It is the sort of jacket that belongs on a fence post, a porch and a city street in equal measure.

Ranch Heritage, Warm Colours

A rancher jacket has a few signs you can spot from across the road. A western yoke across the upper back and chest, a sturdy collar and a roomy, practical body all point back to cattle country.

Inside, the lining is a blanket and shearling mix, warm and cushioned across the body. The collar has a corduroy look, which breaks up the suede with a ribbed texture and recalls old workwear. Together the materials give the jacket a clear vintage identity, with three different textures meeting in one piece: napped suede, soft lining and ribbed collar. The jacket is inspired by classic western styling, and its worn charm is part of the appeal.

Country Style, City Wear and Suede Care

Dark indigo jeans, a plaid flannel and brown boots are the obvious partners. The cut leaves room for layering. Suede is easy to love and slightly fussy to keep. Use a suede protector before you wear it, brush the surface regularly with a suede brush and avoid heavy rain.
