How do Moncler Jackets fit?

Moncler coats and jackets are one to have for a lifetime, so before you invest in a timeless piece, you’ll want to know what size is suited to you. Here’s everything you need to know about Moncler’s sizing.

Firstly, you’ll need to know that Moncler sizing for jackets and coats is numerical eg, size 0, 1, 2, etc. Although this sounds confusing, it translates quite easily.

Does Moncler fit true to size?

Winter jackets, such as the Maya, tend to have easier sizing to figure out with it being a normal fit. Whereas lighter coats and gilets such as the Gui and Tibb models usually have a smaller and shorter fit than normal winter jackets, so choosing your size may be more difficult. We recommend sizing up if you are unsure of the right fit for you.

Moncler’s polos, cardigans, t-shirts, and jumpers also usually fit small. Due to these items arriving in a slim fit, we suggest that if that isn’t the style you are going for, then size up. The key thing to do when looking to invest in a Moncler coat is to check the measurements and also measure yourself as the garments can vary a lot in size. Compare measurements of another piece you own that fits you to the Moncler coats to give you your recommended size.

What else do I need to take into consideration when buying a Moncler item?

Before picking your size, you should also consider what you will wear underneath. Thinking about the climate you live in is a must, if you tend to layer your outfits with other garments to stay warm during colder months, sizing up is advised to allow you to do so. Due to the garments already having that snug fit, layering will start to become restricting and maybe impossible. However, if the jacket is very insulating and winters are mild you might wear the jacket with a t-shirt or slim-fit sweater underneath. In this case, going for your usual size may not be so bad, as no extra room is needed for layering.

The Greatest Moncler Jackets of All Time

If you’re kicking about in the North East or having a browse online, then you know that Aphrodite is the place to go if you want to grab yourself a bit of Moncler. After all, we’ve stocked the brand for years, and with each and every season hundreds of quality pieces find themselves on our shop floor, before being picked up by you lovely lot of course. Because of this, our staff have become accustomed to the quality of the brand’s offerings, and have had a chance to truly appreciate the intricate design and outstanding functionality of many of the greatest Moncler jackets year after year.

So in honour of Moncler’s 70th anniversary (and as little excuse to show off our all time favourite pieces) we’ve put together an Aphrodite x Moncler Staff Picks.

Moncler – ‘The Original’ Down Jacket

Kenzie Wooton – Online Editor

“For me, its important to look at the roots of the brands that we all know and love. What Reme Ruffini has done for Moncler, since he bought the brand, is incredible. He’s propelled a struggling ski-wear brand into a world leading luxury fashion company, all while staying true to the brands roots. Thats it, that’s the reason I love Moncler. So as i’m asked to choose my favourite Moncler Jacket, I simply have to look to the original. The ‘duvet’ style puffer jacket, the first of its kind… An icon.”

Moncler – Zipped Padded Cardigan

Andy Mcardle – Assistant Store Manager

“So I chose this as my favourite Moncler item as I think it’s timeless with many well thought out details. For example, the tonal badge, lightweight down front and comfortable knitted arms and rear making it an ideal transitional item for the colder months. The two-way zip is always a deal breaker for us here in store too. Also it looks pretty much identical to the one that Daniel Craig wore in that iconic chase scene through the Alps in Spectre!”

Moncler for Lionel Terray – Lambert Jacket

Stewart Buck – Stock Control & Replenishment Executive

“K2 is an iconic mountain range that can really push a climber to their limits, and attempting the climb without properly made gear can be fatal. When a team of climbers set out to summit K2 in 1954, Moncler and Lionel Terray worked together to push the perceived limits of fabric and technological innovation. 60 years later a team set out to replicate the climb, leading to Moncler creating the stunning Lambert Jacket. This is truly one of the greatest Moncler jackets. It’s simple, it’s stylish, it’s functional and I love it.”

Moncler – Maya Jacket

Chris Blake – Assistant E-Commerce Manager

“The quintessential ski jacket: hooded, perfectly puffed up, and glossy as the slopes of Chamonix. A cornerstone of contemporary fashion that traverses both sportswear and street style, the Maya is the ace up the sleeve that epitomises the image and spirit of Moncler. Despite receiving celebrity endorsements, the Maya silhouette transcends fleeting trends; its essence is rooted in the heritage of a brand that is every bit as relevant today as it was upon its inception 70 years ago.”

Moncler Grenoble – Montgetech Jacket

Jorge Maddison – Senior Store Assistant / Visual coordinator

“I picked this as my favourite as I love the weight of the jacket, and its ideal for weather transitions. If you’re dealing with snow or rain you can always rely on the Montgetech. It’s a stunning silhouette with subtle branding which in my eyes only helps to elevate the piece; after all, less is more. “

7 facts about Moncler and CEO Remo Ruffini

As Moncler enter their 70th year, we felt it was about time we shared some lesser known facts about the brand that has done everything from traversing mountain summits, winning Olympic gold medals, and revolutionising the streets of Milan. Now under the inspired leadership of Remo Ruffini, we toast the anniversary of a true industry icon; Moncler, here’s to 70 more.

1. Origin Story – An Icon is Born

In the brand’s founding year, Moncler were not the Moncler we know today. 1952 witnessed the inception of the brand’s very first collection comprising tents, a quilted sleeping bag, and a single hooded cape. The brand’s iconic down jackets, for which modern-day Moncler is globally renowned, were initially developed in 1954 to shield its workers from the biting temperatures of the brand’s namesake town, Monestier-De-Clermont.
Fortuitously, these padded pieces of staff uniform garnered the attention of renowned French mountaineer Lionel Terray, who expressed the possibility of selling the garments. Moncler embraced the idea and the rest, as they say, is history.

2. The Exploration – Reaching New Heights

Moncler’s now signature quilted ‘duvet’ jacket equipped pioneering Italian duo, Achille Compagnoni, and Lino Lacedelli, on their successful bid to conquer the summit of the world’s second highest peak: K2. Residing in the Karakorum mountain range of Pakistan, the uppermost reaches of K2 had not played host to any living person in history. Then, in 1954, two intrepid alpinists entered the death zone of what to this day remains one of the world’s most technically and logistically challenging peaks, 8,611 metres above sea level, decked out in Moncler.
The DNA and mountaineering spirit of that original jacket lives on in every Moncler garment.

3. Olympic Winter Games, Grenoble ’68

The winter of 1968 fell deep within the golden era of competitive skiing. The Olympic Winter Games, held that year in idyllic Grenoble, south-east France, bore witness to the legendary French male downhill team, whose record-breaking gold medal sweep was attained while kitted out head-to-toe in, you guessed it, Moncler. The proud affiliation with such unparalleled high-performance technical apparel spawned the brand’s offshoot range, Moncler Grenoble; a collection that delivers impeccable functional equipment inspired to this day by the heroics of the ’68 French downhill ski team.

4. Monduck

From the very same Olympic Winter Games emerged a rather unlikely partnership between the highly-regarded outerwear masters and a cartoon duck. Yes, that’s right, a cartoon duck. Monduck is the now famous Moncler mascot, most commonly illustrated scaling mountains or parachuting whilst donning the latest down jackets. Check the inside of your latest Moncler outerwear and you’ll receive the garment care instructions from the one and only Monduck. This affable brand mascot is, in the words of chairman and creative director Remo Ruffini, ‘indispensable’.

5. Moncler Genius – High Fashion Collaborations

Fast forward 50 years and in 2018, under the stewardship of progressive chairman Remo Ruffini, the Moncler Genius project is conceived. Combining contemporary ‘drop’ culture with exclusive collaboration, the Genius concept from Moncler launches unique and immersive collections at various checkpoints throughout the year, bypassing dependency on the traditional fashion calendar entirely. Among the star-studded roster of collaborators are Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli and London luminaries Craig Green and JW Anderson.

6. Acquisition – High Profile Partners

In 2020, the global COVID pandemic made for as distorted a year as any brand will likely ever face and yet, in 2020, Moncler acquired 100% of fellow Italian giant Stone Island. The €1.2billion transaction added a significant distinctive asset to Moncler’s portfolio but despite the acquisition, Stone Island fans have been assured there will be none of the unwanted changes typically experienced after such a high-profile takeover. Remo Ruffini has expressed the mutual appreciation he shares with Stone Island’s Carlo Rivetti, insisting ‘the DNA, the collection, the communication, and product, don’t have to change.’
This partnership will certainly be one to keep a close eye on for many seasons to come.

7. The Pledge – Futureproofing

Under Remo Ruffini’s direction, Moncler has modernised to become a truly innovative entity in the contemporary sphere. In 2022, it has become increasingly clear that today’s consumers expect brands to reject the traditional practice of harming animals for the sake of fashion and instead favour sustainable and morally credible alternatives. Consistent with their long-term commitment to responsible business practices, Moncler have vowed to become entirely fur-free by 2024. Add to this that the brand are already 100% carbon neutral at all corporate sites worldwide, 80% of their electricity use comes from renewable sources, and 52% of management positions are occupied by women. There are many facets to Moncler’s evolution but Ruffini is crystal clear about one thing: ‘long-term success comes from creating shared value.’

8. Bonus Fact

When Remo Ruffini took over the helm in 2003, Moncler were on the verge of bankruptcy. By 2013, Moncler went public on the Italian stock exchange, and their value went stratospheric, reaching €4 billion…in a single afternoon.

Moncler SS’19: From Summits to Streets

Moncler SS’19 showcases the brand’s dedication to the perfect blend of functionality and fashion.

This all-white ensemble gives visions of fresh powder snow at basecamp and offers a more laid-back take on Moncler’s usual aesthetic. The Montreal Jacket in White boasts a technical design whilst dripping in French tri-colour goodness with unapologetic branding to the chest and sleeve.

Designed with the finest ‘duvet neuf’ quilted panels; this seasons Gui Gilet is not only a personal favourite of ours but probably one of the best insulating layering pieces we’ve come across. Moncler ensures to deliver their products to the highest standard and this piece is no exception, featuring a two-way zip closure, angled side pockets for easy access and the brand’s iconic logo plaque to the chest.

The outfit is completed with the similarly impressive Dreux Jacket.
