Men’s Parkas with Fur Hoods: The Yves Salomon Guide

A men’s parka with a fur hood is a weatherproof outer jacket with a fur trim around the hood opening, and the Yves Salomon Iconic parka is the reference version: waterproof, windproof technical cotton, a detachable fox trim and a removable sheared rabbit lining, tested to -10C. Yves Salomon launched its Army line of fur-lined parkas in 2005, and the men’s family now spans short and long cuts, coyote and fox trims, and Loro Piana cashmere, all in our men’s coats edit. For fur worn as the whole coat, see our guide to men’s fur coats.

What makes the Yves Salomon parka different?

Most fur hood parkas put fur only around the face. The Yves Salomon approach treats the fur as a lining as well as a trim. On the Iconic Technical Cotton Parka with Fox and Rabbit Fur, a sheared rabbit lining warms the body and the fox trim frames the hood, and both detach. Take the lining out and you have a lighter cotton parka for autumn; zip it back in for deep winter. Down-filled sleeves, raglan shoulders and a waist drawstring complete the build, and a zip under a buttoned flap gives double protection against cold air.

That modularity is the reason people search for Yves Salomon parkas by name. It is one jacket doing the work of two.

Fox and rabbit vs coyote and rabbit: which hood trim?

The lining is the same sheared rabbit on both; the difference is the hood. Fox is glossy and full, with a soft halo that reads polished in the city. Coyote is longer and coarser, with natural banding in grey, beige and brown, and its guard hairs are what give the classic expedition look. Choose fox for a cleaner, dressier line and coyote for a rugged, outdoor feel.

The Long Iconic Technical Cotton Parka with Coyote and Rabbit Fur carries natural coyote on the hood at 90 cm. For a shorter coyote option, the Cotton-Blend Parka with Coyote and Rabbit Fur falls to 78 cm, with both fur details detachable and drawstrings at the hood and hem.

Parka lengths and trims compared

Short vs long: which parka length suits you?

At 77 to 78 cm a parka sits at the upper thigh. It is easier to drive in, cycles comfortably and looks right with jeans and boots. The Short Iconic Waterproof Cotton Parka with Fox and Rabbit Fur is the obvious choice for city commuters.

At 90 cm the parka covers the seat and the top of the thigh, which matters in wind and wet. It also layers over tailoring without the jacket hem peeking out. At 101 cm, the Long Cotton-Blend Parka with Fox and Rabbit Fur Lining reaches the knee on most men and works as a full winter coat. Taller men, above 185 cm, often find the 90 cm cut the most balanced.

Luxury fabrics: Loro Piana cashmere and technical wool

For men who want the parka shape in a finer cloth, the Short Loro Piana Cashmere Parka with Long-Haired Mink Liner uses 100% Loro Piana cashmere with a triple membrane for weather protection. A removable press stud liner brings long-haired mink to the hood interior and front bib. The Short Waterproof Wool Parka with Long-Haired Mink Liner follows the same idea in water-resistant technical wool at 77 cm, with a down-filled liner and a Furmark label.

If you prefer shearling to fur, the Long Waterproof Wool-Blend Parka with Shearling Hood lines its hood and visor in lambskin shearling, with down and feather fill, at 90 cm. For pure down without the cotton shell, see our guide to luxury down jackets for men.

Sizing and care

Yves Salomon men’s pieces run true to size, so take your usual size; size up only if you plan to wear a heavy blazer underneath. Check the Yves Salomon men’s size guide for the FR conversion. Detach the fur trim and lining before any cleaning of the cotton shell, and send fur components to a fur specialist. Between seasons, store the parka on a broad hanger in a breathable cover, away from heat and light.

Frequently asked questions

Yves Salomon launched its Army line of fur-lined parkas in 2005. The Iconic technical cotton parka on Coveti follows the same idea, with a removable fur lining and a detachable fur hood trim.

Is a coyote fur parka warmer than fox?
