When a
jacket carries the endorsement of WWII pilots, James Dean and Clint
Eastwood, there’s no denying its timeless, masculine appeal. For that
reason, and more, shearling jackets made our list of the top trends to watch for autumn/winter 2015.
However, to achieve a more contemporary take on this look, steer clear of your dad’s hand-me-downs and charity shop finds and invest in one of our current market picks.
While it might not offer the same warmth as the real deal, with some great styles on the high street it’s often hard to tell the difference without examining closely.
Constructed with a Teflon coated 60/40 cotton nylon shell, this water and windproof resistant jacket from American outerwear specialist Penfield incorporates a real shearling collar for a subtle on-trend boost.
The faux leather detailing, standout silver components and large front pockets makes this ideal to throw on for weekend lunches or after-work events.
The design has been kept minimal – with a button adjustable hem and hidden slash pockets – allowing it to be dressed up or down on demand.
Crafted from British merino sheepskin with a genuine shearling collar to match, this tan jacket’s premium feel and contemporary cut ensures it will remain relevant for many seasons to come.
A removable soft shearling collar means the jacket can be adapted for varying occasions, while the signature arm badge keeps it unmistakably Stone Island.
History aside, the label keeps its heritage-inspired pieces as relevant as ever, such as this navy wool pea coat, which comes complete with a dark soft-touch shearling collar and lapels for a suave take on the trend.
The dark denim shade will sit perfectly with other rich autumnal tones, plus everyone knows that famous red tab goes with just about anything.
Alongside the statement design comes great functionality, bolstered by a full faux fur lining and collar, adjustable side tabs and strong button fastenings.
Mix that with a light wool shell, elasticated hems and strong silver hardware and the result is the perfect blend of high-end luxury and street style.
