A winter mainstay: the men’s outer jackets or bubble jacket is the perfect fashion accessory for colder weather. Whether you’re wearing it for fashion, for comfort or simply to throw over to protect your outfit, there’s no question that a men’s jacket is a real fashion staple with real practical benefits.

Keeping warm doesn’t mean you have to go on full-on skiwear. A lightweight jacket is perfect for September through to the deepest of Winters, and it’s a practical tool for layering up, pairing with a tee, all whilst providing a sleek, slim silhouette which isn’t too bulky.
The 883 Police Voyd Jacket, for example, is a lightweight funnel jacket featuring a high-standing funnel neck, a front zip fastening, long sleeves and relaxed fit. These types of jackets are easily worn with jeans, fleece and trainers for a more casual look or paired over office wear when visiting the office during colder weather. For a weekend country trip vibe, why not pair with a casual shirt, jeans and chukka boots?

Though previously reserved for the upper and middle classes, men’s gilets have come back with a bang and it’s not least in part due to their everyday essentials restyle – suitable as outerwear before heading to the gym, or running errands.
A laidback look, the gilet is a superb transitional jacket as the padding is designed to regulate your body temperature whilst the exposed arms – keeping you warmer than a waistcoat would but still cool enough to enjoy your activity without overheating.
The Blum Jackets from 883 Police are engineered perfectly to suit any size or body shape. Made from a quilted gilet shell the padded jackets include funnel neck, utility pockets, and are made from a high-shine material. Featuring a 100% nylon filling and 100% polyester outer, they’re designed to provide maximum comfort, whilst remaining ultra stylish.
Pair with slouchy joggers and a tee for casual off-duty styles or alternatively layer over a bold, checked casual shirt or casual jumper and jeans to ensure you’re as warm as possible during a brisk, autumnal trip outside.
For those on a budget, the Padding Jacket is an economical alternative.
