pattern such as checks, which rarely goes out of style either.

Alongside parkas, quilted jackets and down jackets, a lined waxed jacket deserves a place in every modern man's autumn/winter wardrobe. Rain jackets are often very light and thin, making them best suited as an extra layer. Waxed jackets, on the other hand, can be worn on their own and look effortlessly stylish, rain or shine. Here, too, make sure there's a lining that provides reliable warmth. Leather and corduroy details give many waxed styles an extra touch of refinement. Whatever the weather, there's a jacket to match.
