If you don't have the constitution to spend your weekend hunting through army-navy stores for something vintage, here's an easy, throw-and-go military-inspired jacket to layer with everything you own. This one’s made from lightweight, tone-on-tone seersucker in an especially versatile stone color. True to form, there are enough pockets to be functional — four at the front and a game pocket at the back, a feature originally borrowed from the old-school English hunting scene. A pocket like this was traditionally on the inside, at the back of the jacket (so poachers could sneak past gamekeepers with a pheasant or something stuffed in there.) Maybe you're an outdoorsman, but these days, we like the game pocket for something more like... a game? a notebook? a paperback? a wrapped present? a bag of chips? You'll figure something out. It'll be great.
