Shell Jacket

A shell jacket in a dark grey polyester with a light stretch lining, cut as a practical layer for men through the changeable spring and autumn weather. The clean outer surface holds up to wind and daily wear, and the small amount of give in the lining means it moves with you rather than feeling stiff.

When the forecast can't make up its mind, this is the layer you reach for over a jumper or a shirt. Light enough that you won't overheat, but enough of a barrier to take the edge off a cool morning or a breezy evening.

Why this one

The dark grey sits easily with the rest of what you already own, so it works with jeans and trainers on an ordinary day just as well as with chinos and loafers for a smarter look.

Not for you if you need a jacket for real winter cold. For long stretches of frost, a heavier winter jacket will serve you better; this one is built for the milder in-between seasons.
