Men's winter jackets on clearance

Waterproofs: heirs of sailor's coats

The waterproof jackets in the selection come directly from the outfits of Nordic fishermen. Helly Hansen was founded in 1877 in Moss, Norway, when Captain Helly Juell Hansen coated a canvas with linseed oil to make a raincoat; the Dubliner captures the spirit in an urban cut. Didriksons was established in 1913 in Grundsund on Sweden's west coast, where Julius and Hanna Didrikson made work clothes for sailors. Today, a breathable membrane and sealed seams replace the oil, and both the Dario and the Regatta Changing can be worn in the city or on hikes.

Tracksuit jacket: from Biella to paddocks

The tracksuit jacket has moved from the field to everyday life. The Fila Biella jacket is named after the Piedmont city where the brand started in 1911, first as a textile manufacturer; its fitted shape and contrasting inserts recall the tennis outfits of the seventies. The Nike Tech uses a fine, dense fleece that is warm and lightweight, keeping a sleek line without bulk. The Mercedes-AMG Petronas jackets feature the silver, black, and green Petronas colours from the Formula One team, for motorsport fans who want to show their team off the track.

Lyle & Scott, Fred Perry, Lonsdale: the British touch

Three British brands give the selection its classic look. Lyle & Scott, founded in 1874 in Hawick, Scotland, as a wool manufacturer, makes understated hooded jackets and a thermoreactive jacket that changes colour with temperature. Fred Perry, established in 1952 by the three-time Wimbledon champion, offers a cotton peacoat, a lighter version of the double-breasted naval coat. Lonsdale, founded in London in 1960 in the boxing world, is named after the fifth Earl of Lonsdale, who was the origin of the famous belt awarded to British champions.

Fleece and softshell for mid-season

Between showers, fleece and softshell take over from the waterproof. The fleece, made from brushed polyester fibres, traps air to retain warmth while remaining lightweight and drying quickly: Faguo, a Nantes brand founded in 2009 that plants a tree for every product sold, and Peak Mountain, with a sherpa version featuring looped interior, both provide these. The Kariban softshell, an elastic fabric lined with micropolar fleece, blocks the wind and can withstand a light rain. Layered, a fleece and a waterproof jacket can cover the entire winter. These clearance items allow you to gear up before the first chills arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which jacket should I choose for winter in the city?

A lined waterproof jacket, or a softshell layered over a fleece, covers most urban days. For extreme cold, it's better to layer multiple thin layers than to look for one very thick jacket.

What does the water column of a waterproof jacket mean?

It measures, in millimetres, the water pressure the fabric can withstand before letting moisture through. Above ten thousand millimetres, a jacket can endure persistent rain; below, it is suitable for short showers.

How do I wash a waterproof jacket?

Zip up fasteners and straps, then wash at thirty degrees with a gentle liquid detergent, without fabric softener that clogs the membrane. A warm tumble dry, if the label allows it, reactivates the water-repellent treatment.

What size to take for a tracksuit jacket?

Tracksuit jackets often fit close to the body, especially retro-inspired models. To wear it over multiple layers, take the next size up; when worn alone, your usual size will suffice.

Can a fleece be worn alone in winter?

In dry weather and without wind, a thick fleece is enough for a short outing. It does, however, let air and water through: as soon as the wind picks up or it rains, it should be worn under a waterproof jacket.
