You step out into the first hard cold of the season and the collar folds up warm against your neck without you thinking about it.

This is a casual cotton jacket built for cold, dry days. The cotton shell holds its shape while a thick polyester sherpa fleece lines the whole body and folds over into a wide turn down collar, which is the part that traps the warmth when the wind picks up.

Front buttons close over an inner zip for a double seal, two hand pockets sit at the waist, and a drawcord gathers the hem so the cold does not creep up. A quiet A.R.M.Y. print marks the chest and the outer comes in khaki, green and dark blue.

Key Benefits

• Sherpa fleece lining A thick polyester fleece lines the body and collar to hold warmth on cold days.
• Turn down fleece collar The wide collar folds back to show the pile and stands up against the wind.
• Button and zip front Front buttons close over an inner zip so you can seal the front two ways.
• Cotton outer A sturdy cotton shell in khaki, green or dark blue that wears in over time.
• Hand pockets and drawcord hem Two waist pockets warm the fingers and a drawcord pulls the base in.
• Wide size run Sized M to 5XL in a relaxed cut.

Best for: Cold, dry days, the school run, dog walks and errands when you want a warm casual jacket rather than a technical parka.

Why It Works

A cold weather jacket earns its keep on the warmth it holds and how easily it goes on. Here the sherpa fleece runs edge to edge, including the collar where heat usually escapes, and the double button and zip front lets you close it tight or leave the buttons open over the zip. It is a casual field jacket, not a rain shell, so it shines on crisp dry days rather than in a downpour.

Quick Product Facts: Cotton outer with polyester sherpa fleece lining; turn down fleece collar, not a hood; front buttons over an inner zip; two hand pockets; drawcord hem; A.R.M.Y. chest print; overall length about 65 to 80 cm; colours khaki, green and dark blue; sizes M to 5XL.

How It Fits Your Routine

On a frosty morning it goes on over a jumper for the commute and the fleece collar does the work a scarf usually would. By midday you can drop the buttons and leave the zip closed for a lighter feel.

On the weekend it handles the dog walk and the trip to the shops, warm without the bulk of a heavy coat.

Follow the care label, close the front before washing, and let it dry flat so the fleece keeps its loft.

FAQ

Is the lining real wool? No. The maker lists the lining as polyester, so it is a soft sherpa fleece pile rather than lambswool, even though one marketing image says otherwise.

Does it have a hood? No. It has a wide turn down fleece collar, not a hood. One maker note says hooded, but every photo shows a collar.

How does it close? Front buttons sit over an inner zip, so you can use both or leave the buttons open over the closed zip.

Is it waterproof? No. The cotton outer is made for cold, dry days, not for heavy rain.
