How to choose a tailored jacket for winter?
Generally speaking, a thick coat or down jacket is necessary when the maximum temperature falls below 13 degrees Celsius, but December, January, and February in Japan are the coldest months of the year when this winter outerwear is required, and using a tailored jacket as outerwear is not realistic from the standpoint of cold protection, no matter how much it is made for winter. It is not practical to use a tailored jacket as an outer layer in terms of warmth. Of course, it is possible to get over the winter cold by wearing a thick sweater, turtleneck, or cardigan, or by using thermal underwear such as inner down jackets, thermal accessories, or HEATTECH. Rather than wearing a tailored jacket, it is better to wear a winter tailored jacket and a winter outerwear such as a coat or down jacket to enjoy a wintery look without looking cold. Here are three points on how to choose a tailored jacket for winter, based on such methods of protection against the cold!
How to choose a tailored jacket for winter: “Choose a material suitable for winter such as flannel, tweed, or corduroy that is well-balanced in terms of volume without being unreasonably matched with winter outerwear.
Whether you use it as an outer layer or add a warm outer layer, the basic rule of thumb is to choose a tailored jacket made of winter fabrics such as thick flannel, tweed, or corduroy. If you choose a tailored jacket that is not suitable for winter, such as thin wool, cotton, polyester, linen, seersucker, or chambray, you will lose the sense of unity of seasonal items and the balance of volume will be unbalanced, and above all, the styling itself will look dowdy and unrefined. The styling itself will look dowdy and unrefined. Adults should be ” sensitive to the season “. It is important to be sensitive to the changing seasons and to choose items that correspond to them.
How to choose a tailored jacket for winter (2) “Maintain dark tones that blend well with other winter items such as black, charcoal gray, navy and dark brown.
For winter tailored jackets, dark tones such as black, charcoal gray, navy, and dark brown, which blend easily with other winter items, are the mainstay. Plain fabrics with little expression are solid, but if you choose winter fabrics with rich textures such as flannel, saxony, tweed, herringbone, and corduroy, you can enjoy wearing dark tones with a warmth and depth unique to winter that is difficult to express in other seasons.
How to choose a tailored jacket for winter (3) “Be aware of the size that fits neatly even if you wear a classic overcoat and does not bulge even if you put a sweater or cardigan inside.
In addition to oversized outerwear, which has been the top “it” item along with wide pants, it is also important to be aware of a size that fits comfortably even when wearing a classic overcoat, and does not bulge out when a wool sweater or cardigan is worn in. Tailored jackets should be worn with the shoulders, and regardless of whether they have shoulder pads or not, they should be the right size so that your shoulders fit securely within the jacket’s shoulders. It is not acceptable to wear loose-fitting jackets like down jackets or MA-1 jackets. It is no exaggeration to say that the necessary and sufficient condition for selecting a tailored jacket for winter is a size that allows you to wear an outer layer without any difficulty and does not make you feel overstuffed depending on the inner layer.
