Jacket Blond
This is one of the new styles I'm most excited about. It's a riff on this past F/W "track jacket" style, which I've been wearing a ton. The new one is much more substantial though, and is really special in that the body is fully lining in a wool knit, but attached in such a way that it hangs below the hem in the rear. So not only do you get glimpses of the knit lining at the collar and along the zippers, you always get a bit of it from the back as well.
The first version is the one pictured above: a high-contrast option in navy wool with a cobalt blue lining.
The second option is lower contrast with a sort of dusty green / sage body with a complementary light blue lining.Really nice for someone that doesn't want the bright lining of the above one.
JACKET HAIR
The knit lining theme continues with this jacket, and is really unique in that again the lining is floating, but is quite oversized. By this I mean it lends itself to being worn two ways: with the lining folded outward as an almost cardigan-like layer, or folded in to be more discreet but provide that same contrast and warmth.
The first makeup is the one seen above: a dark blue melton with tonal navy blue lining. This is sort of a great peacoat alternative with its shorter length and "1.5 breasted" style, and the blue on blue is the most classic of the combos.
The second option is also tonal, but in this case is a black boiled wool (hell yes) with black knit lining. I think this is the first time we've seen Stephan do boiled wool, and he's done it right with a very textural, very spongy option. The jacket seen below isn't the HAIR but is just for fabric reference.
The final option is another boiled wool, same as the black but instead in this great medium brown with a green knit lining. Maybe a little different than we've come to expect, but it came out beautiful.
