Sebastian Jacket

A softshell jacket in Dusty Truffle, a muted shade between mocha and mauve that sits somewhere other than the usual black and navy outerwear. Cut close through the shoulders and arms with a defined waist, it is a jacket for men who want one layer that handles shifting weather without looking like technical gear.

Most autumn days can't make up their mind: sun in the morning, wind by lunch, a shower at three. The structured softshell keeps the wind out and shrugs off the first drops, while the cut through the shoulders lets you move freely. A full-length zip runs right up under the chin, and the drawstring hood pulls in close around the neck when you need it.

Why this one

The colour does the work. Dusty Truffle pulls towards earth tones rather than grey, so it reads as the focal point of an outfit instead of just the thing you throw on when it's cold. Two zip pockets sit at the front.

How to wear it

• Relaxed: white t-shirt, light jeans and sneakers
• Sharper: a black roll-neck, dark trousers and chelsea boots
• For the office: over a plain shirt, zipped all the way up
