Men's jackets: bomber, leather or water-repellent, the transitional-season essential
Shorter and more urban than a coat, the jacket is the everyday outerwear piece, from September through to spring. The Jerem men's jackets collection covers every style: bomber jackets in faux suede or with a quilted collar, leather jackets with a stand-up or notch lapel collar, lightweight water-repellent jackets, down-quilted styles, a reversible hooded jacket and sleeveless puffer gilets. Modern pieces that work just as well over a shirt as over a jumper.
Which men's jacket should you choose for your style?
- Bomber jacket: short cut and ribbed trims, the easiest sportswear look to wear.
- Leather jacket: the statement piece, which looks better and better with age.
- Zip-up suede-effect or shirt-collar jacket: a dressier style, perfect for smart casual.
- Quilted jacket or puffer: warmth without the bulk of a coat.
What are the benefits of a water-repellent jacket?
A water-repellent fabric makes raindrops run off rather than soaking them up. The jacket therefore stands up to a shower or everyday drizzle while staying light and breathable. Jerem styles such as Strik and Ritmo are designed for in-between seasons in the city; the Javel, quilted with real down, adds warmth for winter.
How do you choose a leather jacket?
A leather jacket should fit snugly: it gives slightly and moulds to your body over time. A stand-up collar creates a clean, modern line, while a notch lapel collar offers a dressier look that can even be worn over a shirt. Discover all our leather pieces in the leather collection.
Jacket or parka: which should you choose?
A jacket stops at the hips: it is lighter, easier to move in and more urban. A parka, longer and often hooded, offers better protection from cold and rain. For the city and transitional seasons, go for a jacket; for cold, wet days, a parka. Our longer styles are gathered in the parkas and jackets collection, and our warmest winter pieces in our coats.
How do you choose the right jacket size?
Allow room for what you'll wear underneath, whether a shirt or a jumper. The shoulders should sit just right, the sleeves should reach the wrist with your arm outstretched, and the hem should sit at the waistband without riding up. A jacket that's too loose loses its shape; too tight, and it restricts movement.
How should you wear a men's jacket?
Bomber and quilted jackets pair with jeans and a jumper for the weekend. The zip-up suede-effect or shirt-collar jacket goes with smart trousers and a shirt for business casual. The leather jacket works with almost anything, from a white T-shirt to a roll neck. Stick to understated colours for maximum versatility.
Why choose a Jerem jacket?
Jerem men's jackets combine style and functionality: water-repellent fabrics, real down, leather, hoods and reversible styles. Pieces designed to go with the rest of the Jerem wardrobe, from shirts to smart trousers.
