What is ideally wanted from a coat is suitability for all occasions. You want it to keep you warm, make you look casual, sometimes make you look smart and finally it should fit with who you are. What a tall order to ask from one item of clothing! But the answer lies in the depth of Joe Browns men's jackets collection; the Leather Jacket. Notably the most worn type of jacket over many years, this jacket is going to tick nearly all your "requirement" boxes.
Firstly it is made of a material that is both warm and waterproof. The leather acts as a shield to the elements like an extra skin, therefore doing the ultimate job that a coat is designed to do. It also converts well to a spring jacket as you can simply wear less underneath, to acclimatise to the temperature of the day, but still be kept dry from the inevitable rain.
However, the advantage of a leather jacket, especially the ones found at Joe Browns, is their suitability for most occasions. A leather jacket worn with Mens Hoodies and some baggy jeans creates a very casual, easy-going look. It could suit a simple stroll down to the shops to a cinema trip. But it then has another side to it. Place a crisp shirt underneath with a pair of good-soled shoes and you have a sophisticated and smart look.
Being able to dress for both social scenarios with just one jacket is every man’s dream. No more will you be ridiculed for looking too casual or too smart, the leather jacket will help you along the way to creating the ideal look for the given situation. But do consider that a leather jacket does not suit everybody.
Make sure you know whether it suits you or not by trying on a few different variations. It may be that the Rockstar Jacket from Joe Browns is more your style. This imitation leather jacket is more understated than the real leather jacket. Its simple shape and black fabric make it a black canvas for whoever is wearing it. You can then let your individual style and personality shine through.
Many designers and brands have present a multitude of looks and colors, never forgetting practical aspects like wind and water repellent and appropriate size to fit over a suit coat. Protect your-self from the snow, cold and rain and look great after you reach your destination. Most rain coats have a mixture of modern fabrics and most of them have around 80% polyester and 20% nylon.
In terms of colors, designers presents a complete rainbow of colors. Ranging from bold shades of red, purple, blue, green and yellow washed to basic black and gray palettes. We see rain overcoats with splashes of deeper hues that when combined with simple leather jackets and denim give a modern relaxed and informal look. Their idea is to define a clothing style able to bright up the darkest of winter days. Another, fashion trend is to combine long rain coats with over bomber jackets giving a military edge but with a practical funny feeling.
Brands like North Face, Columbia and Patagonia offer a wide range of rain coats with extremely high quality an affordable prices. In this season you can find unbelievable bargains on trendy, practical and durable men's rain coats for those who know where to look.
One principle that you must keep in mind is that not all raincoats keep water out at the same extent. The materials used will most often determine how well the raincoat will keep moisture out. Besides, waterproofing features a good raincoat must be super-lightweight, breathable and have rubberized trims for the highest performance in the outdoors.
A waterproof raincoat is designed to keep most, if not all, water out. When a completely waterproof raincoat is thought of the most common idea would be those yellow parkas and ponchos. These are an old image no longer true, nowadays, raincoats follow the latest fashion trends and designers/manufacturers fight to create new and interesting looks associated with an ever increasing efficiency in terms of climate resistance and comfort. These jackets will most often be made out of of polyester with water resistant coating. Sometimes the polyester is recycled.
Trench coats are a very popular style because they compliment a formal style. With contemporary pocket detailing and a clean silhouette defined by sweeping vertical lines these raincoats will come in many colors and designs. Considering the stylish purpose of these waterproof trench coats they are made of 100% cotton outer with a durable waterproof coating.
You must be aware of the terminology used to describe raincoats. When a raincoat is characterized as waterproof will generally suggest that the coat is extremely efficient keeping you dry. However characterizing it as 'water resistant' or 'water repellent' will suggest that it can keep small amounts of moisture away but if too much moisture builds up, like when is raining torrentialy, then water/moisture will enter.
