The buyer's brief

How to choose

What we weigh before a men's designer jacket earns a place in this edit.

01

Heritage or fashion-led

Barbour and Burberry lead on heritage and tailoring. Amiri is fashion-led streetwear, Acne the minimalist design pick.

02

Where to start

A Barbour waxed jacket or a Burberry wool coat is the most versatile first buy. Add a statement or minimalist piece after that.

03

Weather

Waxed cotton handles real weather but needs upkeep. Wool reads smartest. Choose by where and how you will wear it.

04

Branding

Barbour and Acne are understated. Burberry carries the check, Amiri the bold streetwear branding.

05

Investment

A Barbour or Burberry classic lasts years and earns its keep. The statement pieces are the second buy.

Good to know

Answered
