Workwear Jacket
Expand your wardrobe with this rugged staple
With each season comes new fabrics, and now that we're in winter, hefty and luxe jackets should be on your radar or in your closet. Take, for example, this stunner of a jacket from A Kind of Guise—a chore coat on steroids. The formulation of a functional jacket mixed with a leather one is a match made in menswear heaven. Leather is also having a moment right now, whether it's a reliable jacket or a bold pair of pants. The Munich-based brand has built a solid reputation for clothing that's contemporary, classy and functional. They carefully select high-quality fabrics and produce as many garments locally as possible—which means that the brand's products are exclusively produced in Germany and Italy.
The Yukon jacket pulls from a myriad of inspirations—everything from a classic utility jacket to the wild West, which is what inspired the brand's campaign, “Road to Nowhere”. Made from supple pecan-colored 100% buffalo suede leather, it's form-fitting with knitted cuffs and patch pockets for practicality and comfort. The jacket is a statement piece, for sure, but it's also functional and versatile enough to last for a lifetime and sure to patina beautifully the more you wear it. Here are three ways to build a look around it.

The Dressy
Edit
Even if the jacket feels like a traditional utilitarian jacket, it can be dressed up. All it takes is a sleek pair of tapered trousers and some polished Chelsea boots to elevate it for a sharp appearance. Add matching accessories for colder days, and you're prepared for anything.

The Daily
Edit
An excellent option for a juxtaposing everyday look that doesn't lack comfort. Grab some comfortable trousers with a wide fit and elastic waistband to add the right amount of ease to this silhouette while adding some texture. Finish it off with a pair of throwback sneakers.
