Quilted Jackets

Chavs wear them now if you mean the black ones ? but only ones i'd even look at are Barbour.
 
quilted jackets are a fine example of the fashion industry driving down quality to boost profit margains even further. Not long ago a fashionable jacket would have been made from good quality wool, with a high standard of construction, often hand made. Now, you have two sheets of polyester and a sheet of cotton wool run through a giant sowing machine and then folded into a vague body like shape, being sold at places like barbour for hundreds of pounds.
 
I got a superdry winter jacket a few years ago it was rubbish not even water proof. So I bought a goretex Craghoppers like Bear Grylls. I have never been wet since and I can also drink my own **** now. Excellent.
 
Diamond quilted jackets, they are so Morrison's staff Uniform.

My preferred shop for clothes is John Lewis, not the cheapest but generally good stuff.

Are you living in the 1940's?
 
They look stupid and everybody wears them. That's enough of reason to never ever wear one.

Just get a nice puffer jacket instead. At least that will actually keep you warm and won't look stupid.
 
Rather than me starting another thread, can anyone recommend a jacket for me? I'm struggling and need one for the weekend.

£45 or less.
Length down to the waist.
Black.
Warm but not too heavily padded. Don't want to feel like a mummy. :)
No heavily visible logos. Can't stand the Bench brand especially plastering their logo over arm, front, back etc.

I've looked at these 'quilted' coats and every man and his dog seem to have them. I don't even like them yet I nearly ordered a Kangol one earlier. :confused:

I can wear my barbour jacket with a suit or casually, that's not true of many coats.

Pea coat>barbour jacket

Barbour jackets are perfectly acceptable as working clothes, but for middle class desk jockeys they are a no go.
 
Just to be clear, a waxed cotton overcoat remains unchallenged as the wear of any proud Englishman! They stand untainted by chavvy quilt coats

Have a look through winter parkas and M65 jackets on Amazon - should give you some ideas - I went for a black winter parka from Urban Classics but its a bit more than you want to pay.
