Men's outerwear divides fairly cleanly by how cold it actually is when you put it on, so that is how this collection is worth reading.

Bomber and harrington jackets cover the mild end: short body, ribbed hem, easy over a hoodie or a jumper. They are for a spring evening or an autumn afternoon, not for standing about in January. Overshirts and lightweight jackets sit lower still on the warmth scale and are really a layer rather than a coat — useful precisely because they go under something else.

Padded and quilted jackets are the cold-weather answer. The fill is synthetic rather than down, which handles damp better and keeps the price sensible. Look for a hood if your winter involves walking anywhere. Wool-blend coats and parkas are the longer, smarter option: more coverage, more structure, and a better fit over a shirt and jumper than a bomber will ever give you.

Sizing. Most of these are cut with a jumper in mind. Take your usual size for a standard fit, or one up if you layer heavily or prefer room through the shoulders. The product page lists the size run and colours.
