I suppose I've never been a fan of it because it just reminds me of something that goes up on a wall in a diner. : (

that is quite a whole new take on the typical quilted jacket. It looks classy but at the same time casual and is at the same time practical as it is a "hunter's" jacket.

I'm a fan of quilted jackets always have been…I think of a sky resort and cold weather loving beings…I do think the fit should be stream line like the one you captured…

"The cool way to wear it" ?

He's just wearing it.

I see nothing that makes it beyond…a quilted coat.

I like it. cute.

Lovely look. Traditional and yet terribly cool.

He really does make it cool!

I'm with Jax the first commenter. It's the hair + the blue eyes + the nose + the upturned collar — it all says $$$

This is how these jackets are worn by many bankers in London (me including), over a suit, as a great travel jacket that does not crease, hence you can stuff it in overhead compartment while on the plane, or in your bag when it gets warmer. When it rains, it protects your usually expensive suit from getting wet etc.
Then, upon returning home, you can wear it with jeans and take your dog for a walk, wearing (you, not the dog) the same jacket… So versatile.

This is most probably a Barbour jacket. They've become incredibly popular here in Britain over the last year or two. They've gone from a mostly rural, upper-class thing associated with fox hunting to something worn by young men in almost every city.

this lad is executing the 'mayfair private equity' look to a T. Not really that interesting though?

i've always loved these even though pretty much everyone hip thinks they are horrendous.

I remember going to Sweden and wearing my quilted jacket and feeling out of place. The only other people that wore them there were old ladies.

I still like mine but I will not wear it next time I go to Sweden.

he is cute, but he isnt wearing it in a really cool way or anything. cute guy with a coat on.

I think it's the navy Barbour (Lightweight) Liddesdale Jacket.

I think he looks darn cute. I would totally go for him. Hell, I am inspired to go look for a coat just like that now.

snore, these barbours have been done to death in london for about 3 years.

i love quilted things because of the texture. i also think his collar up is a sharp touch, but other than that, it does seem rather ordinary.

Great jacket, the collar is wonderful.

fantastic photo as a photo! but i think quilted coats are too much for middle-age women from land's end. theyre a bit too "im wearing this because it has thinsulate and is warm" to me

Old? Stuffy? I must be old and stuffy because – to me – these jackets look very smart. I own one and am looking to buy another.

Always been a fan of quilted jackets, anyone know where i could get one like this? Only one I know is the Barbour Liddesdale and it's not the one i'm looking for.

I'm sorry, but from a (mainland) European standpoint, a quilted jacket is NEVER cool. Ever. Yuck!

flybynightkarmarepair – in aubergine or burnt sienna it would look like a granny outfit. Trust me.

not a chance

This is what's hot here in norway!
You should take your time to come here.
People here are more fashionable then sweden and denmark. In other words. Most fashionable city in scandinavia;)

it only looks good cuz he looks good. that jacket would look dowdy on another man.

Living as I do in the North East of England I may be seen as being behind the times, but I love a good Barbour quilted jacket.

"snore, these barbours have been done to death in london for about 3 years." – I hate this sort of view point, it narks me in music and it narks me just as equally with fashion. Yes, fashion is constantly changing and evolving, but I think a few staples remain timeless. It doesn't matter that loads of other people have been wearing them for a long time previously, if something looks good, I'll keep wearing it long after the fad for wearing it has died down. I'm so gauche.

I'm not sure about the quilted jacket. I recently bought one and I get lots of positive reactions but I still have my doubts. Maybe it’s just an old ladies jacket.

Quilted coats are NEVER stylish..they are so boring as to be rendered passe…

Looks like a typically hot Nordic guy who works in Private Equity or at a Hedge Fund (Blackberry in hand is a give-away). A common sight in the Hedge fund and Private Equity "Clubland" of Mayfair & St James'. British bankers don't tend to wear these coats that much in the City (I worked at a British stockbrokers this year) unless they're older and usually the coats are a bit more battered. His hair is too tame for a junior M&A banker. It is very much a "Eurotrash does Sloane Square" look as us British bankers would call it.
