Where to buy men's winter jacket? (for DS)

[daisyd]

LE used to be my go to for winter jackets for DS. We loved the squall and expedition parkas for our New England winters. But DS has not been a fan of his last 2 jackets. The first one had just 1 set of weirdly slanted pockets and the second one was not warm enough. I usually buy ahead. He is now in men's sizes and I wondered if there were more options for brands. We are looking for warmth and quality so we can hand down to DS2. Affordability would be a huge plus.

When my kids wore jackets, North Face were warm and not too thick. However, no one really wears jackets anymore, except on the below zero Chicago winter days. 🤦*♀️

Ditto on will they actually wear a coat. Not so much here. Bought a cheap but nice one at Costco.

This is what we did last year. DS picked out a cheap coat at Costco. He actually wore it more than I thought, but still not that much.

Thanks all. Any chance someone remembers the brand and the price on the Costco one?

[SnuggleBuggles]

No but they always have plenty of choices and most come in at $30-60.

Probably a little early to find them but I would recommend North Face from 6pm.com, Sierra.com or Nordstrom Rack.

DS1 has a Columbia jacket that we bought at Sierra a few years ago. He's also in men's sizes now, but the Columbia size 18 still fits - go figure. He walks 1 mile each way to school in Michigan, so does wear it - it's worn really well.

I have bought both of my kids a packable jacket from 32 Degrees, it's not down, but it's pretty warm, especially with a fleece underneath, and not bulky at all. No hood, because they won't wear a hood, but prefer hats. I've bought them for about 30.00 on their website (they have great deals and we have been very happy with the quality ) and we live in the midwest. They aren't on their website yet, but check back, I can't say enough about all of their basics.

Like others said, North Face and Patagonia are great brands, not the cheapest but they last too.

DS1 and I both have the 32 degrees packable coats. They are great especially for the price. I wear mine as often as I wear my pricier coats. Love the colors and that they pack so small.
