Coats and parkas for men and women: pea coats, winter parkas

Men's and women's coats: pea coat Armor-Lux, Desigual and Le Temps des Cerises

The coats include the pea coat Armor-Lux Cap Sizun, from the Breton brand of Quimper, and women's coats Desigual Napoles, Le Temps des Cerises Arty and Only Freja Life, as well as blended wool coats COMMA and s.Oliver, including a mid-length coat with a removable lining. The wool coat is best chosen to be fairly loose to fit over a sweater or jacket, and the pea coat, double-breasted with large buttons, goes well over both a suit and a nautical jumper.

Parkas: Didriksons, Krakatau, Schott and Faguo

The parkas range from the parkas Didriksons Akilles and the women's parka Didriksons Felia, from the Swedish rainwear brand, to the parkas Krakatau Planck, the Schott Nelson parka and the Faguo Cheverny parka, from the French brand. A parka is chosen with a hood and is long enough to cover the hips. For winter, a padded parka, like the padded Aigle parka, retains heat better; for mid-season, a lightweight parka suffices.

Waterproof jackets: Helly Hansen, Patagonia and Regatta

The waterproof jackets include the jacket Helly Hansen Munich, from the Norwegian brand, the Patagonia Torrentshell 3L jacket, and the 3-in-1 jackets Regatta, with a removable inner jacket, along with jackets Didriksons and Weather Report. The rain jacket can be worn alone or over a fleece, with an adjustable hood so it doesn’t obstruct your view.

Coat or parka: choose according to use

In the city and at the office, the wool coat or pea coat covers a suit or sweater. For walking, cycling, or using public transport in the rain, a hooded parka and waterproof jacket will keep you dry. In very cold, dry weather, the down jacket takes over: the winter coat is primarily chosen based on the climate where you live. Often, two pieces are enough for an entire season: a city coat and a rain parka.

Men's coats, women's jackets and down jackets

For a single wardrobe, the men's coats and jackets and the women's jackets and coats have their selection, and the down jackets are there for the cold weather.

Women's parka coat and men's parka coat

The parka coat combines the length of a coat with the hood of a parka. For women, it is chosen to be fitted at the waist or straight to mid-thigh; for men, it is longer and covers a suit jacket. A winter parka coat benefits from having a warm lining, a lined hood, and pockets that close.

Cheap coats and parkas: new arrivals and Black Friday

Fast shipping and best price guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions about coats and parkas

What’s the difference between a coat and a parka?

The coat, often made of wool, is more formal and is worn in the city. The parka, made of technical fabric and with a hood, protects against wind and rain: the parka is the choice for wet days.

How to choose the length of a coat?

A short coat, mid-thigh, goes with jeans and trainers; a long coat, knee-length, covers a suit jacket. The long coat should extend beyond the jacket worn underneath.

How to care for a wool coat?

Brush it after each wear, in the direction of the fibres, and let it air on a wide hanger. For a stain or a complete cleaning, dry cleaning is safer than the washing machine for a wool pea coat.

Parka or down jacket for winter?

The down jacket insulates best in very cold, dry weather; the parka, longer and often waterproof, provides better protection against wind and rain. The 3-in-1 jackets combine both with a removable inner jacket.

What size coat to choose?

Take your usual size and check that a sweater fits underneath without pulling at the shoulders. An oversized coat can also be taken in your usual size: the looseness is already in the cut.
