An unstructured, lightweight layer that's as at home in the bottom of a duffel as it is around the boardroom table. Because some jackets need to go anywhere, and they should look good doing it. With that in mind we enlisted an exceptional fabric woven in Japan from a blend of 70% cotton and 30% Cordura® ripstop nylon, the high-tenacity yarns add abrasion resistance and durability without giving up the hand-feel of natural cotton. The ripstop construction — a crosshatch weave originally developed for the US Airborne in WWII — isolates small tears so they can't spread. The fabric is dyed and finished in the Gifu Prefecture, at a specialized mill that has earned its reputation handling technical blends like this one. Up close, the deeply saturated ripstop grid is barely visible; from across the room, the cloth reads as fine cotton. Cut and sewn in New York City by our most trusted outerwear makers, the Possibilities Jacket features two generous patch pockets, one interior pocket, a vented back, a trapunto-stitched collar, herringbone interior reinforcements, a locker loop, and Corozo buttons. Light enough to forget you're wearing it, tough enough for the rigors of travel and work, and refined enough to wear with a necktie.
