This jacket style has a lot of cultural touchpoints: 30s golf scene, 60s soap operas, 90s Britpop. Choose your reference. (We're not kidding about the soap opera thing; it literally takes its name from Ryan O'Neal's Peyton Place character.) But you don't need a mental image to get the usefulness of a shape like this: light, sporty, and designed for movement with adjustable tabs at the sides and a two-way zipper. It's made of dry-waxed cotton poplin from Scotland in a classic Gordon tartan (a nice little nod to history; traditionally Harrington jackets were made with tartan linings.)
