Winter is a wonderland all its own, but its icy side demands winter coats that provide cozy warmth and enviable style all season long. A winter wardrobe needs options like a Swiss Army Knife: A parka for brutal blizzards, a peacoat for a dash of refined style, and perhaps a wool plaid jacket for some unexpected flair. You’ll find each among our favorite winter coats and jackets below.
Nobis Yatesy Furless Men’s Long Parka
This Nobis parka delivers cold-weather performance with a dose of elevated alpine style. Crafted from premium polyester crosshatch fabric with a durable water-repellent finish, it features Canadian-origin white duck down for legit warmth while still feeling lightweight, with a peacoat-style fit. A Sympatex laminated membrane and seam-sealed construction make it windproof and waterproof, while a down-filled hood with moldable framing wire offers added protection. Thoughtful details—including ribbed cuffs with thumbholes that serve as built-in gloves, multiple interior pockets, and a customizable wind skirt—ensure added functionality, and notably earned it a rave review in The Strategist. Designed in Canada and machine washable, it’s a stylish parka that’s built for real winter conditions. $1,195
Flint and Tinder Wool Herringbone Overcoat
Let’s start with the basics: When you go with a suited-and-booted look, or team your favorite wool blazer with crisp dress trousers, you’re going to need a proper overcoat. This one from the good folks at Huckberry and Flint & Tinder oozes swagger. The flap patch pockets are roomy and classic in both form and function, while the ticket pocket is also a daring touch typically of handmade or bespoke overcoats. You get all of this from Huckberry’s famed in-house brand, complete with richly textured fabric able to pair with shades of olive, navy and everything in between. $398
Taylor Stitch Waterfront Jacket in Evergreen Plaid Wool
Take the classic workwear jacket, and then spruce it up for the season in a rich Evergreen Plaid, and that’s where this hard-wearing, thick wool number enters the fray. The 14.5oz. wool build is sturdy and remarkably warm, while Taylor Stitch also relies on famously durable hardware from YKK to complete this jacket. The large foldover collar can also assuredly be turned up against the winter cold at a moment’s notice. Taken altogether, it’s as classic as a wintry night at your favorite pub. $298
Filson Down Cruiser Parka
Filson gear is famously steadfast, durable and ruggedly cool (and highly functional). This Down Cruiser Parka takes on winter with waxed fabrication, cozy insulation and the sort of reliability that would make your grandfather proud to wear this coat. The thick, oversized hood delivers maximum winter-ready protection, while its dependable snap pockets are amply sized and more than ready to handle the tools of the trade and your everyday carry. There’s a reason Filson was trusted by old-school explorers and pioneers: The legacy continues apace to this day. $699
Finisterre Nebulas Jacket
Finisterre got its start making gear for surfers taking on frigid coastal England waters, and this jacket brings that same hardy appeal to winter pursuits back on snowy turf, complete with a water-resistant recycled ripstop shell. And while some puffer jackets are unwieldy and overly bulky, this number manages to look streamlined while delivering optimal warmth, all the while using sustainable fabric in an ever-versatile shade of wear-with-anything black, since style still counts in the winter cold. $320
Line of Trade Melton CPO Jacket
When in doubt, lean on the utterly classic to craft your winter outerwear rotation. Sailors have trusted the CPO jacket for generations, and this one leans on heavy Melton wool on the outside and rich plaid flannel on the inside. This option from the expertly crafted in-house brand at Bespoke Post can be layered with ease atop a chambray shirt or thermal henley without missing a beat, while oversized buttons and a cozy inner lining cement the perfect blend of form and function. $158
Todd Snyder Italian Wool-Cashmere Peacoat
There’s a reason military styles have their place in the world of modern menswear: These silhouettes are utterly functional, including the timeless peacoat. This one gets a luxurious finish in handsome Italian wool and cashmere. And like all things Todd Snyder, it’s perfectly well-suited for occasions both more rugged and refined: It even features throwback touches like button cuffs at the sleeves, not to mention toasty handwarmer pockets. This handsome peacoat might seem like a splurge on paper, but there’s nothing quite like discovering the right fusion of Italian wool and cashmere. $898
Fieldworth Herringbone Field Coat
The field coat gains some serious heft with a lengthier cut, a hard-working three-piece hood, a quilted lining and a throwback garment-washed fabric exterior. The results blend streetwear edge with military heritage. This jacket also happens to be another winning number from an under-the-radar in-house brand at Bespoke Post. The company’s gear now meets the tricky middle ground between the city and the country, doing so in a fashion that resembles Engineered Garments, at least as far as this tasteful modern update to the field jacket is concerned. $198
Relwen Quilted Insulated Tanker Jacket
The puffer jacket is all grown up, with a design that nods to military heritage and streamlines the fit and fabrication of the OG puffer. Note the plethora of both zip and snap pockets, plus useful finishing touches like a drawcord waist for ideal coverage when winter’s worst weather hits. The quilted inner lining also packs a serious punch in terms of warmth without overdoing things in matters of bulk or jacket weight. It certainly seems that there’s not a scenario this jacket can’t handle, from apres-ski drinks to snowy winter excursions aplenty. Pair with faded black jeans, a henley and moc toe boots for best results. $318
Todd Snyder x Woolrich Buffalo Check Work Jacket
Acclaimed menswear designer Todd Snyder has lately been putting his own spin on the heritage stylings of Woolrich, taking the brand down the runways in Italy. And yet, this Buffalo plaid work jacket is nothing but an all-American classic with a luxe fabrication, complete with an iconic black-and-red check design. Note functional design details like slanted hip pockets, plus a foldover collar for crucial protection in blustery winter weather. The fact that it can be teamed with Snyder’s wool trousers or the designer’s perfectly crafted Japanese denim is nothing short of exceptional. $1,400
