Buying Tips for Jackets

  • Hardware quality is the easiest tell — zippers, snaps, and pulls should feel weighty.
  • Down fill power matters for puffers; look for 550+ fill power references.
  • Denim jackets should list the oz weight of the denim; 12-14oz is standard.
  • Workwear jackets should have reinforced stress points and bar-tack stitching.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Buying a jacket without checking the lining material — polyester lining feels cheap and traps heat.
  • Ignoring the weight; a real puffer should feel substantial, not like a windbreaker.
  • Not checking pocket construction — real workwear has reinforced pocket bags.

Style Direction in 2026

2026 sees a strong return of workwear and utilitarian aesthetics. Vintage bomber jackets and oversized denim are staples. Layering-friendly fits with room for hoodies underneath are preferred.

Sizing Advice

Jackets are almost always sized to fit over layers. If you plan to wear a hoodie underneath, add 2-3cm to your chest measurement when comparing size charts. Puffers run larger due to fill volume.
