The verdict
Fit
Track-jacket cuts are traditionally relaxed through the torso and tapered at cuffs. Ripstop construction suggests durability. Expect roomy shoulders and a casual stance.
Quality
Wool ripstop delivers durable, weather-resistant construction. Mainline details and seaming are refined; built to last through extensive rotation.
Is the price fair?
At $1,390, premium pricing. The quality justifies a high price, but conventional track jackets in ripstop cost 40-50% less without the Fear of God branding.
Best for
Buyers seeking a functional, high-quality track jacket with designer credentials and weather-resistant materials.
Care
Dry clean for optimal longevity. Home washing risks color shift and material degradation in ripstop.
What owners report about Fear of God jackets & outerwear
Coverage splits sharply by line. Reviewers of the mainline describe premium materials and deliberate, boxy cuts, but some buyers report quality-control problems such as uneven stitching, which they call disappointing on outerwear priced from the high hundreds into four figures. Editorial coverage of the cheaper Essentials outerwear is lukewarm: reviewers call the pieces fine but say this is the category where the value is weakest, since the same money buys outerwear from makers that specialize in it. One exception is the bonded satin bomber, a pricier Essentials piece one editor counted among the year's best jackets.
- Strengths
- The design language — oversized, minimal-branding silhouettes with premium fabrics on the mainline — is what reviewers say owners are actually buying.
- Watch out for
- Reported uneven stitching on mainline pieces and Essentials outerwear that reviewers judge functionally unremarkable for its price are the recurring complaints.
- Sizing
- Cuts across both lines are deliberately oversized and boxy, so the fit is meant to read roomy rather than tailored.
