How does Moncler's numbered sizing translate to US sizes?

Moncler size 1 is roughly a small, 2 a medium, 3 a large, and so on upward. The Oahu is a relaxed fit, so many buyers size down one step from their usual letter size.

Is the Oahu warm enough for serious winter?

Yes. It is a heavyweight down-filled parka with a hood and long body, built for below-freezing city winters. It is more coat than jacket.

Can it be machine washed?

The care label lists machine wash, but down needs a low-heat cycle and thorough tumble drying with dryer balls to restore loft. Hand washing or professional cleaning is safer.

What colors and sizes are offered?

It comes in black, green and nero, in sizes 1, 2, 5 and 6 depending on stock. Availability varies by size and color.

When is the best time to buy it?

Down parkas usually discount at the end of winter and in mid-season sales. Check the price history to see whether the current price is near its low.

Our take on the Moncler Oahu Men's Down Jacket

The Moncler Oahu is a long parka-style down jacket in nylon with a hood, a zip front and a relaxed fit. It is a heavyweight winter piece, filled with down and cut long enough to cover the thighs. Sizes run 1 through 6, in black, green and nero. It is a luxury label, so expect a four-figure price at most stockists; check the current best price against its recent range before buying.
