Brown Single Breasted Gabardine Jacket
New & Lingwood · £345
Worth being NRY provisional
Wool gabardine, three buttons, patch pockets and a half lining, which is a lot of jacket for £345. Gabardine is a tightly woven worsted that holds a crease and resists rain better than a soft tweed, so it earns its keep as the one odd jacket that handles a British autumn. The half lining is the giveaway that it is built to be worn rather than to hang well in a shop.
- For
- Someone who wants one jacket that works over knitwear and under a coat.
- Not for
- Anyone who wants the soft, rumpled look, which a tight gabardine will not give.
What we checked
- It has three front buttons, patch pockets and a half lining. New & Lingwood
