The gap between summer and a proper winter coat is where most men’s wardrobes show their weaknesses. Too warm for the heavy wool overcoat, too cold for just a shirt. This is exactly where a well chosen autumn jacket earns its place, and earns it repeatedly. We’ve been thinking about what we’d actually reach for when the temperature drops to that awkward in between and the occasion could go several ways. The jackets in here cover that ground without being confused about what they are. A good overshirt in a heavier brushed cotton. A field jacket with real structure. A harrington that does more than nostalgia. We’ve looked at weight, at collar behaviour in a breeze, at whether the pockets are positioned for actual use rather than appearance. These are the pieces we’d fold into a bag for a long weekend away without a second thought, and wear just as confidently on a Tuesday in the city.
