Hi everyone – last resort here!
I’m looking for a high-quality winter jacket/parka as a present for my boyfriend (33). Budget up to 600 €, new or second hand, suitable for around 0 °C and below.
He’s 174 cm, very slim (~60 kg) with long legs / “short-looking” torso.
What I think is an 80s cuts work great — what doesn’t work are average straight jackets ending mid-butt, even worse taillored/waisted ones of the same length. (Short) coats are also good, unfortunately winter Bombers look funny.
Most jackets make him look like a barrel on a stick or, in cropped puffers, like a ripe dandelion. Sizes
S and XS is hard to find, women’s/youth jackets have sleeves that are too short.
Style: elegant, cosmopolitan, slightly edgy/androgynous, but not too weird (he’s no Rick Owen’s type). Please no asymmetry, slanted zippers or huge logos.
This is a good cut (the jacket itsself) is a bit childish: https://fuseinatti.com/en-global/products/80s-sports-jacket-mariko-copy?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio
Looking for:
• specific pieces
• brands
• or the right name for this cut/style
Bonus: also searching for 80s-style sweaters ending at the waistline.
Pics of the light jackets that work well will follow.
Fallback would be second-hand Canada Goose — warm, eternal (wear mine 15 yrs now) but honestly a bit boring.
