My Outerwear Collection (8 Essential Pieces)

In this video, I show you my entire outerwear collection, from the lightweight windbreaker to the heavy-duty parka. People often ask me about the best outerwear for short men. It's hard to give a specific answer because shorter gents come in different shapes and sizes. But I'll show you what works for me and where I shop for outerwear.

For some people, 8 jackets is super minimal. Others might think it's way too much outerwear for one man. But between these 8 pieces of outerwear, I'm covered for every type of weather and every occasion.
You'll notice that I don't have a peacoat or a puffer jacket. Though these are super popular, I think it's hard to find pea coats and puffer jackets that look good on the shorter man. For that reason, I stick with alternatives like topcoats and parkas.

Your online book was FANTASTIC!! Well worth the money I paid for it. I'm only 5'5" and have struggled massively with clothes my entire life. (I'm 44 now). Your book really opened my eyes. I just was clueless as to what I 'should' be doing to help manage my short stature with my style. I'm around 165 lbs so I'm pretty stocky with a fairly muscular build for my frame which only serves to further complicate things. And unfortunately gives me a squatty look. Anyway, I could ramble on for hours talking about my insecurities, my being bullied and derided, and my total lack of fashion knowledge; but I mostly just wanted to throw a huge sincere THANK YOU your way for taking the time to put together and amazing guide book for the vertically impaired.
PS: I'm heading to banana republic tomorrow to stock up on some Chinos and jeans. (I threw pretty much my entire closet Out 4 days ago and have very little to wear now. Lol)
Your comment made my day! Thank you. I'm glad the guide was helpful. I know the feeling of realizing most of your clothes aren't going to work anymore and having to "cleanse" the wardrobe. It's a lot of work but also fun, and well worth it.
Keep me updated on your progress!
bi0lizard1 WOW !!! That's how I felt all my life. Seeing the weird looks when got you shop at kids section or for shoes at woman department
bi0lizard1 hb
Once again, just spot on advice for you younger gents. Being 5'6" without shoes, I have followed the curated approach to most of my clothing, but especially Outerwear.
Over the years I have have purchased the following: Camel Hair overcoat, single breasted (SB) for all occasions, wool herringbone chesterfield with velvet collar for dress, trench coat with zip out liner, great for travel in winter, Navy peacoat, and a ski parka. All are top quality, all have lasted a minimum of 20 years.
Short guys, listen to this man, stay conservative in color, cut and style.
1) Bomber jacket
2) Trench coat
3) Down jacket
I also have that camel Banana Republic topcoat and it's great. Great channel! Just found it
Honestly those jackets would be perfect for central California winter since it heats up fast in the day
I look forward to cooler weather so i can wear my sleeveless vest. With a pair of good looking jeans and great pair of boots, you can't miss.
You definitely can
All vests are sleeveless…
That field jacket is really nice
My favorite outerwear item I own is pea coat I got from H&M. It's from H&M of course, so it's probably kind of crap, but I'll wear it out until it's no good anymore and I can afford something better. I'd also love to get a topcoat like the camel one you have here. I really love coats like that.
Jacket you skipped
1.Bomber jacket
2.Trucker jacket
3.Quilted jacket
Arthur Doctolero totally agree
and peacoat
There a lot more he skipped like the wax jacket, hannington jacket, varsity jacket and so on
@@JAG214 actually his zara jacket is basically a harrington jacket, it has the typical slanted front pockets and double button colar. Of course it's not exactly the original baracuta G9 but close enough.
I lamment the trend towards shorter long coats, it's oxymoronic and diminishes it's function, the shorter the long coat the less of you it protects from elements, idea of warm and toasty too amd freezing or we and coats knee to ankle isn't appeing, the good thing about being shorter is that we can still find coats that are more traditional, I prefer mid shin or even close to ankle like old school great coats,
Either way cool overview I'm late to this party but season shifting so your overview is seasonally appropriate again :-)
Ps the dark navy two layer top coat is killer nice man, these coats (trench ,overcoat top coat etc) are my favorite big ticket items, and you nailed it w that one and the camel one too
how have i not seen this channel before? definitively going to be really helpful being 5'5. So true that when something fits it is always a fuck yeah! moment haha
Yeah it's so rare that it's actually an amazing feeling when something fits properly off the rack.
demim jacket and bomber jacket!!
I have a really nice raincoat that is unlined but is fancy enough to wear over a suit as a top coat with a scarf and hat. I have a fleece jacket i bought at a tag sale years ago that I need to replace. I might go for a lighter weight leather one
On days when it does not snow or rain I wear the Peter Manning leather jacket. Yesterday at 12 degrees, just zip it up with one light long sleeve shirt underneath. It can be done but you have to be one with the cold lol.
Also I got the J. Crew vest too, they fit so well! Going for the Tribeca field jacket in blue next
+Adel Hijazi you're a braver man than I!
you're also missing a denim jacket.
Sifat Sartaj our dated
Agree with everything except perhaps a ski jacket over the parka and a trench coat over the second navy jacket. :)
Couldn't really guess the pieces you said were missing. Seems like a pretty complete collection. A fleece hoody maybe?
Actually I could use a fleece zip up or something like that for casual outdoor stuff (like hiking).
What is missing? I know, the trench coat and maybe a (suede) bomber jacket or baseball jacket. I love my field jacket too, a whole lot more than the stylish suede bomber jacket (I sold it, it was too short for me, I am too tall). Nice video btw.
I think the two you're missing that are 'staples' are a...
1. Bomber Jackets (Although I don't like bombers so I don't really care about that)
2. A denim jacket which I think is a great layering piece if you ask me!
Your collection is awesome
wow, I'm actually amazed how you aren't that well known, hope your channel blows up, because your advice actually helps!! keep it up!
+eleazar rodriguez thanks man!
I think your missing a bomber, Harrington, and denim jackets?
2:25 in UK we call a 'Gilet'.
Definitely missing the bomber/quilted/puffer/denim jackets
Brock - appreciate what you’re doing. Would also recommend a Barbour field jacket. They’re pricy but totally worth the money and sleeves roll which is good for us shorter guys. Also, if you find a puffer that isn’t long in the arms and torso definitely post it. Have been searching forever. Finally, get to amazon and buy some wooden hangers - at least for your videos (they aren’t expensive) 😎
You're missing a bomber jacket, peacoat, and a trench coat?
The two I had in mind were pea coat and puffer. But your'e right, a bomber and trench could definitely fit in this collection.
I still need to get those two. I'm keeping an eye on the Jcrew bomber either vintage navy or warm elm. The only downside to it is, it doesn't have any insulation and more like a windbreaker.
www.jcrew.com/mens_category/outerwear/wallaceandbarnes/PRDOVR~C1174/C1174.jsp?color_name=vintage-navy
Man that jacket is niiicee. Great vids btw!
why thank you :D
Could add a denim jacket!
Scarves, gloves, wool or flannel pants, boots and socks, and maybe a hat. or beanie.
Love your stuff brick. Please make a whole video about peacoats
Way to represent! Keep up the good work.
Word.
I went once in zara store ended up buying 12 blazers coats and jackets. They really have good fitting collection. I am 5'6" and their product fits perfectly.
Dang how much did u drop
i instantly thought of a bomber & denim jacket !
I need to get into the denim jacket. Haven't found one that I feel comfortable in yet. Do you wear them?
I would check out asos. You do have to be smart when shopping on there because alot of their stuff isn't that great of quality. They have slim and skinny fits for denim jacekets. I got one in skinny fit because i am very skinny and it fits amazing!
Will do. I like how a lot of ASOS stuff fits but really don't like the quality, and I really don't love buying from a company that probably supports bad working conditions (how else could it be so cheap?).
I love the Levi's Trucker Jacket, but then again I'm a taller than most of your audience
You really need a Mac. To me it's the blazer of outwear - instantly classes up any outfit. Equally at home with a t-shirt and jeans or a dress shirt and tie. Perfect for those of us in California where you don't need a really heavy jacket.
Hmm never bought one...I'll check it out. Favorite brands?
I've owned a couple from Banana Republic that I like and fit me OK (I'm 5'7"), and one I got from Kenneth Cole that I like quite a bit. Typically I'm looking for something pretty smooth and sleek for a mac.
Awesome educational video! Thank you sir!
Welcome! Thanks for watching.
just found your channel a couple days ago. I would love to shoe/accessory collections and stuff
Will do more of that type of video. Working on a budget watch collection video now...
That olive field jacket is definitely one of the best purchases I made. I even got it on sale back in February too! I saw it on your Instagram on multiple occasions and I was sold right there and then lol.
Sweet! Yeah it's still one of my favorites. I actually just got the navy blue one too...also great but I like the olive best.
Thanks, man.
Maybe it's just my thought, but I think you're the only "image consultant" worth to follow on RUclips. Many others such as Antonio Centeno, Aaron Marino and fellows have lost the point: by now, their videos' aim is to persuade you to buy sponsored items, so you'll feel as cool as the model of perfection they want to convey. It should be all about giving useful tips, and the advertisement should lie on a second level. This is why I feel you're the best (and of course because I'm indeed quite short). Keep on the good work and sorry if my English isn't very neat (I'm Italian :) ).
Giuliano de Julio I noticed that too.
They revolve the entire video around the promotion
I appreciate that! Yeah, I think it's hard to find the balance between ads, which are necessary for making a living, and educational content, which should be the main focus. I bet it's even harder when you get really big and people start offering you a lot of money. It's just hard to say no to that.
But I know those guys, and they're good people. So I don't have anything against them or their methods. I'll always try hard to make sure my videos offer something of value, regardless of whether or not they're sponsored.
Thanks for watching!
Please tell me you stepped up your hanger game. Lets get some wood hangers from Amazon. Makes all the difference!
Came here just to see if anyone else was surprised that a fashionable guy like Brock would have mismatched plastic and metal hangers. Ha!
Great channel and videos!
No Hoodie!? Nice video. I have a 48 inch chest and a 26 inch inseam, at 5'5" clothes off the rack are impossible. Top coats & parkas hang to my knees and anything I can zip or button must have the cuffs rolled up. I appreciate your encouragement. I don't mind being short, but I do hate looking like I need to grow into my clothes!
+Soaked Duck no hoodie right now. I don't find myself wearing them much, and most are too baggy for me.
Denim Jacket and a Peacoat
we live in Michigan. it is 15 degrees today. My man is 60 and active. He typically wears about a 42short...tailored of course. He is 5"5". He gravitates to a very large Columbia type colorful coat. He needs a very warm, navy or Black hip length coat. Any suggestions?
Have you looked at anything from MontBell? I don't know if their stuff may be the most fashionable but it is light, fits well and warm. If you go with the 850 and 900 down they are super light and not bulky at all.
Not yet, I'll check them out. Thanks!
Missing denim trucker and pea coat. Although you have 2 top coats so no need for the pea! Oh bomber and trucker
What's the difference between a top coat and overcoat
what about taller men?
Cool video thanx.
I think you are missing the duffle coat, the trench and the pea coat as well as the bomber jacket and Harrington jacket. I also respectfully disagree with you about the silhouette of a pea coat on a 5'6 guy. I'm also 5'6 and I've been trying on pea coat and loving them. I just can't afford one that I want yet.
Nice additions. I think pea coats can look great, but it's hard to find ones that flatter smaller guys. Any favorite brands?
Its a luxury brand and quite pricy but Burberry's more expensive model fits me quite well. I've also been looking for Billy Reid's but I've not yet tried that one on. I'm sure you know that alphaM loves his Ted Baker pea coat by now.
I try to avoid coats that go past mid-thigh. I know it CAN be done (just loo at James Dean), but it's tough to pull off, compared to a shorter coat. I like the look of duffel coats, but the details always seem so oversized on my smaller frame.
Yeah that Bond pea coat looks pretty sweet...
krollic Pea coats should end at around upper thigh, lower buttock which isn't as long as a duffle or trench coat which should end mid thigh to above the knee, though older styled trench coats went down even lower. I find that anything above the knee is quite alright as long as it isn't too baggy on the body. I'd suggest colours other than black however since that colour is too strong, but a navy blue works quite well. With that being said I do like a black trench coat so I'm a bit of a hypocrite here.
I just got a SS field jacket how fitted should they be? Mine it's definitely not for layering and that is not my intention since a have pea coats for.colder days, I wanted mostly as rain jacket but it does fit like a a fitted sport coat, not even with a sweater. Everything it has perfect fit
the pm field jackets look so good
On of my favorites. Definitely worth the investment.
the only problem is that now they have a blue color... I CAN'T decide between that and the green! Do you think buying both (if money wasn't an issue) is okay?
Tough call man. I have both and like the option to wear blue, which is super versatile. But if I had to pick one, I'd go with olive because it's more unique and kind of a classic color for a field jacket. But it depends on the rest of your wardrobe. Would navy be a better color for your palette?
The Modest Man Navy in general, as well as other darker colors like gray, are better for me. Most of my wardrobe is navy ish. However, I do not have any jackets (i just layer with sweaters when it gets cold). So the field jacket would essentially be my "first jacket" that isn't a baggy oversized hand me down.
In that case, I might go with navy. It's tough because they're both pretty versatile. Here are some more photos of each so you can get a better idea:
Navy - www.themodestman.com/outfits/classic-fall-layering/
Olive - www.themodestman.com/guidomaggi-review/
You missed the denim jacket for sure.
I love your content but I'm 6'8"
Is there any channel like this one but with more of an emphasis in tall guys?
Check out The Kavalier 👍🏻
Other viewers have asked for a fit video with the Alpha Industries parka. I was wondering about the sleeve length: the sleeves look very long.
Would you happen to know what shirt you’re wearing under the vest in the second vest picture?
What do you think of the Harrington jacket?
Im 6' tall, I dont consider myself a short man, but your videos are awesome! Clear, nice, simple, clean...
bomber jacket - recommend Theory
Trench Coat
Denim Jacket
Bomber jacket
Hey Brock! Awesome video! I was wondering how you take care of your lambskin jacket, thanks!
Thanks! I don’t do anything to it (at least not yet).
Nice! I was wondering because your jacket still look as new in your "6 Expensive Products That Are Worth The Money" video. How often do you wear it? I was thinking of buying one but am worry about its longevity.
I’ve worn it a lot. It’s held up really well!
What is the song at the begining? I can't find it on the artist's link you provided.Btw you have a good taste in music
Hi there! awesome videos mate! which brands (and sizes) would you recommend for 1'65 m ? I have problems many times finding slim clothes that fit me properly. be it for the length or width. Thanks a lot!
I am a 5'9" and tan colored guy. My body is regular. Do you think a camel overcoat would suit me? I feel like it will accentuate my shortness. Thanks and keep up the great work :)
Given the choice between tan and charcoal, I think you should go with charcoal. Tan is a good second coat, but it's not quite as versatile or universally flattering as dark grey or navy.
Thanks for the advice :) Also are you missing a Peacoat by any chance?
That's one of them! I used to have one, but I replaced it with a topcoat a couple of years ago. Might get another pea coat if I can find one that fits really well.
Who makes a pea coat for our height? Athletic build 5’7 36r in most off rack suit tops.
will there be any chance of you showing a fit video of the n-3b parka ?
+YAAASolid yes, I'll do a quick video soon. Been traveling for the holidays, so sorry for the delay!
Any recommendations for a taller man (6.2) for a Tribeca like field jacket? I like the jacket and color but I noticed their sizes wouldn't fit me. Thanks.
+van basten j crew or any mainstream brand with a field jacket (club Monaco, Ralph Lauren, BR, etc). At 6’2” most brands should fit well.
Hi. I'm 5'8 barefoot, but i have very short legs, should i buy a coat?
Does anyone know what kind of jacket the one at 5:10 is? I'm looking for something similar but don't know what type it is
What's the outer layer you're wearing in the video? I don't know what this type of shirt is called.
Where do live in the Southwest that you have seasons and need heavy outerwear? In Phoenix basically you need one or two light coats or jackets and layers. I really enjoy your videos for help in the shorter/slim category info and tips but weather wise bluntly most of the clothes don't apply. I've often thought if I were younger and into it I'd do a channel for warmer two season climates where casual wear is worn most often. Not being critical just curious. Maybe I'm the one off base and fashion clueless.
+JR Snyder Jr I'm in Tucson, where it's in the 30s at night/early morning right now. But I spend lots of time in Flagstaff and back east where I'm from (DC), so I have lots of cold weather gear.
The Modest Man Thanks for your reply. Interesting then because we live in the same state and I'm a native. Lived in Tucson many years and have family there and we are all originally from Prescott and Flagstaff. Climate is different in Phoenix (I don't live here by choice but necessity) due to urban heat island therefore and we get almost no rainy season unlike Tucson which has two. The climate in Tucson does change as does of course Northern Arizona and I spend no time east of New Mexico rather in the West and California. I do think that a lot of dress rules are thrown out of the window in Phoenix but that's for a variety of reasons I won't go into here.
You're the best channel I've found so far on the topics you focus on and really appreciate what you do regarding advice for shorter men. I'm a lot more mature and many of these things I had to learn the hard way before there even was an internet. Good on ya for that. I also appreciate RMRS. I still learn a lot of new things though from you so keep it up.
Crazy how much variation there is in one state (with weather AND culture).
Thanks for the kind words!
No peacoat? 😎
Brock what size is the Walker vest? Thanks
XS
awesome vids and channel . big thumbs up to you.
+richard tovar thanks Richard!
How cold are your winters?
What part of the southwest are you from? I'm from Tucson but now live in North Carolina.
Hey Broke, what size of Alpha Industries Men's N-3B Slim Fit Parka did you buy? XS or S? thanks
+Chun Wong it's an XS
I have a question. What do you do with jackets (or clothes) that are old and/or out-of-season? Do you keep them around just in case or do you get reid of them?
+SirValeous old, I give them away. Out of season, I store them until next year.
I'm 6'4" and really pale what colour and type of jacket work for me?
Ben Nicholson
Navy Field Jacket
Ben Nicholson or Olive
No bomber, no quilted jacket.
What size are your peter manning outerwear pieces?
Size 1
Haha I love your content! Almost makes me wish I was shorter....almost. Love your style. Simple and comfortable.
Hi Brock
Can you please do a review on alpha industries n3b slim fit in more detail?
Also it seems like you have removed the fur, is that correct?
By the way I absolutely love your channel, subscribed
Thanks
James
+james koo will review soon. I did remove the fur...little too much for me.
Thanks for the tips. I am about your height. I have problems with sizes because I'm a stocky guy, about 165. What Jacket size is good for me on Peter Manning online store, the biggest is 4x?
+infoquestor I would call or email them and ask. They're very helpful and would know better than me. I've heard that Peter himself will sometimes answer the phone...
The Modest Man , thanks, they were very helpful indeed.
Glad to hear that!
Gonna buy N-3B parka in sage green as well. Have a several options - one from Alpha Ind. and one from Spiewak. Which one can you recommend? And also what's your opinion - I'd like to stick to some kind of a preppy-classy look but I need something really warm in my closet, 'cause here, where I live, temperature sometimes falls below -4F°. So here comes the question - whether an N-3B parka is my choice or not at all?
I've never tried a Spiewak parka so can't compare. I think they can look pretty classic, but the N3-B has military details and a shine to it, so it might not be your best choice (although the fit is great).
Sorry for the hijack but I have to ask what size did you get for the N-3B parka? I'm looking into buying one but sizing has been iffy across the net. I'm 5'7, ~145 lbs, 35 inch chest.Thanks love your vid!
macdaddyyo regular XS, or slim fit S may suit you well (i guess)... Slim S, I think, will be better
I got an XS. See my latest vid for a fit check!
PEA COAT WHERE IT AT BOI
I enjoyed your video. However, it looks like you're missing a good downhill ski jacket.
True. I used to have a really nice Northface ski jacket, but it eventually got too beat up to wear. It was also way to big, but it did the job on the mountain. I actually haven't been skiing in really cold weather in a few years, so I usually just layer up with a lighter jacket. Not ideal... any favorite brands?
Thanks. Jesus bless
You need a bomber jacket and a pea-coat in my opinion.
Yeah man...wardrobe goals.
Hey Brocky (lol) what size are your PM jackets?
Hah that's what my grandma calls me. Size 1.
Most jeans never fit right . I am 5'6.5'' with a thicker thigh and waist. Any recommendations?
Try GAP taper fit. If it's too tight go a size up in waist and then get the waist brought in at a tailor
I agree with Adel. It's hard to find jeans off the rack, so try finding a good tailor or someone who does alterations in your area. Find jeans that fit perfectly in the waist/thigh area and have the length and hem opening altered to your liking. If you prefer a slim fit, size up (I'm a size 36W, but I go with 38W for slim fit).
Just realized he doesn’t have any hoodies in this collection. Expected because Grant dresses more business casual and hoodies are too casual for that.
Bomber Jacket?
You don't have a Trench coat??
Brock, how tall are you and what size leather jacket is that from Peter Manning... is that a 1? I'm asking because Im considering picking one up myself, and I'm 5'2'' and 115 lbs. Thanks!
+Saddmun Ahsan you'd definitely be a size 1. In 5'5" (ish) and wear a 1.
dont
I ended up getting it and it fit PERFECTLY. Thanks again for the advice and help Brock!
oh rlly
The quarter zip you're wearing... where is it from? Thanks!
It's from Peter Manning NYC - www.petermanningnyc.com/products/madison-quarter-zip-sweaters-blue-jean
That was my guess! Just bought a couple for my 5'6" husband (along with half of the rest of PM's product line)
Nice! I think he'll be pleasantly surprised.
I subscribed.
+Anwar Najm 👊🏼
Windbreakers are a no no in my opinion unless you're into the whole "techwear" trend
The Barracuda is a classic. Not techie.
You need at least one overcoat and one trench coat to complete an outerwear collection.
Ma quanto sei modesto
Hey brock! What size did you get for the parka?
XS
The Modest Man always thx for replying. Do you have any other recomendations besides the parka for very cold winter? Unfortunately they are out of the color i want. Also are you a size 2 as well for peter manning?
As someone who has practically every piece of his clothing professionally tailored, I can tell you first hand that your tailor is NOT doing a high quality i.e. professional job, your camel top coat is a perfect example. When shortening the length of the sleeves of a coat whether that coat be winter, or a suit jacket, the proper way to shorten the sleeve length is from the shoulder NOT at the cuff, by the cuff is a cheap, inexpensive and very unprofessional way of shortening your sleeve length.
