Fall 2016 Light Jackets

In the South, we're lucky to not have to deal with bitter cold, usually, 'til 'round January. Unless you live up on top of a mountain, you don't need a heavy coat for the latter part of the year. Below are just a few ideas to keep the crisp autumn breeze from making it's way completely to your bones and, ideally, making you look good at the same time.

SOUTHERN TIDE - Maritime Jacket


Southern Tide was started by a native Southerner who saw a gap in the marketplace for Southern Style. They're based out of Greenville, South Carolina. In the tradition of fifteenth century sailors, this wax coated cotton jacket has a corduroy collar and hound's-tooth cotton interior to keep you dry, and warm. And the navy blue color will go great with 'most everything, except maybe black slacks.

Southern Tide - Altitude Down Vest



Another classy vesture by Southern Tide--Can't go wrong with this light Down-Filled vest over a nice flannel while attending a football game or an rambling through a corn maze. I might suggest a big less typical flannel though - perhaps this one or this one? It even has zippered hand warmer pockets and elastic cuffs to keep in heat.


GAP - ColdControl Lite Stretch Colorblock Puffer Jacket


Modernly masculine and straight to the point. The Colorblock Puffer Jacket is made with quilted stretch weave with contrast lining to keep you extra comfortable and free to move about. The zippered front with a storm flap will keep out the wind and keep you nice and toasty no doubt on a hike up a mountain with the chick you just matched with on Bumble, if she ever sends you a message.
