Yves Salomon Menswear: Guide to the Paris Fur House’s Men’s Line

Yves Salomon menswear is the men’s line of the Paris fur and leather house, sold as Yves Salomon Homme, and it is built around outerwear: reversible mink parkas, suede-faced shearling, fur-hooded parkas and Loro Piana down jackets. The full men’s edit sits on the Yves Salomon brand page and across men’s coats, and the Yves Salomon men’s size guide covers fit before you buy. This guide explains what the line is, which pieces define it and how it sits next to Moncler, Brunello Cucinelli and Mackage.

What is Yves Salomon Homme?

Yves Salomon Homme takes the skills of a family furrier and applies them to a man’s wardrobe. The Salomon story starts with Gregory Salomon, who settled in France in 1920; Boris Salomon carried the trade into a second generation, the Maison Yves Salomon label followed in 1980, and Thomas Salomon joined in 2000. For the background on the house itself, read who is Yves Salomon.

The men’s collection is not a scaled-down womenswear line. It is cut for a man’s shoulders and proportions, and the focus is clear: coats and jackets first, with knitwear, flannel trousers, overshirts and hats built to sit underneath and around them.

The signature pieces

Five families of outerwear define the line, and each one shows a different side of the atelier.

Reversible mink parkas. The most technical idea in the collection is a parka with two complete faces. The Reversible Long-Haired Mink and Technical Fabric Parka wears as a stretch technical shell on one side and long-haired mink on the other, with a reversible zip and pockets on both faces. The shorter reversible mink jacket in Black and Mahogany does the same at 71 cm.

Suede shearling. Lambskin shearling, which is sheepskin rather than fur, appears in curly Merino, Toscana and Lacon finishes. The Curly Wool Suede Lambskin Shearling Jacket is the everyday version; the Extra-Long Lacon Lambskin Shearling Coat runs to 120 cm.

Parkas with fur hoods. Technical cotton outers, removable sheared rabbit linings and detachable fox and coyote hood trims. The Iconic Technical Cotton Parka with Fox and Rabbit Fur is the reference shape. Our Army parka guide covers the line in depth.

Loro Piana down. Down jackets in Loro Piana wool-silk, flannel and jacquard, several with the Storm System membrane and mink collars and bibs that detach.

Tailoring with fur trims, and leather. Double-faced wool and cashmere jackets carry removable shaved and plucked mink collars, while smooth lambskin and suede calfskin jackets complete the leather side.

How does Yves Salomon compare with Moncler, Brunello Cucinelli and Mackage?

All four brands sell luxury men’s outerwear, but each starts from a different craft. The table below sets out the differences in materials and focus, without pricing.

Brand Starting craft Signature men’s materials Best for
Yves Salomon Paris furrier, family trade since 1920 Mink, fox, coyote, rabbit, lambskin shearling, lambskin and calfskin suede, Loro Piana cloths Fur, shearling and reversible outerwear
Moncler Down outerwear Quilted nylon and lacquered down, technical shells Quilted puffers and ski-led down
Brunello Cucinelli Cashmere knitwear and tailoring Cashmere, wool, suede, soft tailoring Quiet tailoring and knitwear

The short version: choose Yves Salomon when the fur, the shearling and the hide are the point. For a wider comparison of the three outerwear specialists, see Yves Salomon vs Moncler vs Mackage.

How does Yves Salomon menswear fit?

Sizes are French: FR 44 is XS, 46 is S, 48 is M, 50 is L, 52 is XL and 54 is XXL, covering a UK and US chest of 34 to 44. Coveti also shows FR 56 as XXXL and FR 58 as 4XL. The brand says men’s pieces run true to size, and the campaign models, 183 to 189 cm tall, wear FR 48. Lengths vary widely, from 66 cm jackets to 120 cm coats, so check each product page. The full detail is in the men’s size guide.

How should you care for fur and shearling?

Hang each piece on a broad, shaped hanger with space around it, keep it away from direct heat and let it dry naturally if it gets wet. Store it in a breathable cover, never plastic, and send fur and shearling to a specialist cleaner rather than a standard dry cleaner. The house rules are set out in how to care for fur and shearling.

Frequently asked questions

Does Yves Salomon make menswear?

Yes. Yves Salomon Homme is the house’s men’s collection, focused on fur, shearling, leather and down outerwear, with knitwear, flannel trousers, overshirts and hats alongside.

What is Yves Salomon best known for in men’s clothing?

Reversible long-haired mink parkas, suede-faced lambskin shearling and fur-trimmed parkas, made since the Army line launched in 2005.

Is Yves Salomon shearling real fur?

No. Shearling is lambskin with the wool left on, so it is sheepskin rather than fur. The house uses Toscana, Lacon, Merino and curly wool shearling.
