Moose Knuckles Men’s Jackets and Coats: Every Style Explained

Moose Knuckles built its name on men’s outerwear, and the range still revolves around three shapes: the bomber, the 3Q and the parka. Every style carries a Warmth Level from 1 to 4, so the real question is how cold your winter gets and how much length you want. Shop them in men’s designer jackets, men’s coats and the Moose Knuckles collection.

Quick answer

• The icon: the Original Ballistic Down Bomber, Level 4.
• The all-rounder: the Original 3Q Down Jacket, Level 4, mid-thigh length.
• The city pick: the Soho Down Bomber and Soho 3Q, Level 3 with a stretch shell.
• The long one: the Gold Series Original Stirling Down Parka, Level 4.

The bombers

The Original Ballistic Down Bomber is the jacket most people picture when they hear the name: waist length, hooded, with a cotton and recycled nylon shell, 800-fill-power down and a Level 4 rating. It comes in seven colourways on Coveti, from black to the Wild print. The Gold Series Original Ballistic adds gold hardware. For a slimmer, lighter option, the Soho Down Bomber has a nylon and elastane shell and graphic quilting at Level 3, and the Kings Down Bomber and Banff Down Bomber are Level 3 too. Read the Ballistic Bomber guide.

The 3Q jackets

The 3Q finishes at mid-thigh and covers more of you without the weight of a parka. The Original 3Q Down Jacket is Level 4 in six colourways, and the Gold Series Original 3Q is its gold-hardware twin. The Soho 3Q, Everest 3Q Down Puffer and Briar 3Q Down Puffer are Level 3. For the statement version, the Northbound Fox Fur and Down 3Q has a removable fox fur hood and 900-fill-power goose down. See the 3Q guide.

The parkas

The Gold Series Original Stirling Down Parka is the longest and warmest men’s style at Level 4. The Original Stirling Down Parka 2.0 is a lighter Level 2 update for city winters. The Everest Down Parka and Banff Down Parka are Level 3, and the Pioneer Fur and Down Parka is fully lined in fox fur for Level 4 warmth. Our Stirling Parka guide compares them.

The puffers

The Everest and Iceberg lines are the brand’s puffers. The Everest Down Jacket is oversized and Level 3, the Kings Reversible Down Puffer turns from a glossy shell to a plush faux-fur side, and the Iceberg Quilt Down Puffer uses sculptural quilting inspired by ice formations, in recycled nylon, at Level 4.

Trucker jackets, leather and wool

Moose Knuckles also cuts down into trucker shapes: the West-Ed Down Trucker Jacket is Level 2 and the Brixton Down Trucker Jacket is Level 1. In leather, the Jacques Leather Jacket and Toba Bomber Jacket are sharp transitional layers, and the Jacques Wool Jacket blends wool with cashmere and silk.

Vests

The Original Westmount Down Vest is the classic, at Level 2, and the Iceberg Quilt Down Vest comes in Clover green and Blue Ice. See the vests and puffers guide.

Which men’s style to choose

Sizing for men

Men’s outerwear runs XS to XXL on most styles, with some going to XXXL and XXXXL. Regular Fit is the most common label and suits most men in their usual size. The Everest Down Jacket and Northbound 3Q are Oversized Fit, so you can stay in your size for the intended shape. Check our size guide for the chest chart.

How to care for a Moose Knuckles down jacket

Most Moose Knuckles down styles can be machine washed cold, and dry cleaning is the alternative the label gives. Close every zip and snap, turn the jacket inside out and use a gentle down wash with no softener. Tumble dry on low with two clean tennis balls until the down is completely dry and lofty again, because damp down clumps and smells. Remove any detachable fur trim first; real fox fur goes to a fur specialist, never into water. Leather styles go to a leather specialist. Between seasons, store the jacket loosely on a wide hanger, not compressed in a bag, so the fill keeps its loft.
