The Cravenleigh Jacket is perfect for lounging by the fire with a good book. With deep patch pockets the finishing details make this jacket elegant enough to wear on a night out. Think old-fashioned smoking jacket. The stripes provide both color and texture variation. Use a neutral and a bright color, two neutrals, or two bright colors…the possibilities are endless!
