Since Ohio's finally getting real winter weather for once, it seems as though it's time for me to invest some new jackets beyond my dad's old USMC hoodie (which I don't like to wear publicly, but am often forced to because of necessity) and my insanely heavy pea coat.
I've been looking at maybe investing in a hoodie from American Giant, and I'm also interested in getting a bomber jacket or similar, but I really have no idea what I should be looking for.
Also, I'm 6'1" and prefer 2/3XL sized coats.
I am curious if the american giant stuff is worth the price.
I am a cardigan and vest guy when it is not too cold in CNY (was running -10 last week which means real winter coat)
If I were going to buy a hoodie in the american giant price range I would probably look at something from cotopaxi, they are super cool to deal with and make very rugged gear

I really like mine. I'm afraid of spilling something on it, so I want another. But I'm afraid of spilling something on that too so I want two more.
@jrfox - Columbia and North Face have some pretty serious 'shells'. This adds to what Vid said about layers. Use shirts and hoodies to warm up but get a decent shell for waterproofing.

T-Shirt / Wadded up newspaper / Flannel Shirt (/ Windbreaker if raining or snowing)
You can substitute a plastic party tablecloth for the windbreaker (just cut/tear a hole somewhere near the middle) and they come in festive colors at the Dollar Tree.
Two Christmases ago my parents gifted me a fire retardant Carhartt. Great fucking hoodie!

Got myself my first Carhartt duck jacket this year. Combined with a basic hoodie from Target and Ive been pretty comfy so far this winter.
The advice about Carhartt sizing is to buy a size down. I was hesitant but it proved to be correct. I'm usually
XL but right on the verge of XXL. Their jacket fits me perfectly in large.
This is a very impressive collection of Roto Toms. That's 21 Roto Toms in all. That is only $33.00 a Roto Tom.
