What Kind of Jacket Should I Go For For My Purposes?

Hello, I am looking for a jacket right now to wear under my thick coat/jacket in winter, and on its own in fall. I will wear it on my t-shirts, vintage and casual shirts, thin jumpers etc. I am considering a bomber right now like this:https://www.pullandbear.com/tr/erkek/giyim/kareli-astarlı-ceket-c1030210560p501540076.html?cS=500
Also I am not sure how these jackets are called: https://images.app.goo.gl/ayvFK8d2tiEPrTKf6
The guy on the right is wearing, I know it fits him very loose and I will get something that fits me better, but I like his jacket, and I think it might be good for my purposes. What is it called?
Other than these, what kind of jackets can I get? Thanks a lot!

If you're talking about the bassist in that stray cats photo, it looks like a harrington. Either a bomber or a harrington could look pretty similar depending on which brand you buy, it really comes down to what you like the look of. Also consider things like whether you want it to be heavily lined or not (probably not if you're going to layer it a bunch), if you want it to be waterproof, etc.

Thanks a lot! I think I will look for bombers that are not heavily lined :)
