When I was researching this jacket, I found the ‘revived 1983’ Barn Jacket was recently available through J.Crew. Well this is the original! I also learned the style was unisex so while I believe this to be a men’s version, the women’s version is near identical. The rich history of barn jackets is steeped in Americana. In 1924, L.L. Bean, the wellspring of so many quintessential American clothes, introduced its “field coat,” a cotton layer that hung to mid-thigh. Its key attributes remain its corduroy collar and four hip pockets—with two sitting one atop the other in a staggered fashion like steps. This is the very style of this J. Crew version. Originally the jacket was worn by hunters. Later it was adopted for farm chores and general outdoors. Recently it has been trending with the preppy business types. This version is a spring weight cotton. This is an incredibly popular jacket. My research on line indicates this jacket is favoured by both men, women, outdoor folks as well as city dwellers.
