Jackets — Litbuy Spreadsheet
Jackets are the highest-value category in the Litbuy spreadsheet because outerwear construction involves more materials, more hardware, and more opportunities for detail errors. This category covers puffers, bombers, denim jackets, windbreakers, and technical shell pieces. The three biggest quality indicators are zipper branding, lining material, and stitching density. A good jacket should feel substantial without being stiff. The full catalog has a wide range of outerwear, and this guide helps you filter the worthwhile pieces from the shortcuts.
What to Expect in Jackets
Puffers range from lightweight to heavy insulation
Bombers are the most popular style by order volume
Technical shells require seam-tape and waterproofing QC
Denim jackets are the most durable but vary in wash quality
Buying Tips for Jackets
Check the zipper pull branding — YKK or custom pulls are a good sign
Look at the lining material in QC photos — cheap linings tear fast
Verify the stitching count per inch on seams
Check for interior pocket construction and placement
