Any reccomendations for a good-all purpose jacket? (1 Viewer)

[Deathless]

hey

Does anyone have any reccomendations on a good outerwear that can be used for a lot of purposes? I was thinking of buying something like that Track Hooded Vest Sweat Long Sleeve - Mens Sweats Mens Hoodies Denim Jeans Online Shop | G-STAR till I realised the price for the shitty quality (at the shop), so does anyone have any reccomendations? Something not too thick but not too thin?

thanks

Try ASOS.

They usually have a fairly good assortment of men's jackets.

Leather is always good, if you can/want to afford the price tag.

I got a really nice, plain leather jacket at Roger David for $244, down from $349 last week.

Basically regardless of the fabric, be prepared to pay if you want quality.

Anything from Giordano, Roger David, Connor, G STAR, Industrie, maybe even Jeans West will be good quality. If you want it to last maybe avoid places like Jay Jays that are cheap but fall apart very quickly.

Pretty good online clothing shop.

Remember it's in pounds, though.

personally I think that gstar one is awful but if that's the kind of style you like try general pants or check out super-dry store at the Galleries Victoria

haha yuck, gstar is terrible, overpriced rubbish worn pretty much exclusively by dirty sydney/melbourne lebs

there was an amazing leather jacket in paddington vinnies yesterday for $50 if you're quick itll still be there

youre welcome buddy

yes plenty of good cheap jackets out there in op shops. but if you are too lazy to go look then topman

If you wanna by a jacket like that G-star one, go for a Nike windbreaker (idk the model name, but googling will show you the ones with the 'V'-shape). 95% sure they're less than $220.

Just curious, do they claim to be authentic leather, or is it just leather by name?


OP, if you wanna invest in a lifesaving leather jacket (cowhide, maybe other animals), I can show you. So far it is known to resist vicious dog bites.

Yeh Nike is good too.

Love G-STAR on guys

 

[bio_nut]

Um, Nike is not good unless you like fucking lads.

edit: just looked at the jacket picture, it's fucking ugly, looks like he might actually like your suggestion

that g-star jacket is horrendous, they have a lot better stuff than that, really expensive though

i reckon a hoodie/cardie combo jacket that you can get these days, they should keep you relatively warm and looks good as well

i think you can get something like that at cotton on or something


that or a really structured heavyish jacket

 

[Deathless]

Thanks for all the help

But I wasn't really looking at a leather jacket, though I am interested now. Paddington is a bit far, but maybe after my exams (I have exams now) I'll go take a look.

@ bio_nut
Why such hatred? Hatred is bad, have you already forgotten 'belonging'?
I'm actually looking at something more like a windbreaker that can be used besides rainy and windy days. I need something which I can wear before and after sport but also casually on some other days?

Thanks for all the help

*P.S. Topman is quite good, I bought heaps of their stuff when I was in Singapore because there was like a 50% sale and also you don't have to pay any delivery fees. Some of their stuff is crap though, a jacket I bought from it and used only a few times, already looks like its been worn for years (and I tried keeping it in good condition).

 

[postnatal]

umm clothing that ages just looks better over the years imo

 

[Deathless]

Yes, but only to some extent...

 

[SDES]

Yeah, you don't want a jacket that has cotton pilling all over it...

Only really works for leather and selvedge denimz = $$$$

 

[Guesss]

lmao yeh.

My jeans have like 'aged' over the months into a sxc lighter colour then wen i first bought them.
