Winter Fashion Jacket

[heat]

I was thinking about this last night..How do you guys dress fashionable during the winter? You're pretty much covered up by wearing a jacket, so it has to play a crucial role in winter fashion. But the thing is I rarely see someone wear a jacket that stands out, its always the same: black, blue, while etc.

SO I am looking for a jacket for this winter, and need to know where I can find fashionable jackets? My friend says I dress trendy (night club kinda style - nice dress shirt and jeans).

Any ideas on where I can get a nice jacket that stands out as well from the crowd?

Thanks :)

EDIT EDIT::: http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat380145&productId=2101_9124
What do you guys think about this AE jacket? I am assuming it can handle -20 degree weather since it is in the outwear section at AE. Am I right?

[Nikita]

I'd suggest Danier, unless you don't like leather. They have some great looking jackets in some really cool colors (I personally love colored leather) and their quality is really great.

This'll help you stand out fo' sho':

I am not a leather person :( plus I am not looking to put a dent in my already dented osap loans wallet.:lol:

EDIT: I was leaning more towards a jacket with stripes (the ones that sorta look like shirts, not sure if you guys know what I am talking about)

can you post a pic of what you are referring to??:confused:

i absolutely agree...i was never into leather until i met someone who works in a danier leather outlet and hook me up with good price :cheesygri then i started to pay attention even they are a little pricey.....everything from that store lasts forever!!

[the_fm]

For men, I say wool/pea-coats are in. I find those warm enough for me, definitely stylish depending on your look. Columbia/North Face/Ski Jackets are also an option, but it's definitely boring, in my opinion.

what do you mean are in? they are classics. people are still going to wear them no matter what. the only thing different now is color and the style

[heat]

if only I could find one.

Someone was telling me roots has good jackets. But I haven't noticed jackets there though. I will have a look.

[Ix2L]

anything canada goose definitely stands out.
still rocking the "ever popular" chilliwack model in either a beige or black. (yes, I got two. :o )

They are so bulky looking, people wearing white ones look like snowmen.

However, they are nice when its cold. Function over Fashion aat times I guess.

I don't know what jacket I want for this winter yet.

I like this one for now http://tinyurl.com/5nfon7

To the OP, tell us what type of jacket or search google hard to find a picture lol.

[CSAgent]

I typically have 2 coats in the winter.

#1:

It's very thick, very warm for when I know I'll be outdoors for awhile. (Walking downtown, taking photos outdoors in winter, need to blend in for my assasination assignments...)

http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/2389/1194992914tpachelseaweblz3.jpg

#2:

For when I want to look stylish, limited time outdoors. Walking from car in parking lot to indoors for example. Also wear it to work as well. Or if I want to impress people/someone. I've gotten a lot of comments from people with this coat on how great it looks and where they can find it.

[mself084]

totally offtopic...CSAgent - where'd you get those pants/belt in the 2nd pic? they look good!

[CSAgent]

#1 coat does. With leather gloves and a scarf of course. Just look for something that's heavy in material.

Pants are from Tristan & America, belt's from Mexx.

[impuls3d]

Canada goose is only like $500.... but definitely stands out especially the ones with the big fur on the hoodie.

So...where did you get that coat?

[dog_mumu]

Yeah, I agree. Leather jackets have the whole 'cool'-factor associated with it. How much are they nowadays? I was at a store and they were going well above $350.

Danier always overprices their stuff. They do it so that they can have $200+ sales afterwards. Right now they are selling their new models for $350+ but you can get last year's stuff at $100-$150, which is much more reasonable. You can come in and see if you like any of the current on sale items, you can wait until the style you like gets discounted, or if you are a good negotiator, you can straight away ask for a discount because you know their tricks.

They obviously do not have a lot of fall/winter stuff on sale right now, but if you plan ahead you can get great deals at the end of the season. Most leather styles do not look dated even after several years so you don't really have to worry about it going out of fashion next year.

[UrbanPoet]

If you wear nicer fashionable jackets eg. LEather or wool peat coats... I find that wearing a long sleeve waffle undershirt does a great deal in keeping you warm. That + long johns will keep you well equiped for the winter!

^ bet that costed big bucks... but def worth it???

yeah... set me back $400 something. But it is very warm. I can wear a tshirt under it in -10 weather and not even be cold. Apparently its the only water resistant model... I believe it has either gortex or teflon coating... Not sure.

[Teh_Canadian]

Peacoats are surely a "fainshonable" choice, but will surely make you look like an idiot if you wear it with something stupid, or it just isn't you.

I'm personally a fan of vests. You could try that out.

yao416 get your facts straight. Absurd is from new york and is gangster/street imo. Also, I don't know why you brought up North face and Canada Goose because Goodfoot basically stole that logo on the back of the varsity from Canada Goose. And I'm a long time Goodfoot shopper. So no hate towards them but Goodfoot clothing line isn't unique or original to begin with. Their first varsity release was decent but not for the 300-400 they were pushing it for.

If i dont recall, i rmbr seeing a jacket at H&M that was almost identical to a G-Star Jacket i saw before. It was going for like 50 bucks, so if ur on budget check it out.

To the OP, that AE jacket doesn't even look like it will protect you from -10 degrees. Spend your money on a CG that will last you for 10+ years.

It was from Mexx, bought last November. Retail price was $299, have a friend who knows a friend at Mexx so got it for 50% off. Came out to less than $200 on my end.

Thanks! Its surprising that I haven't seen anyone else with it, there were quite a few at Mexx when it first came out.

Haha yeah I love Mexx ties, they always look great. They're not too expensive either. Odd thing is I've only worn that tie a total of 3 times since I bought it 2 years ago. Was a impulse buy on Boxing Day, 50% off!!

Not true. When I worked at AE, I bought 2 coats there, each $80-$90 and they were fine. Just wear a sweater under it, like every other coat. Layering > thickness/price.

[Eyies]

If you don't mind the snowman look go for any of the mentioned parkas - Canada Goose is the *****.

If you don't wanna look huge, get a nice peacoat or wool coat from H&M and wear a bunch of layers. Should be okay as long as you're not outside for like hours on end. Scarf/leather gloves help too if that's your thing.

[impuls3d]

CAn someone tell me why Canada Goose is so good??
I was thinking of buying out but does it really make a difference besides the "balling" status?? How much does it usually go for?? The parka one is the one im eyeing right now. Is it really worth the amount of money or should i just get a playstation 3?

[dokie]

you rather spend money on a ps3 than get a jacket...

unless you plan to stay home all winter..then i guess investing on a ps3 is a good deal..

I was thinking about this last night..How do you guys dress fashionable during the winter? You're pretty much covered up by wearing a jacket, so it has to play a crucial role in winter fashion. But the thing is I rarely see someone wear a jacket that stands out, its always the same: black, blue, while etc.

SO I am looking for a jacket for this winter, and need to know where I can find fashionable jackets? My friend says I dress trendy (night club kinda style - nice dress shirt and jeans).

Any ideas on where I can get a nice jacket that stands out as well from the crowd?

The one from AE is thin like a spring jacket, not even suitable for windy Fall weather I'm afraid.

I think it's more of a night jacket where you wear to dinner or similar functions. If you want a real peacoat, look at Gap or other places like that where you can feel the fabric because they usually carry two models; one for light weather and one for cold weather.

[Sephora]

Thing about Canada Goose is that they are really warm; don't forget their popular use before they were pre-opted by us urbanites was for the arctic.

I used to use a wool jacket from BR during the winter, and I would layer it with a thick sweater when it got really cold.

Now with the Canada Goose, I don't bust it out until it's at least -5, and even then I don't need a sweater under it. So I still keep the wool for those warmer than -5 days.

Wow, $500 on a Zara coat? That's getting into Harry Rosen/Holt Renfrew range.

Is it true that Canada goose is life time warranted? I've heard that the north face gotham jacket is alot warmer than the canada goose parka. True or false? isnt the gotham alot cheaper as well?

i have the campus coat, and its okay for about 10 degrees. Than you start getting cold, so i bought a hoodie to wear under and it works perfectly well, sheilding you from cold and looking good.

what kind of cold are you talking about? If your campus coat works well up to 10 degrees then adding on a hoodie would be good for 0 degrees.

That IS a nice coat VX...good choice.

[bluewaker]

What's a good reccomendation for a coat for a 17 year old that's not a snowboard coat or something. I wanted a trenchcoat but decided it would be a little much for me (not moneywise, just not suiting me so much). Does anyone know anybody who makes some decent coats with a fur (preferably faux) lined hood? Must be warm and suitable to -20.

[Sajuuk-kar]

17 year old? Jean machine or buffalo (the store) should have some puffy fur line coats for ya. But at this rate, seeing as you'll be graduating real soon fromn highschool and moving on, I suggest you find a nicer coat. You'll change a lot very soon, believe me.

I think he also wore this jacket during last year's all-star weekend.

thats a sweet looking trench, any ideas where I can get something similar?

err how is it too professional, it's a pretty casual coat. Not to mention as a university student one of the perks is you can wear whatever the hell you want so it's all good

I think looking at the picture the coat looks like its geared more towards a workplace kind of atmosphere. Possibly due to the dress pants and the shirt and tie. I'm not sure if it would look good with just a simple shirt and jeans.

It looked good when I tried it and I had jeans with casual shoe :cheesygri . I'm a 18 years old student and I think it's pretty a pretty casual coat. I didn't go with a classic double breasted pea coat because I think that style is more for older adults.

I'm hesitant to buy a coat without a hood. Toques/caps completely mess up my hair, but I need to keep my head warm somehow. Any alternatives?

Try buying earmuffs, they go for about 10 dollars at sport cheq/mark's warehouse thats what i use.

[papermate]

There are a few really nice Guess 3/4 length hooded coats to be had @ the winners @ warden and eglinton for $120.


Just got 2 french connection coats from designerdepot for $100 total.(there's an unadvertised 2 for 1 fcuk deal going on). Also, don't forget your spc card if you go shopping there! (10% off)

[vg007]

That tristan coat is very sharp looking, but ya, maybe just a bit too much fashion for uni. At least here in waterloo, only the girls actually spend time on dressing properly (blanket statement, I know).

Does anybody know/remember this coat (not quite 3/4 length) that was very talked about last year, I think it was by Hugo Boss, at Holt Renfrew for about $500, I think it was tweed, very understated, most people would look good in it. I was reading about it on here if that's any help. thx!

(oh! Found it, Hugo Boss Cox carcoat. Still available and stylish a whole year later ;) )

Probably not... you'll need quite a few layers... Sweater, waffle shirt etc...

[vg007]

Well, I found this Kenneth Cole NY 3/4 length at Stars, charcoal grey, 90% wool, $200, so I bought it!

I also found the mythical Gloverall duffel coat at the Bay, it had been rebadged (to the Bay's 'Signature' brand), but the square logo and everything (including the house tartan) was in place. Unfortunately, the way they are cut is that it has a kind of tent effect on me, but it does have a very nautical look. $695 (:eek:).

Very late edit: They are indeed made by Gloverall, confirmed on the Bay's website. It is hard to find sizes however, as they have a lot in their traditional "Queen Anne's" colours and few in actually fashionable ones.

[Jay Hova]

Probably not... you'll need quite a few layers... Sweater, waffle shirt etc...

Yeah, well I'd say -10 deg cels; is the threshold for that jacket. Assuming you have a sweater with a shirt beneath it. You definitely don't want to layer too much either, otherwise it'll look real hefty on you.

i'm looking for a winter jacket also and i dont know where i can get a relative cheap one, i say around $150?

i'm just in university so dont want to spend too much. is it a big difference between brands that costs $400+?

and what is the difference between trench/peacoat/car coat?

thanks

p.s. dont really want a bomber jacket as those seem a bit not my style.

[hOrnizuka]

how to choose a quality wool coat? The higher % of the wool the better?

[maebach]

picked up a pea coatfrom sams club. It was $61 including tax and it is unlimited branded by kenneth colde. Like this except dark grey:

My pea coat has 2 hidden buttons on the inside of the coat. Are these to make the coat fit tighter around the body?

Yeah, I was shocked when I saw Ralph Lauren at Costco. Here's the funny thing, they were selling RL Dress shirts at either $29.99 or $39.99. I think RL only sells at one Canadian retailer, I can't remember which off the top of my head...but I'm certain this retailer would sell at double the price of Costco.

I only have 3 jackets, this peacoat, a winter coat and a rain coat. So I'll probably use this to wear casually since I dont have anything else for the fall season. This is my first pea coat but I see people wearing it casualy all the time.

Maybe this could help:

Unlimited is the cheapest line of the 3 from Kenneth Cole - KCNY, KC Reaction and KC Unlimited so it shouldn't be that shocking you got it from Sam's Club- but the price you got is still a good price...

layers are for the weak, just get a thick jacket so you dont have to take off all those layers when you get inside.

I don't like the current trend of patterned jackets - you know, the beige or grey-coloured ones with an abstract print all over them. They might be fine if you're a teenager, but too many people are starting to wear'em.
