The Winter Jacket Edit

We all dread the Great British Winter, but this year, whether it's the cold or just the rain that's going to make you hate dark nights and darker mornings, we've got the perfect jacket to help you get through the cold months.

Waxed Barbour

Having done battle with the British weather for over 100 years, it's safe to say that Barbour know a thing or two about keeping warm and dry. These jackets are all finished in the famous thornproof wax coating, making them ultra durable, wind, and water proof- perfect for those pesky Wintery showers.

Lightweight Layers

If you're not into wearing big heavy weight jackets, then consider one of these stylish lightweight options, and layering it up with a decent jumper.

For a modern styled up look, try the Weekend Offender Crew Jacket, or go in for the Penfield Kasson for a more traditional outdoors look. Finally, for all you heritage heads, there's this Fred Perry Fishtail Parka. A throw back style, this Parka has got a rich vein of tradition flowing through it; perfect with skinny jeans.

Classic Harringtons

The Harrington was a jacket of choice for the mod's, as they linked their classic style gingham shirts with this now renowned jacket. Often finished with a double button neck fastening and button down pockets, they are still the perfect smart/casual cross over coat.

For a true piece of heritage, take a look at the Baracuta G6. A style institution, Baracuta were the first brand to develop the Harrington jacket, and this year, they have taken it back to its firmly loved roots.

Fancy something with a modern edge? Take a look at these new releases by Pretty Green. Finished with the now infamous Pretty Green paisley lining, wear yours open to earn some extra style points.

Winter Warmers

Here's a few true cold weather beaters. Perfect for those days that are scraping the barrel of single digit temperatures, each one of the jackets has their own way of keeping you warm. A heavy woolen option by Musto makes its way back into your winter wardrobe with the Melton Peacoat. Inspired by original naval styles, Musto have used all of their experience from clothing sea goers to create this heavy weight, double breasted woolen coat.

Following it up is this EA7 puffer jacket. Lightweight and packed full to the brim with ultra warm duck down, this premium looking jacket is topped off with the EA7 sleeve badge, giving it a classy edge.

Finally, the daddy of all cold weather jackets, Penfield, have come good again with this insulated Rockwool Jacket. With some well chosen design points, such as a faux fur collar to turn up when it gets really cold, as well as skiing inspired leather shoulder patches, this jacket is one of the warmest styles going.

Body Warmers

The perfect answer for those days when you don't want the cumbersome weight of a jacket, but still need that extra something to keep you warm, body warmers are great for layering up with your favourite piece of knitwear. Opt in for something truly eye catching with the glossy finish on the Duvetica, or keep your heritage style alive with a classic matte finish from Fred Perry and Penfield.
