Men's parkas

Men's parkas are one of the most popular winter jacket styles. Why, you ask? It's mainly because of their fit, comfort and versatility, which has earned them a firm place in many men's wardrobes. You might think that a parka is primarily a winter jacket, but don't be fooled. The parka is suitable for spring and autumn. In spring, you can just wear it with a t-shirt or a thin sweater, complement it with well-fitting jeans, for example, and wear the iconic Vans Old Skool on your feet and you're all set. In autumn and winter, you need to wear a thicker top under the parka, maybe two, because the more layers the better it looks; put on a beanie and a scarf and wear Timberlands, for example, to make sure your shoes don't get wet and your feet don't freeze in the falling leaves.

How do you actually know a man's park? You can tell a parka by its longer cut with a button fastening and drawstring at the bottom or waist. No proper parka lacks a hood, large pockets and outdoor colours such as dark green, dark blue, brown or black. Now parkas are already made of special material that although they look cloth and that get wet, however this is not the case. A lot of manufacturers make sure that the parka provides waterproof, windproof, warmth and comfort. At Footshop, we've gone to great lengths to ensure that you'll find good-looking parkas from the world's leading brands.

Fun fact: Did you know that the historical origins of parkas come from the Eskimo lifestyle? In fact, Eskimos used seal or reindeer skins to make long hooded coats, often infused with fish oil to increase the effect of thermal insulation. These overcoats were called parka, translated as 'animal skins'. Eskimos wore parkas mainly over their heads, and their parkas were much larger and also heavier because of the material. However, they could layer their clothes properly and keep themselves warm. Today's parka owes its appearance to the influence of army "fashion", which added various gadgets in the form of fastenings or pockets.
