We’ve made no secret about the fact that buying jackets for fall is one of our favorite decisions of the year. While most decisions are made more difficult by the abundance of choices, we drown happily in the sea of amazing coats and jackets for fall on offer. As such, we’re diving headfirst into the new-season selection of outerwear at Slam Jam.
We’ve picked out 10 jackets that touch every side of the spectrum. From high-end waterproofing by Arc’teryx Veilance through to thick fleece goodness from Sacai, there’s a jacket for every situation. We’ve leaned towards more lightweight iterations, leaving room for a heavier coat for winter. Lightweight jackets are ideal for fall because they allow you to up the layering throughout the season as you move to winter.
Arc’teryx is functioning at the top of its game right now. With the wild success of the recent release of System_A, we’re looking to another of the brand’s side projects. The Range Is Jacket comes from Veilance with a GORE-TEX shell and signature sleekness.
We spoke about the powers of layering already and this Patagonia Down Sweater Jacket is a champion for layering. Thin enough to get a shell over the top but thick enough to be your main jacket on the right day, it does it all.
All the cozy boys, listen up. We’re already calling this the fleece of the season which is quite an accolade. Orange nylon trims border the neutral, heavy fleece torso which features zips to the arms to convert it into a vest.
In classic handmade BODE style, each Monarch Jacket is unique thanks to the handpainted illustration to the reverse.
Wales Bonner’s style is informed by London of the ’70s and this Brixton Varsity Jacket features a classic two-tone leather & denim build to fill out its silhouette.
Carhartt WIP’s tried-and-tested workwear style is a guaranteed win for fall. The durable canvas build can be beaten as hard as you like — it’ll stand strong.
Part hoodie, part bomber jacket, this Nike x Sacai Jacket comes with the signature layers that we’ve come to love about this ongoing partnership.
Levi’s has been making top-level denim pieces since 1853 and the Made & Crafted label is a sign of an increased focus on craftsmanship and materials. What’s more, a denim trucker jacket is likely the most versatile jacket in the modern wardrobe.
You can end up spending a lot of money on technical waterproofs. Taped seams, breathable shells, and the like can rack up hefty prices. Or you can opt for a classic label like Patagonia and get all of that for less than $300.
King of outerwear, Stone Island always finds a way to blend ethereal pastels with perfect engineering. This garment-dyed jacket features direct feather-injected padding for serious insulation when you need it.
