The cold is coming, and it's time to pick a jacket. Work jacket, liner, puffer or windbreaker: each one has its use. Here's what we have at the shop right now, sorted by type, to help you find yours.
The work jacket: the one you wear all winter
The most versatile piece: a heavy canvas that can take a beating, often with a lining for warmth.
- Carhartt WIP's Detroit Jacket is made of 340 g organic cotton Dearborn canvas, with a wide fit, an insulating lining and a corduroy collar. The OG Detroit uses the same heavy canvas in the original loose fit, but unlined: perfect between seasons or over a sweatshirt.
- If you want a hood, the Active Jacket is in water-repellent Dearborn canvas, with a 3M Thinsulate insulating lining, warm but light. The OG Active has a quilted lining, an adjustable hood and a kangaroo pocket.
- From Service Works, the Dove Work Jacket and the Twill Work Jacket are made of GOTS-certified organic cotton twill (310 g/m²), with a YKK two-way zip and a partly elasticated waist.
- And to stand out, Obey's Workshop Jacket is in cow-print 100% cotton denim, fully lined.
The liner: on its own or as a mid layer
A liner is a mid layer: you wear it on its own when it's mild, or under a heavier jacket when it gets cold.
- Carhartt WIP's Prentis Liner is made of thick fleece, with nylon taffeta details and a mesh lining. It also comes sleeveless: the Prentis Vest Liner.
- The Kander Liner is in light padded nylon ripstop, water-repellent, with a stand-up collar.
The puffer: for the really cold days
Nothing beats a puffer when the temperature drops. Obey's Stratus Puffer and Echo Puffer are in nylon, with a thick insulating lining and a loose fit. The Stratus has a hood and horizontal quilting. From Butter Goods, the Grid Puffer has grid quilting. All three are currently in our outlet, in a few sizes only.
The water-repellent jacket: for rainy days
- Carhartt WIP's Hooded Sail Jacket is in water-repellent Supplex nylon, fleece-lined, with an adjustable hood.
- The Quentin Jacket is in mid-weight nylon canvas, water-repellent, with a quilted lining and a corduroy collar.
- The Car-Lux Hooded Jacket is in water-repellent polyester-cotton, with a fleecy finish for extra warmth.
Windbreakers and denim
- From Jacker, the Racing Jacket is in nylon, with embroideries and racing patches. The J-Wind is in light printed twill, with drawcords on the sides.
- Butter Goods' Grid Denim Jacket has the classic trucker fit, in 100% cotton denim.
Which size should you take?
Most of these jackets have a loose or wide fit, which leaves room for a sweatshirt underneath. A few pointers from the photos: the model is 1.85 m (6'1") and wears an M in the Hooded Sail Jacket, and 1.83 m (6'0") with an M in the Dove Work Jacket. Our size guide helps you choose, and the easiest way is still to try them on at the shop, 3 rue Folco de Baroncelli in Avignon. If the size isn't right, you have 14 days to return the item.
