I didn’t think I needed another jacket.
Honestly, I thought I had enough: a puffy vest for chilly mornings, a structured trench for work, and that one old windbreaker I’d had since college. But none of them ever felt *right* for the messy in-between days—the kind where it’s sunny but windy, or you’re running errands after a walk, or you just need something that looks put-together without trying.
Then I tried this new outer layer—lightweight, slightly crinkled, in a soft olive green—and I haven’t taken it off since.
It’s not flashy. There’s no logo, no zippers everywhere, no “tech” look. It just… works.
I wore it on a trail walk last weekend. The fabric moved with me—no pulling when I reached for my dog’s leash, no stiffness when I bent down to tie my shoe. A light drizzle started on the way back, and instead of panicking, I just kept walking. The water beaded right off. And because it’s breathable, I didn’t end up sweaty and sticky like I do in my old “performance” jacket.
The next day? Same jacket, over a sweater, dropping my kid at school. Someone even asked where I got it—said it looked like a designer piece. I laughed. It’s machine-washable. I threw it in the laundry last night with my leggings, and it came out looking exactly the same.
What really surprised me is how little space it takes up. I folded it into my tote for a weekend trip, and it stayed crumpled in the corner the whole time. When I pulled it out Sunday morning? Barely a wrinkle. No ironing. No fuss.
It’s made from this lightweight crinkle ripstop fabric that’s somehow both soft and durable. It’s got four-way stretch, so it never feels restrictive. And it’s locally sourced, which I didn’t think I cared about—until I realized how much I appreciate not having to dry clean something I wear three times a week.
Now, I keep it by the door. Rain or shine, it’s my go-to. It’s replaced my vest, my windbreaker, and honestly, half my “nice” coats.
If you’re like me—tired of outerwear that either looks good but doesn’t function, or functions but looks like gym gear—this might be the middle ground you’ve been missing.
Right now, they’ve got styles in charcoal, black, and that olive green I love. And with 25% off site-wide, it’s a perfect time to try it.

Sometimes the best upgrade isn’t buying more—it’s finding the one thing that quietly makes everything easier.
