Which Designers/Companies Make the Best Jackets?

[Serge d Nimes]

That is such a strang question. What type? sport, mountaineering, denim, wind breaker?

Live is too short for bad denim!

[SuperCassette]

All across the board:

For finish:

Brioni

Hussein Chalayan

For rain:

Balenciaga

Mountain Equipment Co-op

For Snowboarding:

Burton

Volcom

Windbreakers:

Hugo Boss

Luxe but Sportive:

Y-3

Bombers:

Bruno Magli

[wokka da 9 milla]

north face

viktor & rolf

[sr20det]

snowboarding jackets:

- burton/analog

- volcom

- 686

I was a target cause I'm a fashion misfit

and the outfit that I'm wearing brothers dissing it

[futuretalk]

what's with this sudden surge of threads with questions like "who design's the best jacket/Jeans/underwear/panties/lingerie/sneakers/t-shirt/hoodie?"

Why not someone ask who designs the best dildo or rubber pussy or something? that'd would be a better question as it's pretty straightforward. Whereas with clothes it's too vague! What's your style? what kinda look do u prefer? do u care a lot about quality, do u like radical loud designs etc......

To keep you warm, a Canada Goose ..

what do people recommend in long coats? not snowboarding, or rain wear. Something like a pea coat...

[won ton destruction]

ACRONYM.

I dont think there is such thing as the best peacoat and such, you really have to try them on I mean...they could be the best, but who knows it might not suit you?

But so far, I like Gucci the most.

acronym..no doubt

[krush021]

acronym is extremely nice, but so expensive...although i did just but a prada hooded zip up so i guess i'll quit talking shit. the best waterproof/ cold weather jacket that i have ever owned is arc' teryx...blows north face out of the water.

RHFIV

[krush021]

For long coats I think you should go with a trench. I personally like YSL but Cloak also makes a really dope trenchcoat too.

[sassafras]

6876 make nice jackets.

Silas jackets are alright.

Supreme sometimes make cool jackets.

Acronym? cool but overpriced.

Stussy jackets are fine if only they would resist the temptation to print the stussy logo everywhere...

I'm also a fan of Penfield windbreakers.

[rhythmandsound]

The ultra-hi-tek approach Acronym is taking is novel, but I can't really relate to the end product. Altho I haven't seen the stuff in person (and the pics on their site are almost worthless), everything just seems to have way too much of a 'techno' look to it...futuristic fonts and logos that somehow already look dated. Their snowboarding background comes thru too hard or something. And some of the stuff just looks over-the-top: pleated knees? Heard they were maybe linked in with German military technology or something? I like how a lot of it has a military bent: i just think it would come off better if stuff just was a bit more basic tho, less logos, etc... just my 2 cents...

btw Spiewak makes most of Supreme's winter jackets...lots of sick stuff from them over the years...

[Brienneoftarth]

will acronym be on sale anywhere in the states?

[superposition]

downwithianbrown : check out http://www.the-glade.com/brands/acronym/acronym.html

They have some stuff there but pretty limited I guess.

[Blanc0]

Recon in NY and SF both carry Acronym, I believe they are the only retailers in the US. Acronym does hold some military contracts for design. I believe he (Errolson) has also done stuff for the SAS and also US military.

I think ACR is the cream of the crop. Just picked up my 4th jacket, and I must say it's lovely, really digging the jacket-sling, quite functional, actually. My favorite is the cashmere/gore tex jacket.

[yons1]

NORTHFACE hands down...

[bargecharge]

I agree with Sassafras on 6876 - the best jackets around, imo. See:

www.6876.com

www.hanon-shop.com

[FRESH]

The Illest Jacket ever is the "Head Porter x Junya watanabe x Goretex jacket. carve carries this jacket in black. The quality and avant garde of the jacket is craaazy. The ultimate survival jacket. If i was rich. I would rock this allday everyday...

that acronym stuff looks amazing but way out of my price range, I'm just a college student. although I graduate in the spring and am movinbg to colorado, maybe I'll get one for the winters out there.

I have to agree.

While I appreciate Acronyms innovative use of materials and the whole concept behind the brand I really feel the finished product from a design standpoint just looks like a dated tech jacket with a rather bulky fit.
