Your guy has likely already bought his outerwear for the season but just in case he’s still shopping for men’s jackets and coats, you might want to point him to nordstrom.com’s feature “Coats of Note – 10 essential coat styles you need to keep the chill at bay—from lightweight bomber jackets to heavy-duty parkas.” Or if you do your guys clothing shopping for him (because you know some girls like to dress their guys), then check out the feature yourself.
Shopping for men’s jackets and coats
My guy happens to be looking for a jacket right now. He wants a leather jacket. I don’t necessarily think a leather jacket is terribly practical for him. But I’m more inclined to give people what they want as opposed to what I think they need. So I’m looking under “Cold-weather essential: The leather jacket” for holiday gift-giving ideas. I probably won’t be able to buy him a jacket but just in case I should find myself able to do so, here are some of the jackets I would consider for him.

Although I’m sure he would be more drawn to leather jackets that have a more youthful style, he’s well over 25. And while I don’t believe in pressuring people to dress a certain way based on their age, I’d personally prefer him to avoid leather jackets with lots of zippers and buckles and edgy details. I like a more distinguished look. Of course it’s not really up to me. And I’m sure it’s not my attention he’s hoping to catch when he fantasizes about strutting around town in a new leather jacket.

This is way expensive but it did jump off the page at me. I think this one would be the perfect leather jacket for him. I’ll have to try to conjure up a fairy godmother.
