Men's jackets and vests

Pre-owned men's jackets and vests, from canvas work jackets and bomber jackets to quilted jackets, puffers and gilets.

Work jackets and chore coats

Work jackets are made from heavy cotton canvas or denim, with metal zips or buttons and reinforced seams. The Carhartt Detroit jacket has a corduroy collar and a blanket lining, the Active jacket has a hood, and the chore coat closes with buttons and has patch pockets. The models are set side by side in Carhartt jackets compared, and the full range of the brand is under Carhartt jackets.

Bomber, Harrington and field jackets

A bomber jacket has a ribbed collar, cuffs and hem and usually a zip front. The Harrington jacket is a short cotton jacket with a zip, a stand collar and a check lining. A field jacket has four front pockets and a longer cut that covers the hips.

Outdoor jackets, puffers and vests

Outdoor jackets are made for the weather. Shell jackets keep out wind and rain, fleece jackets add warmth as a middle layer, and puffer jackets are filled with down or a synthetic insulation. A vest, also called a gilet or bodywarmer, keeps the body warm and leaves the arms free, and it comes padded, quilted, in fleece or in canvas. Winter models are compared in winter jackets compared.

Size and measurements

A jacket is worn over other layers, so the room it needs depends on what goes underneath. Comparing those measurements with a jacket that is worn the same way works better than the size on the label. The method is explained in the guide to measuring pit to pit.

Longer outerwear is under men's coats, and jackets for everyone are under jackets and vests. Men's jackets by brand are on the pages for Carhartt, Burberry, The North Face and Patagonia, and the women's range is under women's jackets and vests.
