Leather jackets all the way. You can never go wrong with some classic bad-boy style.

[_GQ_]

Big fan of these two:


Timeless classics that never go out of style. Prices really vary on those two styles, you can get them for less than $100 at many places. But in order to get top quality that will last for years you'll have to pay upwards of $300. I got a very nice peacoat from express a few years back. Fit me so well, but near the end of the winter the seams on the inside were already ripping.

[ElJefe]

That's JCREW.

I'm looking at their stuff on ebay right now. Would love to get the camelhair one, but not available my size, so will have to go with black.

Of course, then you just have a nice jacket, but will still be missing the casual look. Oh well.

[_GQ_]

They the coats above on ebay? Knockoffs or legit?

[nyc]

I've got this one, by Diesel.

[_GQ_]

Fuck me that's quality, and I prefer that style of cuff rather than the loose ones. Where did you get it?

Guys,
there's a lot of nice jackets in this thread, but what do you suggest for a colder weather,like 0-10 C°?

[_GQ_]

That looks top quality. In fact that brand looks mint, never heard of it before. Can't really spend on a high end jacket at the moment, but I'll definitely keep this brand in mind when I take care of other priorities.

[ElJefe]

The guys living in ND should offer up some advice.

Yeah, I would never spend more than 10 percent of my monthly income, TOPS, on clothes. The nice clothes will be there tomorrow, as well, but if you buy that shit your cash won't.

For myself, it's less than that. Just bought a pair of nice shoes so I think new jackets are no-go for me until next year.

[RenewalMan]

Coldweather: Canada goose, peak performance, parajumpers, napapijri. They're all fairly pricey though--starting around 400, and be wary of fakes.
If your looking for a warm jacket even if it's not the most stylish, there's some good ski-jackets. I found the cloudveil down patrol jacket is pretty good.

It's the LION 00RNE. I picked it up at the Diesel store here in SoHo. It really is a great jacket: trim fit and shorter length, ribbed cuffs and hemline, and not tricked out. Don't know if it's still in stock, but you can find it here (and probably elsewhere online): http://store.diesel.com/us/men/leather-j...051mj.html

@ GQ

Go to ebay and google jcrew mayfair. Several will come up. You can score that jacket new with tags at 40-50% off!

The sellers take shammy photos, and make sure to ask if the size indicated in the ad is correct.

I was going to get one, but after critically reviewing my finances have decided to put it off a year. god damn my early youth

[CMan0928]

I was looking at this jacket the other day at the Eddie Bauer store near my house. It's reasonably priced at $299 and I can honestly say that EB's quality is usually excellent. This is the preferable style of leather jacket for me.

Ok guys so what should a broke college student get for as a jacket? Preferably in the cheap range.

So far I just wear two hoodies simultaneously. I'm sure I'm going to need to upgrade to something a little more cold resistant if I'm going to be going out and chasing pussy when its cold!

[BoiBoi]

Carhartt has some good jackets for younger guys. I have the Ranger Jacket, it looks good, is not very expensive and quite cold resistant.

[Luomu]

Anything rated for -30 C or -20 F.

I went to a place called a Burlington Coat factory and got a $200+ Columbia tri-climate jacket for $95. They also had some nice Michael Kors and Buffalo by David Bitton jackets for $80-90. Its a disorganized store, kind of like Wal-Mart, but the prices are great.Another plus is that they have 2xlt,3x,4x sizes, which are typically hard to find in coats. Their wiki says that they have stores in 45 states.

Burlington Coat Factory is a really hit or miss type of spot. Either you find some great deals or you find absolutely nothing. There's no in between. At least that's been my experience there. I do like Columbia, though I like The North Face a little better. Being from New England a good fleece is a must. These are the two I wear daily or for a casual date.

TNF Khumbu Jacket ($85)



Columbia Steens Mountain 2.0 Full-Zip ($55)

Rather expensive, but top quality Italian clothing company. Not only is the material quality, but their styling makes them fit like a glove.

not exactly pictured here, but in the ultra cold I rock a black hoody under my pea coat


I just bought this one for myself, heavy weight leather, not the soft crap, BLK DNM

[speakeasy]

What do you guys think of this look? Does a high-waist jacket look gay?



I think it's a pretty cool looking jacket and I could see getting mad compliments on it from girls, but part of me feels that the jacket looks a bit feminine riding so high up. What do y'all think?

[tawm]

I've got two Kuhl jackets I use. They both get looks/positive comments.

"Burr" jacket


"Kollusion" jacket


Sorry for the over-large pics.

Hmmm. Interesting take on the pea coat... Reminds me of the WW2 "Ike" jackets made from shortened uniform coats.

[freshfresca]

Did anybody see the red jacket Durant was wearing during the Cavs post game presser? I've been trying to hunt down a vid for a screen grab but no go. It kindve looked like a bomber jacket.
