Jackets

The question that comes up most with outerwear: will this fit over what I already layer underneath, or do I need to size up? Jackets are the one category where the size chart alone doesn't tell the full story, what you wear under it changes how it fits. This page sorts everything by weight first, fit second, because that's the order it actually matters in.

Shop by weight

Lightweight. Built for transitional weather, not real cold. Sits close to the body without much room for a sweater underneath. The Parke Bomber Jacket runs true to size if you're layering over a t-shirt or thin top, size up if you plan to wear it over a sweatshirt.

Heavyweight. Built for cold rather than mild days, with more room cut into the shoulders and chest to layer underneath without feeling restricted. The Parke Puffer Jacket runs generous through the body by design, so most people size true rather than up.

Shop by fit

Cropped styles sit at or above the waist and pair best with higher-rise bottoms, anything longer underneath will show below the hem. Oversized styles are meant to be roomy through the shoulder, that's not a sizing issue, it's the intended drape, so don't size down to compensate.

Fabric and care

Shell fabrics vary by style, some are water-resistant for everyday wear in light rain, others are built for warmth indoors and out rather than weather resistance. Check the product description for fabric details before buying if you need something that holds up outdoors specifically. Most pieces in this collection are machine washable on cold, but puffer styles with down or synthetic fill should be spot-cleaned between full washes to keep the fill from clumping.

How to choose

Lightweight if you're layering over thin tops and need something for in-between weather. Heavyweight if you're buying for actual cold and want room to layer a sweatshirt underneath. Whichever you pick, check the size chart on the product page before ordering, jacket sizing varies more between styles than most other categories since fit depends on what's worn underneath.

New styles and weights land regularly. If your size or weight isn't here yet, check back, this collection turns over often. Or browse all parke sweatshirts to shop the rest of the range.
