DOWN

Ranging from streamlined minimalism to exaggerated play on proportion and color, luxury designers' varied selection of men’s down jackets, coats, and vests offer versatile options to complete any ensemble. Practical coverage meets with bold, technical design to produce the many style iterations within this season’s collection of menswear down. Lightweight, quilted technical satin jackets retain their protective value through all the seasons, while long down-filled parkas provide coverage in more extreme conditions. The down jacket model includes mindful design to suit the likes of a cold weather sports enthusiast or streetwear connoisseur. Surprising design elements like calfskin or fur trim add texture to water-repellent fabrics, while a polyurethane-coated finish lends to a contemporary glossy appearance. Utilitarian details such as press-release buckle straps, carry handles, or Velcro fastenings offer an adjustable and convertible appeal representing the futuristic form of outerwear. No longer restricted to a monochromatic palette, down-filled pieces appear in muted pastels or bold colors ensuring a vibrant disposition despite a dull climate. Jackets inspired by Alpine-ski culture, Alaskan rescue squadrons, or the urban explorer result in innovative styles that include high-tech components to produce outerwear that is both distinguishable and highly functional.
