28 Field Jackets for Versatile, Effortless Layering
28 Field Jackets for Versatile, Effortless Layering
The pillars of a well-crafted field jacket are centered around fabric and hardware. Many styles are cut from a cotton canvas or cotton twill texture and accompanied by large pockets, buttons, zippers, and sometimes a drawcord for the waist (even if you leave it loose, the cinching gives a nice utilitarian effect). Beyond the basics, length and color palette are other considerations, with many options hitting around the hips and variations of neutrals—camel, cargo, olive, khaki—being your top choices. Below, take a style cue from 28 of the season’s newest and best field jackets.
