Stand Collar Bomber Jacket

The jacket that makes everything underneath it look better.

That's the entire job. Throw it over a tee and you're dressed. Throw it over the heavyweight knit and you're dressed for something. It's a mid-weight cotton blend with a stand collar, a two-button throat latch and elasticated cuffs and hem — a proper Harrington shape, cut short and boxy the way it's meant to be.

The part you'll notice on the third wear: there's 10% spandex in it. Unusually high for a jacket. It means it moves when you reach for something instead of pulling across the back, and it doesn't feel like a stiff shell over your shoulders. Most outerwear at this weight fights you slightly. This doesn't.

In ecru, which is the point. Every jacket you own is navy, black or olive. This one goes with all of them.

• 290gsm cotton blend with 10% spandex: substantial, and it actually moves
• Stand collar with throat latch: button it up when the wind turns
• Dropped shoulder, boxy cut: room across the chest, nothing pulling
• Elasticated hem and cuffs: holds the shape, keeps the wind out
• Side welt pockets: clean lines, nothing bulking out the front
• Nothing on the outside: no logo, no branding
• Ecru: the layer that works over everything else you own

Wear it:

• Over a tee from spring through autumn
• Over the heavyweight knit when it's colder
• With the ecru trouser as a set, or broken up with denim
• Anywhere a coat would be too much and a hoodie not enough
