Christian Kimber Fitzroy Chore Jacket, Midnight

Four pockets on the front is not styling. It is the reason the shape exists and it is why a chore jacket works when you are actually doing something.

The Fitzroy runs two at the chest and two at the hip, all patched flat rather than set in, on Italian cotton with enough stretch to let a shoulder work. Collar instead of a lapel, unlined, so it goes over a knit without building bulk.

Midnight is nearly black in a room and clearly blue outside. It is the version to buy if you want the jacket to disappear into the rest of your wardrobe rather than announce itself.
