Men's parkas

Men's parkas are a popular type of winter jacket thanks to their fit, comfort and versatility, which have earned them a place in many men's wardrobes. It may seem like a parka is only ideal for winter, but the opposite is true. A parka will also serve you well in spring or autumn. In the spring, you can easily combine it with a t-shirt or a thin sweater, add some stylish jeans and Vans Old Skool for the perfect look. Then face fall and winter in layers - the more the better the parka looks - and with accessories like a beanie, scarf and Timberlands for warm, dry feet.

You can tell a men's parka by its longer cut with button closures and drawstring options at the waist or below. Hoods, roomy pockets and colours suitable for the outdoors - dark green, dark blue, brown or black - are also typical. Modern parkas are made from materials that, while fabric-like, offer water and wind resistance along with thermal comfort. At Queens, we care about quality, which is why you'll find attractive parkas from the world's leading brands.

Interesting fact: The history of parkas dates back to the Eskimo people, who used to sew long coats with hoods impregnated with fish oil for better insulation from reindeer or seal skins. They called these coats "animal skins". Eskimos wore them mainly over their heads, and the material used made these coats bulkier and heavier, allowing for efficient layering of clothing for warmth. The contemporary parka design evolved under the influence of military fashion with various practical features such as fastenings or pockets.
