These links are just examples. I'm not necessarily suggesting you purchase these exact items, but I do own and can personally recommend most of these. Most of these things can be found in local thrift shops for cheap or on eBay or there will be cheaper options available out there if you look.

The site is pretty ironic but [here is a fairly comprehensive guide] (http://www.artofmanliness.com/2011/12/21/cold-weather-dressing/) to cold weather wear.

I got the Amazon Basics Bomber Jacket in black last year and I've really liked it so far. Cool zipper on the arm, pocket on the inside, good elastic on the cuffs, and it's warm but not overwhelmingly so. A solid option at exactly $50, and I've received a few compliments on it

XS-S Black Harrington Trucker Jacket $27.99

XS Black Ink Stretch The Trucker $35.99

EDIT: Levi's Men's Heavy Cotton Canvas Work Wear Kent Hoody Bomber Medium Navy $41.24 and Medium Black $32.79

EDIT: Medium Charcoal Soft Shell Active Hooded Bomber Jacket $36.09

Starting to cool down here. Finally got to rock a jacket this morning. Opted for my leather jacket, but its kinda overkill. I've been thinking about picking up a black camo m65 and using that as a mild weather jacket.

What jackets y'all gonna rock this autumn/winter?

Musterbrand Star Wars Men Jacket Rebel Pilot Orange XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K7ZHPB8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_iO4SDbFK7CJ79

I did read the description. I've never heard of the brand, and they're making something out of polycotton, so I was trying to say that you could get something from a more reputable brand in a better fabric for your money. But since you want something similar, here's a few minutes of searching from me. All prices are US because that's where I am, but I worked with a 140 USD budget which is about 130 euros.

This is very similar to the jacket you linked, for roughly 40 euros less:
https://www.amazon.com/Mil-Tec-Smock-Lightweight-Black-size/dp/B008OH2BIA/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1491914848&sr=8-6&keywords=military+smock

If you're willing to go softshell these are also cheaper:

https://www.amazon.com/SUMMIT-SOFTSHELL-JACKET-GRAPHITE-L/dp/B01350YYG2/ref=sr_1_70?ie=UTF8&qid=1491915580&sr=8-70&keywords=condor+outdoor

https://www.amazon.com/FREE-SOLDIER-Multi-function-Tactical-Softshell/dp/B01MECRBKI/ref=sr_1_30?srs=16187252011&ie=UTF8&qid=1491915284&sr=8-30

There's also this Nike jacket which could probably be found in other sizes for around 100 euros
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nike-Internationalist-Windrunner-Jacket-L-802371-010-/292074053790

and this Adidas jacket which was reviewed here yesterday at half of what you're looking to pay:

or

https://www.surfdome.us/adidas_originals_jackets_-_adidas_originals_utility_parka__-_black-258263

There's even these H&M jackets for much cheaper that would approximate the aesthetic you're going for

I was able to get the company name from one of the zipper pulls. Is this the jacket you're wearing?

Since I got a bonus for doing well last month at my job, in the forum of a Amazon gift card, I decided to spend it on cloths. I am in the process of redoing my wardrobe and I think I'm done with the basics.

Here are the links of what I got,

Hanes Beefy-T in Black, Grey and Navy

Brown/black Belt to Match shoes I bought

Brown Watch Band to match my belt

Chinos in Olive & Navy

Blue and white Oxford Shirt

French Terry Full-Zip Hoodie in Navy and Black

Florsheim Men's Montinaro Wingtip Oxford In Brown

Reebok Men's Club Memt Classic Sneaker White

Bomber Jacket Black

Levi's Men's Straight Chino Twill Pant

Levis 502 in Dark Hollow

In addition to what is hear, I have a Charcoal Sports Coat, A Charcoal Suit, and Other Various Button Down Shirts.

​

It does not appear to be on costco.com, but it was in my local store this week.

Speak for yourself!

Hey man here’s a similar colorway: Nike Lab ACG Men's Jacket (Anthracite/Hyper Magenta/Hyper Jade/Barely Volt, X-Large) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HL88VLJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_o3iADb9D7W70P

It will be hard to find as this is last years jacket

I'm sure that's a nice parka, but something for 10°F isn't even close to what I'm talking about. I already have this.

https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/clothing-mens/winter-jacket/mountain-hardwear-chillwave-jacket

That's fine for around town and car camping. I wouldn't use that if I had an outdoor job in an area that has long bouts of temperatures below -40°F before accounting for windchill.

If I went for a Canada Goose parka, it'd be something that be warm in temperatures at least 20°F colder, so we're talking -40°F, with tougher fabric, more pockets, fur ruff, wire lined hood.

This Moncler River looks warm enough, but lacks pockets, and costs about $1000 more than an equivalent Canada Goose parka.

This Outdoor Survival Canada Mission Parka looks like it has the right design and may be even warmer, but still costs more.

Maybe the Chenega II. It might be good enough, but I need more information. It's roughly 25-50% cheaper.

In the same price range is the Fjallraven Arktis. Same comments as the Chenega II.

The Triple F.A.T. has a bit more down than the Chenega and Fjallraven, and is less expensive too. Still far from being 25% the cost though.

I’ve had excellent luck with this beater.
Columbia Men's Cypress Crossing Anorak Hooded Shell Jacket (Black/Khaki, XXL) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DT6M7MP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_sLWtDbXDDTY7C

Not sure if you're still looking, but this one is pretty similar

I struggled with this same issue until I found this jacket:

Eddie Bauer Men's Sandstone Soft Shell Jacket, Black Regular S https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V39YDQH/

It's been amazing. I also bought a lightweight Patagonia down sweater, but I find it to be too warm most of the time.

also you can cop retail tnf fanorak for like $70, the retail is VERY waterproof and windproof
https://www.amazon.com/The-North-Face-Mens-Fanorak/dp/B072ZVDG51?th=1

Couldn't find any similar from Nike in red/grey color combo, there is a bit similar Nautica I came across, though I'm not sure if available in the U.K.

If it's just the sleeves that are too baggy you might want to try a different style than the typical MA-1 slim bomber.

I know this one I got here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0119N95ES/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

which is the "Skymaster" was a true thin fit and fit way more streamlined especially in the arms than the normal MA-1 slim bomber.

This is the jacket here:
https://www.amazon.com/Alpha-Industries-Skymaster-Resistant-Flight/dp/B0119N95ES?th=1&psc=1

It's $139 for the Navy in S, which is the exact same as mine.

I use this jacket. It's waterproof (I wore it while biking all last winter. No leaks), but the texture on it looks like a nice cloth material. It's also thin, so you can wear it in the late spring, or layer in winter.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N9OGOZY

Please recommend me rainproof jackets that have insulation. I need a lightweight rainproof jacket that has insulation so I don't sweat if there isn't sweat weather. This seemed like the perfect jacket but I heard it retain moisture from sweat and it isn't breathable.

http://www.amazon.com/Paradox-Waterproof-Breathable-Jacket-Charcoal/dp/B00N9OGOZY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Any alternatives to this, I like it but only has two iffy reviews. Otherwise just happy for any suggestions for a somewhat nice looking weatherproof jacket I could wear with jeans. But not like this standard rain jacket.

I'm assuming you mean this one: http://www.amazon.com/Condor-Summit-Lightweight-Jacket-609-002-L/dp/B007WY025K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418949661&sr=8-1

Looks solid, but I also found this in suggested items: http://www.amazon.com/TRU-SPEC-Tactical-Softshell-Jacket-Medium/dp/B009LQ1MXI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1418949833&sr=8-5

How do you think the two compare as far as thickness go, if you can make an educated guess?

Has Carhartts quality kinda suffered recently? My old jacket was only in its second year when the seam where the pocket was ripped open. I had one of these and the pocket ripped open on the front and just held by a flap. I am guessing it caught in the washer but i have had cheaper hoodies that have not had that problem so it makes me weary of Carhartt.

It was super god damm warm though. I actually cant find the damm thing which is why i posted this lol.

I would suggest the Condor Summit Jacket Condor Summit Soft Shell Tactical Jacket, Color Black, Size Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005XZY0BW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mSJWDbNSA389M

I've had mine for about a year and it still looks brand new. The hood easily fits over helmets and it folds up into the collar when not in use. Lots of pockets and while not breathable it does have armpit zippers if get too warm. It is definitely a bit heavier and thicker material than the ones you posted, but that allows me to often wear just the softshell and stay warm.

North Face Venture Jacket:

Edit (COLORS):

Here you go its just about the same thing but its missing a few details that the artists have taken libertys on. Actually a very nice jacket and you supposed to wear a fleece under. I wear it whenever I go to the range with actual firearms so I'm sure it will hold up to shitty airsoft. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007WY025K/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1449149242&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=condor+softshell&dpPl=1&dpID=31SB2Bvt8UL&ref=plSrch
