Hi im looking for a long down parka for my husband for when he's walking from the garage into his office and stuff. But he hates the super puffy coats. So i was wondering would either the womens triple c down jacket, or the womens metropolis down jackets fit him?? And which would fit him best and would they look wierd on him being there womens jackets?

I'm a guy and have a fair few long down coats (too many but i really like them!) - Anyway I have this and the triple-c and they are both fine on guys - the only thing with the metropolis is the pockets are a little high for my liking - Others I have are Marmot Montreux, Columbia Luxey among others - just don't understand why there are not more mens long down coats

I respectfully disagree with the answer below. This jacket, along with the Triple C are popular for guys looking for a long down coat. Mine is the Triple C style. My wife, who got me the jacket says it looks very cool on me! With the metropolis, Im going by what i've read only that yes it is a popular choice for guys as well! It's the same with every idea that is new, even gloves and wrist watches were considered effeminate at one time for guys (and yes, even soap!) I hardly think a long down trench coat qualifies as girly in the slightest! Make sure it fits though. I am a tall slim build so the large size fit me perfect. (I usually wear mens medium)

Not sure what to suggest, but I think any of the women's long down coats would look odd on a man.
