FAQs About Original Penguin Jackets

  
    
      What is the difference between a jacket and an outerwear piece?       
        

In the apparel world, the terms are often interchangeable. Generally, **jackets** are waist or hip-length garments worn over other clothes for warmth or protection. **Outerwear** is the broader term, encompassing jackets, coats, and vests—anything worn as the final layer. Our collection focuses on versatile **men's jackets** for transitional seasons.

      
    
    
      How should a men's casual jacket fit?       
        

A good **casual jacket** should allow for comfortable layering (e.g., over a sweater) without appearing baggy. The shoulder seams should align with your natural shoulder break, and the sleeves should end just past your wrist bone. For specific fit types and measurements, consult our official Size Guide.

      
    
    
      Are Original Penguin jackets water-resistant?       
        

Many of our windbreakers, performance, and **lightweight jackets** are treated with a water-resistant finish to help repel light moisture. However, unless explicitly stated as "waterproof," they are not designed for heavy rain. Look for the "water-resistant" feature callout on the product page.

      
    
    
      What are the most popular Original Penguin jacket styles?       
        

Our most popular styles include the versatile **bomber jackets**, classic zip-up track jackets, and our **men's vests** for core warmth and mobility. These pieces offer timeless style and are easy to layer with our polos and tees. You can explore all styles within our Jacket Collection.

      
    
    
      What is the best way to clean and care for my jacket?       
        

To preserve the fabric and fit, always follow the garment's care label. Generally, wash **jackets for men** on a cold, gentle cycle, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid dry cleaning or high heat, especially for materials with performance finishes. Visit our **Men's Care Guide** for extended tips.
