Which is warmer for winter?

The Reiss Azura. It has a quilted body and a filled, detachable hood. The Via Spiga is a lightweight faux-leather shell with no insulation.

Is the Via Spiga worth it over the Reiss?

Only if price and look matter most. At $53.98 at Shop Simon as of November 7, 2026 it costs far less, but you give up the hood, the quilting and the cotton shell.

Which is easier to care for?

Neither is machine washable. The Reiss is dry clean only. The Via Spiga is spot clean only and must not be dry cleaned or bleached.

Which has more size options?

The Via Spiga. It runs US 4, 6, 14 and 20 plus XS to XXL. The Reiss comes in US 4, 6, 10 and 12.

The Via Spiga has a self-tie belt at the waist. The Reiss is double breasted without a listed belt, so its straight fit hangs looser.

Which is better for rain?

The Reiss, mainly because of its hood. Its cotton-blend shell is not described as waterproof, and the faux-leather Via Spiga has no hood.
