Men's parkas and jackets: protection and style for your outerwear
Outerwear is the first and last thing people see of your outfit: it must protect you without sacrificing style. The Jerem men's Parkas & Jackets collection offers water-repellent parkas with detachable hoods, shirt-collar jackets and safari-inspired styles in COOLMAX®, designed to take on bad weather with elegance, from the daily commute to the weekend.
Parka or jacket: which should you choose?
A parka is longer and offers more coverage: ideal for cold and rain, it protects down to the hips or thighs, often with a hood. A jacket, shorter, is more versatile and urban: it pairs easily with both smart and casual outfits. For the transitional season and the city, choose the jacket; for winter and bad weather, the parka.
What do water-repellent fabric and COOLMAX® offer?
Water-repellent fabric makes water bead on the surface: the garment withstands moderate rain without soaking through like a standard fabric. COOLMAX® is a technology that wicks away moisture and promotes breathability, useful to avoid feeling stuffy under outerwear. These technologies bring real everyday comfort without weighing the garment down.
How do you choose the right size of outerwear?
Unlike a suit jacket, a parka or jacket is worn over other layers: allow room for a jumper or jacket underneath, without it hanging loose. The shoulders should sit just right, and the sleeves should cover the wrist even with your arm outstretched. A jacket that is too fitted limits layering; too big, it weighs down your silhouette.
How do you style a parka or jacket?
A shirt-collar jacket goes just as well with chinos as with smart trousers for a smart casual look. A water-repellent parka works with a relaxed winter outfit (jumper, jeans). Opt for understated colours (navy, khaki, charcoal) for versatility: dark outerwear goes with almost your entire wardrobe.
How do you care for water-repellent outerwear?
Wash rarely and at a low temperature, with a gentle detergent (harsh detergents impair water repellency). Avoid fabric softener. A gentle tumble dry or a pass with a warm iron can reactivate the water-repellent treatment of some fabrics (check the care label). Store the garment clean and dry to preserve its technical membranes.
