Men's Corduroy Jacket - Retro Casual, Unpadded, S to 2XL

An unpadded corduroy jacket in a retro cut - a shorter body, a squarer shoulder and patch pockets rather than welts. Unpadded is the specification that matters: this is a jacket for spring and autumn, cut to layer rather than to replace a coat.

What it is made of

One hundred per cent cotton corduroy. The wale gives the jacket its surface: light catches the standing ribs and shadows the channels, so a plain colour reads as textured rather than flat. Cotton corduroy also softens at the elbow and cuff with wear, which is exactly where a retro jacket should soften.

How it fits

A regular fit with long sleeves, unpadded and unlined through the body. Sizes S to 2XL in army green or black. Without padding the shoulder follows your own line rather than a constructed one, so it layers under a coat without bulk at the seam.

Where it earns its place

• Unpadded, so it layers under a coat instead of competing with one
• Corduroy wale gives a plain colour depth and shadow
• Patch pockets rather than welts, in keeping with the retro cut
• Softens at the elbow and cuff exactly where it should
