Every man benefits from a few core jackets: a versatile bomber or harrington for casual days, a tailored blazer for smart occasions, and a weatherproof coat for winter. Together they cover almost any setting. Choose neutral colours like navy, black or stone for maximum wear. Connor's jackets and coats range covers all three.

Generally, a jacket is shorter, lighter and ends around the hip, while a coat is longer, heavier and built for warmth, often reaching the thigh or knee. Jackets suit layering and milder weather; coats handle cold and rain. Connor stocks both, from casual jackets to longline winter coats.

A jacket should sit flat across the shoulders, with the seam ending right where your shoulder meets your arm. If it overhangs or digs in, the size is wrong, because shoulders are difficult to alter. The chest should close comfortably without pulling. Connor offers jackets in a range of fits and sizes.

For most Australian winters, a wool-blend overcoat or an insulated puffer handles the cold without being too heavy, while a water-resistant jacket suits wetter regions. Layer over knitwear for flexibility through changing days, and choose darker tones for versatility. Connor's coat range is built for cool-climate layering across the country.

A bomber jacket can work in a smart-casual office if you keep it sleek and structured in a neutral colour like navy or black. Pair it with a collared shirt, chinos and clean shoes rather than gym wear, and avoid sporty logos. Connor's jackets include refined bombers suited to relaxed workplaces.
