Gentlemen, do not let El Niño’s balmy December temps fool you — it doesn’t take a member of House Stark to know that sooner or later, winter is, in fact, coming.
And when it does, it’ll behoove any fella looking to avoid freezing his proverbial cojones off to be prepared with the requisite gear.
Specifically, a solid winter coat.
Thus we bring you our curated range of seven of the season’s best, divvied up by the temps they’re most appropriate for tackling, from a blustery city street to well and truly North of the Wall.
Plus a few other key items (hats, gloves, one particularly handsome turtleneck) for fending off Jack Frost’s assault whenever it finally arrives.
Prepare thyself for winter in comfort.

You’ll notice something about all the jackets on this list: they perform at a level on par with their looks. Also true for the watch you should be pairing with them—The JetMaster Black-Tone Carbon Fiber by Michael Kors. Attending the Met Gala? The JetMaster is game for that. Going helicopter skiing in the Rockies? Likewise. If you’re a work hard/play harder type, it’s the only watch you need.
