Coats & Jackets

A jacket should sit comfortably across the shoulders and chest while leaving enough room to move and for any layers you plan to wear underneath.

Lightweight jackets can often be worn closer to the body, while winter coats and padded jackets usually need more room. Where pit-to-pit measurements are provided, compare them with a jacket you already own and like the fit of rather than relying only on the size label.

Not necessarily. Check the jacket's measurements first and compare them with something you already wear comfortably over a hoodie.

If the style is cut closer to the body, you may want additional room for thicker layers. A roomier padded or winter jacket may already have enough space in your usual size.

A lightweight jacket gives you an outer layer without much insulation and works well in milder weather. A padded jacket uses filling for extra warmth, while a puffer jacket is a padded style with stitched sections that hold the insulation in place and create its familiar padded shape.

Warmth still varies between jackets, so check the filling and product description rather than choosing by the name alone.

FiveFinger Urbanwear stocks men’s jackets from brands including CP Company, Stone Island, Hugo Boss and Emporio Armani, alongside other designer labels.

CP Company and Stone Island are particularly strong choices if you are looking for specialist outerwear, while the wider collection gives you options across lightweight jackets, padded styles, coats and gilets.

A jacket covers the arms and body, making it the better choice when you need fuller protection from colder or wetter weather. A gilet is sleeveless, giving you extra warmth through the body while leaving more freedom of movement.

Gilets work particularly well over hoodies, sweatshirts and knitwear when you want an additional layer without wearing a full jacket.

Browse our men’s gilets and vests to compare sleeveless styles.

Not all designer jackets are waterproof. Some are made primarily for warmth or wind protection, while others use water-resistant or waterproof fabrics designed for wetter conditions.

If rain protection matters to you, check the individual jacket specification rather than assuming that terms such as shell, soft shell or lightweight mean waterproof.

For CP Company specifically, our CP Company Jacket Guide explains the differences between several of its main outerwear materials.

Yes. Reduced men’s designer jackets can be found alongside full-price styles in our coats and jackets collection. Use the On Sale filter to narrow the range to currently reduced jackets and outerwear.
