Jackets — Litbuy Spreadsheet Buying Guide
Jackets are the highest-margin category in terms of perceived value. A good jacket transforms an outfit. The catalog includes puffers, denim jackets, windbreakers, and workwear-inspired outerwear. In 2026, buyers care most about fill weight (for puffers), hardware quality (zippers and snaps), and lining material. Denim jackets are judged by wash consistency and hardware details.
Buying Tips
- 1For puffers, check the fill weight and down ratio in the description.
- 2YKK zippers are a reliable quality indicator.
- 3Check the lining material. Nylon linings are more durable than polyester.
- 4Look for reinforced stitching at stress points.
Common Mistakes
- Buying puffers without checking fill weight. Light puffers look cheap.
- Ignoring the hardware quality. Cheap zippers break fast.
- Not checking the sleeve length. Oversized jackets need proportional sleeves.
- Overlooking pocket alignment and stitching depth.

Size Advice
Jackets are typically worn over layers, so size up if you plan to wear hoodies underneath. For a fitted look, true to size works. Always check the shoulder and sleeve length measurements.
