Men's parkas: water-repellent, hooded or 2-in-1, protection that stays smart
The men's parka is the jacket for rainy, windy days: more technical than a coat, smarter than an anorak. The Jerem men's parkas collection offers water-repellent parkas with a detachable hood, 2-in-1 parkas with a removable gilet or puffer, multi-pocket windproof parkas, styles with a faux fur-lined hood and leather parkas.
Parka, coat or puffer jacket: what's the difference?
The coat is the smartest piece, in wool cloth, designed for the city. The puffer jacket focuses on lightweight warmth thanks to its quilting. The parka sits between the two: a technical fabric that protects from rain and wind, a hood, plenty of pockets and a length that covers the hips.
What is a water-repellent parka?
A water-repellent finish makes water bead off the fabric instead of soaking in: in a shower, the parka stays dry inside. Some styles add waterproof zips, where water usually gets through. For everyday rain in town, it is the most practical protection.
Why choose a 2-in-1 parka?
A 2-in-1 parka hides a removable gilet or puffer. Together, the two pieces take on the cold; the shell alone is enough in the transitional season, and the inner piece can be worn on its own on mild days. Three ways to dress with a single garment.
Which details should you check before buying a parka?
- The hood: detachable to keep a clean line in town, or lined with faux fur for the harshest cold.
- The collar: a high or detachable collar protects your neck from the wind.
- The fastenings: zip and press studs together, to close quickly and securely.
- The pockets: chest pockets, hand-warmer pockets and inside pockets, so you can leave the bag at home.
What parka length should you choose?
A short parka stops at the hips and suits casual outfits. A classic-length parka covers the lower back and remains the most versatile. A long parka reaches mid-thigh: it is the one that best covers a suit jacket.
How do you wear a parka with style?
In a subtle shade, a parka works over a jumper and chinos as well as over a shirt and smart trousers. Over a suit, choose a long style with a clean cut, without too much volume.
Why choose a Jerem parka?
Jerem men's parkas combine technical fabrics with cuts that define the shoulders: water-repellent fabrics, detachable collars and hoods, removable inner pieces. They pair with our men's cardigans and our men's jumpers to build layers suited to every season.
