Men's Jackets and Coats on Sale

Down jacket, parka or pea coat: choosing according to your winter

For those who walk a lot in the city in dry weather, the down jacket remains the most effective: lightweight and compressible, it retains heat without adding bulk to the silhouette. The parka, longer in style, protects the upper thighs and is often accompanied by an adjustable hood and deep pockets: it's the choice for walking in the rain or wind. The pea coat, a short coat of navy origin, traditionally double-breasted, structures the silhouette more, like the one from Fred Perry in cotton. For long waits in the cold, by a field or on a train platform, the heated parka becomes a full option.

Superdry, Parajumpers, Lyle & Scott: three schools of the down jacket

The Superdry Everest, with a hood and covering fit, and the Sports illustrate the style of the British brand founded in 2003, which blends American influences with Japanese-inspired graphics. Parajumpers, founded in 2006 by Italian Massimo Rossetti, draws inspiration from the gear of a national guard rescue squad in Alaska, which is where its down jackets are designed for extreme conditions. Lyle & Scott, a Scottish house established in 1874 in Hawick and recognisable by its golden eagle, completes the selection with its own down jacket, emblazoned with the eagle that identifies all its pieces.

Parkas Faguo, Kariban and Sixth June: protection and warmth

The Faguo Cheverny parka bears the signature of the French brand founded in 2009, which names its models after communities in France. The Kariban parka, with a padded lining, focuses on simple and robust insulation for everyday wear. The heated parka Sixth June incorporates heating elements powered by an external battery, not included, which slides into a pocket designed for this purpose: a press of the button is enough to provide gentle warmth, useful during long periods of standing. These three parkas cover the upper thighs and come with a hood, two advantages against the winter wind.

Fit, length and details of a good men's coat

A winter coat should fit at the shoulders and have sleeves that cover the wrists when arms are bent, with enough ease around the chest to layer multiple items. The details make a difference: adjustable hood with a drawstring, high collar lined with soft fabric, ribbed inner cuffs to block the wind, double-slider zip for sitting without pulling at the bottom, and lined hand-warmer pockets. On a rain parka, check for sealed seams: without them, water will eventually seep through at the shoulders, where the rain hits the hardest.

Frequently asked questions

How does a heated parka work?

Heating elements sewn into the lining are connected to an external battery slipped into a pocket. On the Sixth June, the battery is not included: check the compatibility of the connector before purchase, then adjust the heat according to the temperature.

How to store a down jacket during the summer?

Clean it, let it dry completely to avoid mould, then hang it on a wide hanger in a breathable fabric cover. A down jacket compressed for several months in a vacuum bag loses some of its loft.

What does the RDS label guarantee on a down duvet jacket?

The Responsible Down Standard ensures that the down and feathers come from birds that have benefited from animal welfare rules, without live-plucking or force-feeding. Traceability is controlled from the farm to the finished product.

Pea coat or parka: which should I choose for the office?

The pea coat, short and structured, pairs well with smart attire and remains stylish when fastened. The parka, more casual, wins out when the journey is on foot or by bike in the rain, thanks to its hood and length.

How to re-waterproof a parka?

When water no longer beads, wash the parka with a technical detergent, then apply a spray or machine waterproofing treatment. A tumble dry on a low setting, if the label permits, reactivates the water-repellent treatment.
