Great piece of kit. Not a fad, and essential for cold Canadian winters. Remember my father and his friends wearing these on the ski hill in the early 70’s.
Try a little harder. This is not general style advice on puffers, but rather how the puffer is seen in a specific context. Fashion is all about perspective, and this here is just one perspective among other.
I've worn puffer jackets in years past but decided on a Filson wool and tin cloth hooded jacket this year. Stylish and functional in a rustic sort of way.
My take on puffer jackets is that they are juvenile and unflattering, I am a Husky fellow and I look like as you compaired it to the Stay Puffed Marshmallow man. I tried having one when I was younger but I ended up looking like a basketball with legs. If I want a shorter jacket I will stick to my Barbour.
Most puffer jackets I’ve had have actually not been waterproof. If you buy a puffer from a fashion brand, usually it won’t be. It’s the more technical brands that offer waterproof versions, and those usually are comparable in price with a nice overcoat. Personally, I do have a puffer jacket which I use more for utility than for looking stylish.
You layer them. Wear a down jacket with a waterproof shell over it. Keeps you warm and dry. None of these mentioned alternatives come close. if you're in a cold and wet country.
They're functional - good ones really do work well. I think keep them for activewear/practicalwear. However, opt for something else in more formal situations.
I love that we have finally come to a consensus on Raphael's Duffle Coat, and I couldn't agree more! The Duffle Coat reminds me of another garment that French colonists brought to Canada, called the Capote. It was made from a wool blanket, it had a hood, closed with a belt, and covered down to past the knee. In Western Canada, the settlers began making Capotes from blankets that had designs traditional to the native peoples. This was done to embrace the natives' culture, in an effort differentiate themselves from the United States and Great Britain, who did not appear to have any intention of doing the same. In Boy Scouts, there are some chapters of an honor society that uses the Capote for camping and ceremonies! I still have my Capote, and I usually wear it with a Smart-Casual ensemble but when I go to the mountain, I definitely wear it skiing!
The alternative is to go with Norwegian Wool which is more classic on the outside but slim-fitting puffer coat on the inside. Prices are up in the stratosphere.
Really good, they’re easy to throw over a shirt or hoodie, whenever it’s really cold I just keep mine on even when I enter buildings as I really don’t have the time to take it off.
You wouldn't take a smoking jacket to Mt Everest and you wouldn't wear a puffer to dinner... But there's nothing wrong with any of these, providing you have some tact and common sense.
I would agree its more essential for cold weather especially when out in the country or mountains! My Superdry Everest Jacket Hoodie is incredibly to keep me warm in the coldest of weathers! It has so far kept me warm and dry will find out if its as Superdry as they mention when it starts raining heavily at the end of autumn! Puffer jackets were never look as good as a classic Long Coat or Trench Coat,thats a given! I do recommend Superdry for Puffer jackets they are cut so well that I have a number of their jackets over the years. P.S Love the horrible puns such a British thing to do to get a reaction! Well done Gents.
There is no other coat out there of any material that can do whatever those down coats and jackets can. They are able to keep you warm and light at the same time. You can also find some pieces made of woolen outer shell that can level up your outfit to more formal. So, those jackets, as long as they don’t have crazy patterns or bold colors, they are definitely business appropriate. Italians wear them over suits all the time, and if we’re talking about menswear, the Italians know better
I view them as a non-compromise stay warm no matter what type of thing. They might not be super fashionable but not even a heavy wool coat is gonna beat a high end down jacket from brands like Rab or Arcteryx. Also, 2 corrections - Down and feathers are a different thing - down is preffered in jackets As of this day, no synthetic material has beat high performance down in warmth to weight ratio
An essential jacket for Chicago winters along with a quality parka . My The North Face flagship700 fill puffer jacket is still going strong after 8 years it is currently called Men’s 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket .
The puffer will be around for a long time. They are warm, lightweight and comfortable. The skyliner is a classic in men’s outdoor clothing in my opinion.
So glad I got a puffer jacket/down jacket. Been a life saver in the cold weather and in the hot weather also as it keeps me cool. Glad I paid the extra for true duck feathers than the synthetic stuff. I can't stand duck filled duvets though.
The puffer is a great casual jacket, and one I believe is here to stay. They are functional, and the easiest coat I have ever owned to transport (in luggage or stuffed in a briefcase without harming the look when you take it out). But I would never combine one with a formal outfit.
The good stuff generally has a good warmth to weight ratio. Some brands have a slimmer cut. I wear this when it's cold and I'm moving a lot. Fashion is out the window at this point.
I found a wool peacoat with a button-up collar, worn with a sweater underneath, did the job through a winter in Quebec City. I always thought the shiny puffers look like sewn garbage bags lol
I actually wanna use this jacket to act as a "muscle suit" to make my body look bigger because I'm "skin and bones" skinny. 😅 Helps a lot for cold weather 🥶
The 'Puffa' jacket, as averse to a 'puffer' jacket, was very stylish and de rigueur for any who lived a country lifestyle in the UK from the late 70's onwards, usually in a navy blue, also a particularly fetching pinstripe for ladies, very warm, very durable and very, very, fashionable, no idea if they were the original down jacket but they were very good.
I used to think they were terrible looking. But grew reeeeeal fond of them when I moved to a cold-weather climate. They’re still not my favorite, but they definitely grew on me on practicality alone.
Even with the explosion of casual fashion...I don't think anybody could ever pull off a puffer coat. But they're functional so they'll be around for a very long time.
I have a very long Polo Ralph Lauren down coat in black. It looks very stylish with a suit, blazer or tux. I realize that this garment is an exception to the rule.
No matter the quality, a wool top coat can't handle weather under 0C. I have been looking for years for a puffer coat long enough to reach below the knee, so I can wear over my suits, and finally found some options this year. Will probably order from Superdry. Now, I am still searching for tall stylish winter boots so I can walk through 25cm of snow, but unfortunately, there is still no option for men, unless Bogs are considered stylish... Will probably order Bogs also - to go with my suit of course. When it is under 20C, all I care is being warm.
OMG... thank god I ordered from eBay my double breasted wool coat before this video came out :) I sure that there is an eBay bump with your videos. I was looking for boot for a while, but after the video came out everything was bought up on eBay
What are your thoughts on Bomber Jackets or would you consider them more street wear instead of classic? They can look good with button down shirts rather than just a t shirt but anyways fascinating insight as always. Hope you all enjoy your weekend.
Maybe as a thin layer if you are hunting / riding motorcycle in winter, but never on top. This is as wearing runners if you are not on a track or Bermudas in a church or a restaurant.
I’m in dubio in puffer jackets. I very much prefer the looks of a classic coat, but puffer jackets are soooooooo convenient because they combine warmth with an incredible lightness. My tweed overcoat weighs a ton. So I wish someone would invent a good looking one. I think they’re here to stay, for the convenience alone. Then again, in my country all middle aged men seem to wear them, that is bound to provoke a backlash 😃
Evening y’all. I been watching some videos about etiquette and I found a question which I hope you can help me answering. I always try to be kind and courteous, also very respectful, but how a gentleman should act with people which is extremely disrespectful? My personal example are schoolmates, and they can do things from not saying hello, to making very awkward and unkind questions and actions towards me with the purpose of making me or other people to feel bad or uncomfortable. I would be glad if you help me with this, a moment of learning to both of us. Always a gentleman, Noe R
Thanks for your time and for giving me an answer. I will be checking this guide. And also, thanks for your help in general, thanks for showing me how to be a gentleman, you guys changed my life for good
Dear gentlemen of Gentleman's Gazette, first I want to thank you for your videos, they help me a lot! I like to dress up, but I have a color understanding problem, even after I watched many of your videos. I'm not color blind, I just lack a basic understanding of how color combinations work. I don't wear suits, but I like to combine blazers with pants, shirts & ties, however not knowing the right color combinations I often make mistakes. Could you make a video of odd combinations for those of us who have a similar problem? I'd like to hear more on how odd combinations, colors, materials and patterns combine well, it would help me a lot to see different examples suggested by you. Thank you.
We're always happy to help! This is a great place to start for color matching: www.gentlemansgazette.com/how-to-use-the-color-wheel-to-assemble-superior-outfits/?
@@krunoslavkovacec1842 vidio sam, puno toga sam pogledao, no meni treba onako kao mulcu: navy hlace idu uz sivi sako, uz to ide bijela kosulja, navy kravata i complementary pocket square i tako dalje, sto vise objasnjenih kombinacija tim bolje. Mada, ima dosta toga u videima, da se pokupiti nesto, samo treba dosta vremena :)
@@zorankojcic Samo gledaj na onaj kotač boja. Boje koje su jedna nasuprot druge i one koje su tik jedna do druge idu dobro zajedno. Također, ako je neka boja koju nosiš sekundarna (nastala mješanjem dvaju boja) onda uz to odlično idu primarne boje od koje je nastala ta boja. (Sivo odijelo, bijela košulja i đepni rupčić i crne cipele i kravata npr.) Kod đepnih rupčića gledaj da povučeš (boju/boje kkje se nalaze u outfitu). Tipa, sa sivim sakoom i navy hlačama i bijelom košuljom super ide bijeli, plavi rupčić; sivi ne toliko jer će se "utopiti" u sakou.
I think the explostion in popularity is tied with the increase with bikers on the road (specifically scooter riders). I mean from experience, most people who wear puffer jackets are either kids or bikers on a budget
I can't speak for the USA but here in Australia, one only has to look at the people who wear them to see they are a winter trend that will probably be replaced by something else next winter. I wouldn't be caught dead in one...
Perhaps consider something like the Dale of Norway Polarwind Lined Wind Stopper New Wool Sweater? Puffer jackets are a practical clothing item designed for more extreme cold weather conditions, not classic menswear in my opinion.
I'll diasgree here. Heavy sweater over button down with denim and a pair of good boots. Throw a matte finish insulated vest (NOT a plastic shiny thing) and THAT is a classic as we all accept. My father and grandfather wore this combination in the 60s and 70s and I have since the 80s.
Aha as long as we can have our own chooise , and be happy with what comes in the way, snowstorms, rain, preper for the unexpected, I love my Canada goose, I might have to wear it in doors this winter
I have always found puffer jackets just, uncompromisingly terrible. It mostly depends on the width of the quilting, the smaller rolls the better, but oh my lord do they look bad. Even as a little kid I wouldn't wear them lol.
I lean more towards what I call a street prep aesthetic and even I think puffer jackets of all types just look horrible. It’s the main reason I found this video so I could understand why they even exist.
Evertherm down will change "puffers" forever. my Evertherm looks like a lightweight shell, keeps me warm in sub-zero. this tech could easily infiltrate formalwear.
Agree that the puffer is a trend, and I can't wait until it passes. Unless one is headed for polar climes the puffer, by appearance and utility, are on a par with mittens on strings.
The problem is that most puffers look like a trash bags. It's getting really hard to find an elegant puffer (they exist). Too bad most well-made 5lb+ pure wool overcoats are north of 2k
I think you kinda proved your self wrong with that outfit in the end. The smart boots, unwashed jeans and clean shirt, dressed up the puffer just right making it a great casual yet classic look.
Effective for cold they are indeed, for its initial intended purpose, casual or sportive wear they can great, but I must say that I'm not a fan of the "Michelin Man" look. For formal or more elegant wear people should choose other jackets as shown in the video.
I think there should be one of these for each person aboard your vessel, and should be international orange in color, with your ship's name stenciled on it.
@@johnroberts1141 Functionality beats fashion every time. If you need that warmth, go for it, wear a puffer. Doesn't change that they're not pretty to look at and many of the puffer jackets don't look good when worn.
Puffer jackets are perfectly fine for casual wear or actual outdoors activities in cold weather. That being said, they look entirely inappropriate with business wear. Few things look as out of place as a puffer jacket worn over a business suit.
Not timeless, actually I’d only wear it underneath a more traditional coat for warmth at this point. Over here the Puffer had it’s time from 2016 till last Winter, but this Fall we’re back over to peacoats and the like. You can’t really do the Letterman anymore either, it’s not the same
A puffer and a nice shirt just does not seem to match up to me, looks lazy. A puffer to the football or walking the dog, no worries. Love the videos gents keep up the good work
Haven't watched the whole video yet (may do later when I'm home) but I scrolled to the end and am pleased you said trend. Caveat (which you may have explained earlier on, I don't know?) is it depends what you mean by a puffer jacket. The big anorak type of coat I'd say is timeless and will carry on. However many of the other iterations like the compact waste length down (or loft) filled shortie jackets that have been around in abundance in last few years are surely a trend (and may even be on their way out already)
Timeless, but definitely only for casual use. A shirt and tie with a puffer jacket always reminds me of security guards outside of clubs or parking attendants.
My older duffel coat wears heavily underneath the toggels. Is there some alternative to that part of the duffle? Just seems like the puffer jacket is a pleasant way to get out around that irksome issue with duffle coats.
I don't like them at all. My ex once tried to get me to replace my good old British Rail guardsman's greatcoat with one. It served me well through the Mongolian winter and does not need replacing.
Whenever I see a Puffer jacket I think of that old Wu Tang music video where they are all in an abandoned building. Just not the look in going for, much more classy ways to stay warm
It’s definitely Not Classic, but it’s not going away anytime soon either best I can think. I’ll put the jacket in the timeless category, though it’s not classic.
I think they're classic and appropriate for their intended use which is casual, active wear in cold weather.
But not as a replacement for formal wear.
absolutely. its one thing if you are hiking. but i personally think it looks awful on business casual+ ensembles.
Great piece of kit. Not a fad, and essential for cold Canadian winters. Remember my father and his friends wearing these on the ski hill in the early 70’s.
I love getting style advice on casual clothes from people who don’t wear casual clothes
They were casual clothes. They have a whole video on picking out a good pair of jeans
Try a little harder.
This is not general style advice on puffers, but rather how the puffer is seen in a specific context. Fashion is all about perspective, and this here is just one perspective among other.
I've worn puffer jackets in years past but decided on a Filson wool and tin cloth hooded jacket this year. Stylish and functional in a rustic sort of way.
Those vintage parkas and puffers worn by mountaineers of old are very cool and stylish.

You can find streamlined versions.

Timeless or trend, they are handy to have. I would rather have one for outdoor activities than with suit and tie.
They are a timeless casual classic.
Yes because we wear it so often. Just like men thought motorcycle jackets were a fad, and they ended up being a timeless style.
If you get them to fit right, not bulky, they look really good fashion wise and are light and comfortable. I love my puffers.
Really good, they’re easy to throw over a shirt or hoodie, whenever it’s really cold I just keep mine on even when I enter buildings as I really don’t have the time to take it off.
You wouldn't take a smoking jacket to Mt Everest and you wouldn't wear a puffer to dinner...

Hey, Kyle thanks for breaking down the proper ways to include a puffer jacket into our attire much appreciated! The trend here today is gone tomorrow.
“Save the Duck” is the best I have found - fit, function, style outstanding!
In Italy, puffer jacket is like a fifth season between fall and winter.
So glad I got a puffer jacket/down jacket. Been a life saver in the cold weather and in the hot weather also as it keeps me cool. Glad I paid the extra for true duck feathers than the synthetic stuff. I can't stand duck filled duvets though.
As someone who has been looking to get in fashion your channel has been extremely helpful I always look out for your videos.

Lol, fashion is never out the window.
I found a wool peacoat with a button-up collar, worn with a sweater underneath, did the job through a winter in Quebec City.
I always thought the shiny puffers look like sewn garbage bags lol
It's a Trend for a warmer climate living Americans, for us Canadians it's an essential, timeless garment!
I actually wanna use this jacket to act as a "muscle suit" to make my body look bigger because I'm "skin and bones" skinny. 😅
Helps a lot for cold weather 🥶
they'll make your legs look even skinnier 😛
I’m sure some guys can make them work but I look like my mum just bought me a new coat for school. Not a good look!

I'm still wearing my Carhart or Pendleton Wool, with a London Fog raincoat, if it's raining. I found all my coats Dumpsters Diving.
In New England its nice to have a parka for extended times below freezing but otherwise, overcoats do quite well. Just learn to layer people
For me, I would get a blue "Duffle Coat" with a red sou'wester hat with an upturned brim. Our family are big fans of the Paddington Bear movies.
Can we get a “Safari Jacket Timeless or Trend” video? It’s a perfect topic for Kyle given how it leans to the more casual side of things.
Good idea - thanks for your suggestion!
Way better idea than puffer jackets. Jesus.

I personally feel puffer jackets belong in the casual or outdoor sports arena. If you're going classic wear stick with the tweeds and wool.
I think the explostion in popularity is tied with the increase with bikers on the road (specifically scooter riders). I mean from experience, most people who wear puffer jackets are either kids or bikers on a budget

Effective for cold they are indeed, for its initial intended purpose, casual or sportive wear they can great, but I must say that I'm not a fan of the "Michelin Man" look. For formal or more elegant wear people should choose other jackets as shown in the video.
I think there should be one of these for each person aboard your vessel, and should be international orange in color, with your ship's name stenciled on it.
Oh god, the Mr.Michelin coats
“”puffa” Jackets in the UK were originally worn by horse riders in winter.
Originally made popular by horse riders and then mastered by the roadman. 😆
I don't think that puffer jackets look good on anyone. However, they are probably here to stay. Quilted jackets look much better to me.
Quitled jackets look classier
Not as warm
@@johnroberts1141 Functionality beats fashion every time.
If you need that warmth, go for it, wear a puffer. Doesn't change that they're not pretty to look at and many of the puffer jackets don't look good when worn.
I hate puffer jackets on both men and women…I’d go with a nice wool coat anytime.
Thank you Derrick Lewis
It's good to wear walking in the woods, toboganning, or raking the yard that's about it.
are pufer jacket and overcoat are the same thing or different???
A puffer jacket is essential for really cold weather. Nobody should wear one formally (ie. suit). Its just casual wear for the elements!
Don't really like puffer jacket, but I live in Arctics, and if I want to stay alive during a wintertime I need to wear it
The Mans dem down in Essex know this a the thing you done know
Puffer jackets are perfectly fine for casual wear or actual outdoors activities in cold weather. That being said, they look entirely inappropriate with business wear. Few things look as out of place as a puffer jacket worn over a business suit.
Not timeless, actually I’d only wear it underneath a more traditional coat for warmth at this point. Over here the Puffer had it’s time from 2016 till last Winter, but this Fall we’re back over to peacoats and the like. You can’t really do the Letterman anymore either, it’s not the same
*maybe 2014 at the earliest, I don’t really remember
A puffer and a nice shirt just does not seem to match up to me, looks lazy. A puffer to the football or walking the dog, no worries. Love the videos gents keep up the good work
Haven't watched the whole video yet (may do later when I'm home) but I scrolled to the end and am pleased you said trend. Caveat (which you may have explained earlier on, I don't know?) is it depends what you mean by a puffer jacket. The big anorak type of coat I'd say is timeless and will carry on. However many of the other iterations like the compact waste length down (or loft) filled shortie jackets that have been around in abundance in last few years are surely a trend (and may even be on their way out already)
Looking forward to hearing more when you've watched the video! :)
Timeless, but definitely only for casual use. A shirt and tie with a puffer jacket always reminds me of security guards outside of clubs or parking attendants.
i just think they're cool and good for winter. lol
My older duffel coat wears heavily underneath the toggels. Is there some alternative to that part of the duffle? Just seems like the puffer jacket is a pleasant way to get out around that irksome issue with duffle coats.
Didn't Eddie Bauer make warm clothes for WWII aircrews?
Just a trend
The construction of a puffer jacket is less durable and normally built poorly for workwear
As a plus size person, I never liked this style. Layering is a better option.
On the other hand, my tall lean nephew carries it off well.
Classic. I sell clothes for a living and almost nothing is more desirable in terms of outerwear than a vintage north face down puffer jacket.
I don't like them at all. My ex once tried to get me to replace my good old British Rail guardsman's greatcoat with one. It served me well through the Mongolian winter and does not need replacing.
Whenever I see a Puffer jacket I think of that old Wu Tang music video where they are all in an abandoned building. Just not the look in going for, much more classy ways to stay warm
It’s definitely Not Classic, but it’s not going away anytime soon either best I can think. I’ll put the jacket in the timeless category, though it’s not classic.
Do you know the brand boggi milano? Do they offer a good quality for the price?
