The impossible jacket

6 replies

I'm travelling back to the UK for the first time in years and cramming in friends from rural Scotland to London via various cities in between. So I need to pack things that can multi task, and I'm really struggling to find a jacket.

My utopia is black, light weight to carry, relatively non creasing in case I need to pack it and that won't look out of place for a wander followed by rural pub (but not likely proper hiking), walking round cities (gallery/lunch/visiting friends type thing) and even over clothes to go out if its particularly rainy or cold.

I quite liked ...
ADD Full-length Jacket - Women ADD Full-length Jackets online on YOOX Hong Kong - 16057331XK - don't think it quite hits the rural-ness and wasn't familiar with the brand.
Surplus Jacket - Black | Alo Yoga - doesn't quite hit over clothes to go out

I looked for a black utility jacket that was a bit more fashion over function but couldn't see anything but think that kind of style might work

So lots of lovely black jackets and coats but none quite hit the mark. Any suggestions or recent good finds?

The first one is beautiful! Second one isn't a patch on it

@myveryloudsun yes I do like that first one, might need to do some googling on the brand
@Kiitos Uniqlo - of course should have thought of them. Thank you! I like the longer one, I'm a slim apple shape so never sure cropped works well for me.

Have a look at Protected Species, beautiful and stylish jackets, don't seem to crease, in a variety of styles and suitable for almost any occasion. I have a few and they all still look brand new. Great to haul on and they get thrown about in back seat of cars, etc. They also have great customer service.
