J.Crew Resin-Coated Twill Field Jacket Army Green

Downtown Field Military Jacket by J.Crew in a shade of dark olive called “mossy brown.” It’s been worn by Modern Family’s high-strung mom-of-three Claire Dunphy. It’s appeared twice on Scandal: First Lady Mellie Grant wore it to Camp David; then the former CIA operative and assassin-for-hire Becky Flynn wore it to shoot the president. Rashida Jones, as Ann Perkins, sported it on Parks and Recreation. It even enjoyed a cameo in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey. Venture into any city on a not-too-warm day, and you’ll spot a Downtown Field Jacket as often as you do a Starbucks. The jacket is made of lightweight waxed cotton, which means it’s waterproof if it needs to be, and it boasts a zipper up the front, in addition to a flap lined with gold snaps for extra protection from the elements. The snaps and many pockets initially give the jacket a raffish military vibe, but there is some alchemy to it that lets you assume any number of identities. Wear it in the winter in LA, in the spring in New York, and in the summer in SF. Come fall, wear it almost everywhere. Project a cool, careless, masculine femininity. If fashion is utility plus fantasy, then the Downtown Field Jacket fulfills the equation beautifully. Relaxed fit boyfriend field jacket 100% cotton. Standing collar. Hidden zip with snap closure. Chest pocket, flap patch pockets, hip pockets. Functional buttons at cuffs. Machine wash.
