The Barn jacket has a natural rugged quality that works perfectly for your casual weekend with a pair of jeans, sweatshirt and tee, as fittingly as it can for the professional work week. The length of the jacket fits over a suit or sports jacket well, and the juxtaposition of a crisp tailored suit against the tough waxed cotton, makes any guy look rakishly cool. The jacket has preppy roots, but twisting the way you choose to wear it will make all the difference. The nice thing is this jacket gives you lots of options of how to wear it.
The new iteration of the Barn jacket is part of J. Crews Editions collection-where classic J. Crew styles will be reimagined in collaboration with favorite brands of the house. This pairing is without doubt a winner, because it takes cues from what the two brands do so well and merge them together to create a new iconic classic.
Highlights that makes this one a hit include the Barbour Care 4 oz lighter-weight wax used (making this 30% lighter than a typical Barbour), corduroy straight-point collar that looks good flipped-up or not, and the original tartan lining that pops when seen and adds a layer of unique style starting from within. One thing to remember as well when investing in this new original is it will get better with age the more often you wear it. The waxed cottons natural tendency of taking on the toughest elements, is enhanced wear-and-tear. This will add character and coolness to this jacket for many years to come.
