Plus-size jackets and coats, new collection
The plus-size jackets for women and men include parkas, down jackets, waterproof jackets, bomber jackets, denim jackets, fleece jackets and sherpa or teddy jackets, often with hoods.
Urban Classics makes parkas and sherpa jackets, Jack Wolfskin produces waterproof jackets; the plus-size coat is designed to be spacious enough to layer over a thick jumper.
A plus size jacket is chosen based on shoulder width and chest size, allowing for ease for the layers underneath. The length plays a role too: short with wide trousers, long with a dress or leggings.
Plus size parka and padded jacket for winter
The plus size parka covers the hips and protects from the wind; the padded jacket keeps you warm in dry and cold weather. A fixed hood is better than a beanie in light rain.
Plus size waterproof jacket
For rain, the waterproof jacket with a hood and sealed seams is worn over a sweatshirt or fleece. Jack Wolfskin offers them, useful for hiking as well as in the city.
Sherpa, teddy and plus size bomber jacket
The sherpa, a looped lining that mimics sheep wool, and the teddy keep you warm in mid-season. The bomber jacket and denim jacket, which are shorter, are worn over a t-shirt or a plus size sweatshirt.
How to know if a jacket is the right size
With arms stretched out in front, the jacket shouldn't pull at the back; the sleeves should reach the wrist. When closed over a sweater, it should allow a flat hand to pass at chest level: that's the ease needed for winter.
Plus size jacket in black, green or pink
The black plus size jacket goes with everything in winter; khaki green gives a more casual look, and a pink or white jacket brightens up a dark outfit.

Frequently asked questions about plus size jackets and coats
Parka or padded jacket for winter?
The parka offers better protection against wind and rain and provides more coverage; the padded jacket is warmer in dry cold. The parka is better suited for a damp city.
Should you take a size up for a coat?
Not necessarily: a plus size coat is designed to fit over a sweater. Take a size up only for a fitted cut.
What length of coat for petite women?
A jacket that stops at the hips or a coat above the knee. A short coat helps avoid flattening the silhouette.
How to wash a sherpa jacket?
Turn it inside out, wash it cold on a delicate cycle, then dry flat. The sherpa can be gently brushed if it pills.
Does a waterproof jacket keep warm?
It blocks the wind and rain; warmth comes from the layer worn underneath. A fleece is sufficient for mid-season.
