Commentary
A take on the bomber, straight-cut, with a proper collar and clean button detail that echoes the single breasted button down jacket: which has outlasted every fashion cycle by being entirely indifferent to them. Made in wind and waterproof cashmere for the full weight of a New York winter. The New Yorker takes the weather on its own terms.
