Tan sits in a strange and useful place in a wardrobe. It reads as neutral without being forgettable, it works with navy and grey and olive in ways that a black jacket simply does not, and it carries enough warmth to feel considered rather than safe. A well chosen tan jacket is one of those pieces you reach for without thinking, which is either a sign you bought well or a sign you should buy more of them. We keep coming back to this color because it solves a specific problem: what to wear when you want something that reads smart but not formal, relaxed but not sloppy. The jacket is doing a lot of work in that space. We have been looking at everything from structured cotton blazers to softer unstructured options in suede and leather. Different weights, different occasions, the same reliable payoff. These are the tan jackets we would spend our own money on and several of us already have.
