The Khaki Kovak Quilted Jacket from Far Afield is a lightweight quilted jacket informed by military liners and made for changing weather. Its smooth polyester shell is stitched in broad five-inch squares around a slim layer of synthetic insulation, spreading warmth evenly across the body without the bulk of a padded or puffer jacket.

It's built for the in-between months: crisp autumn mornings, mild winter days and cool spring evenings, when a heavy coat is too much but a shirt or knit alone isn't enough. In the depths of winter it works just as well as a warm mid-layer under an overcoat or parka. It is designed as a lightweight insulating layer rather than a technical waterproof, so on properly wet days wear it under a weatherproof shell.

The straight cut leaves room for a light layer underneath, such as a T-shirt, shirt or fine-gauge knit, while staying neat and flat beneath a heavier coat. A soft collar sits comfortably at the neck, and the YKK metal snap front makes it quick to open and close.

The details give it the finish of proper everyday outerwear. A snap-fastened flap chest pocket keeps small essentials secure, and two angled welt hand pockets sit at a natural angle for your hands. Inside, it's fully lined: cotton through the body for a breathable, comfortable feel against a shirt or tee, and smooth viscose through the sleeves so it slides on easily over knitwear. Far Afield's signature orange touches finish it off, with an orange cotton locker loop at the back neck and an orange bar-tack at the side seam.

Khaki is the classic military-liner colour and one of the easiest neutrals to wear. It pairs with blue denim, navy, grey and ecru, sits naturally over a white or grey tee, a chunky knit or an Oxford shirt, and works with chinos, cords or jeans and either boots or trainers.

Far Afield is a British-designed menswear label and a real champion of ethical, small-scale production, always putting the planet before profit. The Kovak is designed in the UK and made in India.
