Bulletproof Raincoat

Filed under: Apparel

This is one jacket that should have made the live-like-Jack-Bauer gear list because the only thing that can get into it is you. The long black trench is bulletproof, stab-proof and, of course, weatherproof, so no bullets, knives, "hypodermic needles, ice picks, knives and broken bottles " will penetrate it. Think of it as stylish full-body armor. This makes it the sort of jacket that you would want if you regularly tour through war-zones or exceptionally hostile neighborhoods late at night, although it will certainly give you a sense of security no matter where you go. It features two large front pockets and a high-rise collar to block the chill, as well. Price: $2,000.

Santacroce Washed Leather Bomber Jacket

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

Just like a suitcase, a black winter coat can get pretty boring pretty fast. The Santacroce Leather Bomber Jacket may be on the bright side, but the butterscotch tone will add spice and color to those dark and long winter days. You could virtually wear all black and still look as if you put thought to your outfit by wearing this jacket. The buttons are crystals to add some pizzazz and extra charm. It features three front pockets and if you didn't want to carry around a bag, there are additional pockets on either sleeve. Sizing Guide: Small = Size 2-4 Medium = Size 4-6. Always be sure to protect your leathers before use to lengthen the life. Price: $1,825.

Filed under: Apparel, Gadgets, Sports

If you are a skier and didn't get one for Christmas, you might want to consider getting yourself an Audex Motorola Dutchess Jacket before the season is over. Much like the hat we saw several months ago, this women's ski jacket has a Bluetooth stereo system built right into it. The jacket itself features Thermacore Insulation under a shell of plaid Storm-lite 3.0-E ballistic nylon. It has a removable hood, faux fur lining and collar and, despite having a reasonable amount of bulk that will keep you warm in almost any weather conditions, it has flattering, tapered seams. The Dutchess jacket is $600.

And don't worry guys, there are plenty of men's jackets to choose from, too.

Ralph Lauren Cashmere Drape Neck Cardigan

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

There are very few people who are going to complain about getting a cashmere sweater as a holiday gift. Softer than ordinary wool and warmer than most other fabrics, cashmere is a great choice for winter wear in general. Ralph Lauren's Cashmere Drape Neck Cardigan is a cross between a jacket and a sweater, as it is long with a relaxed fit, but is still snuggly enough to lounge around the house with. The wide shawl collar will keep even the coldest breezes at bay when worn outdoors, too. It is available in both cream and dark navy. Price: $900.

Cole Haan Suede Baseball Jacket

Filed under: Apparel

Need a casual jacket for fall? Cole Haan's Suede Baseball Jacket seems perfect for keeping the chill off and looking sharp in general. The jacket is lightweight and made of soft, supple suede with an acrylic/cotton knit lining. It has a form-fitting, elegant cut that makes it suitable for general wear, as well as for wearing out to an informal dinner or to late night party, but it is kept from looking too dressy by the raw edges. The jacket zips up the front and has a barely-there collar. Honestly, it looks best when it is left open, but this is the kind of jacket that will be flattering to almost anyone. Price: $495.

Dolce & Gabbana Men's Velvet Jacket

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

Velvet is back in style for fall and winter fashions, for men and women, and as the weather cools down a bit, it actually becomes more appropriate to wear the stuff. The Dolce & Gabbana Men's Velvet Jacket is a good example of how the plush fabric can look hip and be incredibly versatile at the same time. The well-cut jacket is could be appropriate for office wear and then transition to an evening out with just a simple change of shirt underneath. Opt for a more conservative white shirt to make this office-worthy, but both button-downs and tees can work under the blazer in the evening. Price: $1,475.

James Dean Jacket

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

James Dean was one of the hottest style icons of the 20th century, setting a standard for the young, renegade "bad boy" that so many aspired to be. Filling a role is a lot more difficult than it looks and, if given the chance to choose between the personality and the look, the odds are good that most would choose the look. The look is relatively easy to obtain, thanks to Dolce & Gabbana's James Dean Leather Jacket. The black lambskin bomber jacket has a zip front and two zip pockets at the chest, since real bad boys put their hands in their jeans' pockets. Price: $2,095.

Chair Wear

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, Decor

I will come right out and say that I do not agree with Issey Miyake's decision to make dual-purpose furniture and clothing, but given that he is making it using A-POC, cloth made in a revolutionary new process that is entirely done by machine, it could conceivably be the wave of the future. Make that the ripple of the future, because his newest creation is based on the design of a chair called "Ripple" that he made last year with designer Ron Arad. The new product, known as Gemini, is "a streamlined, body-cushioning seat pillow made of A-POC fabric, which morphs into an elegant body-hugging jacket." Elegant is not the word that I would use, but there is no doubt that this is a fairly innovative use for seat cushioning, an object that's only significant accomplishment (aside from actually cushioning the seat) to date has been doubling as a flotation device on airplanes. The Gemini chair cushion debuted in Milan and will be available retail in Miyake shops later this year for $1,360.

3.1 Philip Lim Victorian Jacket

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

I love how this Victorian Jacket by 3.1 Philip Lim fit Mena Suvari when she wore it to the Final Fantasy movie premiere. The fitted waist and short length of the jacket really hugged her curves. The jacket also has an old-fashioned, flared tail in the back. The cut would look amazing on anyone with a similar body type. The black and white of Mena's jacket was striking, but for a softer look, I prefer it in light pink. Price: $598.

Filed under: Apparel, Gadgets

Wouldn't it be nice to have a jacket that had compartments for all your gadgets? This jacket designed by SCOTTEVEST is for federal law enforcement agents and has 40 pockets, the majority of which are hidden. There are hidden conduits in the lining which allow you to thread and organize wires to keep them from tangling. The jacket is waterproof and can be sent through airport security without removing all your gadgets. The 40 pockets include compartments for your PDA, MP3 player, cellular phone, water bottle, wallet, keys, sunglasses and pens. The jacket also features a protective badge holder, a magnetic wind flap, and a zipped pocket-in-pocket system that turns one pocket into two. It sells for $229.95.
