if its not a pocket what is it

love throwing semantic bombs into clothing thread

anoraks vs children which is worse

what if the pocket is on the left side

obvs non of these definitions are set in stone and are complicated by the fact that ~marketing~ is involved but i think if something is called something 90% of the time we cn go w that

it's a mesh vent. I guess it is a pocket in shape but it's not for storage

infographic would help tbh

xp

yrs is some sort of deconstructionist anorak and ur under arrest

xp

lagon has truly "jumped the shark" in this thread

if jumping the shark means knows the definitions of different types of jackets then yes

anorak is also slang for nerd/someone with obsessive interests. you guys are bordering on being anorak anoraks

analraks

hah nice, u know what they call ppl like that in canada "keeners" lol i love that, im an anorak for regional names for geeks xp

no

not funny guys i'm .., anoraksik

srsly wtf is a parka though, like strict definitionwise

hooded thigh length jacket

so if something rests above hips or below knee, it's not a parka?

if its longer it cn still be a parka but those r usually only for ladies or extreme cold

actually jealous of ladies calf length parkas, thats a complete ecosystem

ah nice, thx

and the ones that sit on waist are bombers?

or bomber has no hood?

bomber cannot have a hood

need a complete taxonomy

i always thought bombers had the big elastic at the waist and collar, not sure what u call just a regular ol jacket

why would a pilot wear a hood

and that is the origin of the bomber jacket

atrocious fashion is not confined to practicality

mountain parkas are only waist length

i love sagan

just below the ass is not the waist

lag∞n otm but let's not get distracted from the larger issue which is that mountain parkas are dope

ive owned more than 5 woolrich mountain parkas in my life

holubar reissued the deniro one this year but it's a bit expensive

sierra designs reissued the sagan one about five years ago ... the color is called rust and the jacket is called the short (!) parka ... much more reasonable price point (iirc about $200) but impossible to find now

japanese resellers asking 3 or 4 bills on rakuten but you can still find them cheap on ebay

in fact there's a rust one in XL sitting on ebay right now for $80 ... hmm ... too bad rust's not really my color

this is my "parka", its navy poplin so very light and more reasonable for my climate (70 F today)

i like 60/40 material okay but at the end of the day i'd just rather buy goretex if i am going to spend a lot of money

man alive

that looks like this down coat from uniqlo: https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/men-seamless-down-coat-172993.html

who cares about the precise names for these things

yeah, this is a nice coat. Mine looks more different in person than you might think but I see the similarity. I think my co-worker has the uniqlo one and it's v nice, I initially thought it was a fancier/more expensive coat.

just got this parka: http://www.alphaindustries.com/mens-parkas/alpha-industries-slim-fit-n-3b-parka.htm

loved my bomber so much that i got a longer one with a furry hood

those are nice, super official heavy duty realness, love the navy / orange combination

yeah pretty good quality at a decent price. probably not as warm as a canada goose but more than enough for my needs

military style arctic parka is a mega classic design imo

maroon/orange there is speaking to me

tbh i was torn between navy, maroon, black with black fur, black with brown fur, and sage. ended up going with the classic sage though

I don't know if I've posted this before, but I've considered this:

Or if I'm really cold

feel like if youre gonna go w a super warm jacket u want it to be longer, like that one kinda only makes sense with sno pants

lol xp
