Khaki, hip length, and deliberately without a button: the front hangs open and the shawl lapel runs unbroken down both sides. The cloth is 92 percent polyester with 8 percent elastane, fully lined, so it slides over a sleeve instead of catching on it. Shoulders carry light padding, enough for a clean line and not enough to read as a suit jacket.

What matters on this one

Start here

No button, by design

There is nothing to fasten. The jacket is cut to fall open from the shawl lapel, which makes the layer underneath part of the outfit rather than something hidden away. It also sidesteps the usual trouble with a boxy jacket, which is the pull across the hip once it is buttoned.

Full lining, light padding

The inner lining is smooth and complete, so the jacket goes on and off over a blouse without dragging, and the elastane in the face cloth keeps it from feeling rigid. Light shoulder padding does the structural work, giving a neat shoulder line without the bulk of formal tailoring.

Pockets that open

The two front pockets are real rather than stitched shut for display, and they take a phone or a card holder. On an open-front jacket that counts for more than usual, since the hands have nowhere else to go once there is no closure to keep them busy.

Fit, honestly

Relaxed boxy H-line cut ending at the hip, with much the same width through chest and waist. The brand calls it moderately relaxed, so size for the layer underneath rather than for a close fit; the elastane gives a little, but the shape is straight by intention.
