I like the informal jacket thrown on top of traditional clothes look. It is a look that goes quite far back, for instance in the post WW2 period when one might wear something like a duffle coat over a suit. The idea is you have one layer that is dapper and another that is just functional and keeps out the elements (albeit still classic). I think it is a good aesthetic.

Just bought an Ashby from Barbour, reminds me of the beasting jacket we wore as Royal Marine nods! I love it !

Good morning Chris. The M 65 was really popular in the 1960s and 1970s. I used to wear safari jackets in the late 79s and early 80s. Roger Moore wore one in Moonraker in 1979. They do look good with a tie. Your tweed jacket looks like a Teba jacket. I have worn my Barbours with a tie especially while shooting. Good video lots of great ideas. I really like the tweed chore jacket by Peter Christian. Cheers Ron

Excellent content, Chris; great on detail and spot-on with the visuals throughout. Lots of ideas here, particularly with the variation of colours and fabrics.

The four pocket design works very well IMO. It’s casual enough for a polo or button down. It creates a good symmetry to balance things out. I have a Barbour Ogston that have this 4 pocket design which I wear for cooler fall & winters with a t shirt for last minute errands or with a flannel for casual events. Hope I can send this for a rewax soon so I can request from Barbour if I can replace the polyester sleeves for cotton so I can sweat less.

You look very good and fit lately sir. I love the jacket here.

Thank you for this informative video, I like several of the styles you showed. Currently, I own 3 field type jackets, and I wear them for outer wear only. One is a lighter wool, the other two are cotton canvas in an American barn style with a corduroy collar.

Would barn coats work be in this category, too? For me, they take the place of the chore coat? I have found that most chore coats are a bit too snug for me, where as a barn coat is more functional.

Love the vest idea under. Its the perfect go around town and look better than 99% of men look lol.. If you are in something nice. and everyone else is in sports wear... You just won...

What’s the make/model of the black shooting jacket @ 9.51? Thanks

An interesting video with some good points and advice, thank you. I consider the wearing of military clothes in an urban environment inappropriate if not ridiculous or disrespectful. I remember a comment from a former soldier about "those fools who think that military garments are a kind of fashion accessory that looks "cool". I feel the same. The only case where I find acceptable the use of military clothes is in a rural environment when camping or hiking in cold and/or wet conditions. "To each its own".

last year i got a army officer winter dress uniform jacket, is olive green wool and i have change the buttons, is quite warm and look good, and i pay only 10euro for it :)

[Traxlar]

does anyone have good recommendations for good locations to buy tweed and wool field jackets and safari jackets?

[charliecreekmore]

First one in we had olive drab M65 Field Jackets then late 70s early 80s we had Woodland camouflage M65 Field Jackets used to be able to put a lot of beer in the Pockets of the M65 Field Jackets LOL

[PhilippKlinkhardt]

hi Chris, Very interesting video! What are your views on Harrington jackets, waxed cotton jackets or leather jackets?
Regards

I wear M65 jackets for like ~25 years. Love the 4 pockets style. Also so called "Safari" Jackets into similar style, 4 pockets. It's the only thing, which is time-less, seriously. Have 2 G.I. issue M65s, and modern reproductions. Good enough. Woodland camouflage is a bit too offensive, into daily, ordinary life. So i prefer olive green, or -black, preferred. Have one jacket which looks similar (M65 style, field jacket style) from color like your last field jacket here - but i'll recolor it it olive green, at least next january...

[CanadaFree-cejn]

I'd say Field Jackets are safer look than Safari Jackets. I have real field jackets: Canadian, British, and used to own the M-65. I consider my Barbour and my UniQlo variant to be more English countryside look, OD yes but without looking overly military. i tend to group field coats into the four covered chest pockets while a chore jacket has three uncovered (no flap) outside pockets. Field jackets, military ones, also tends to have the ability to attach a liner, and often have a stash away hood.
Besides what most think of as physical work, the classic French Chore jacket was also the jacket of poets and artists (oil paints, etc.). You could toss bakers in there and some shop keepers in the past.

Good evening! Chris. I'm from the US, and I enjoyed your video pertaining to field jackets. I love your dress wear as well, awesome mustache, by the way.
I want to let you know that I'm a Christian here in America and my prayers are that you and your family also as well as your viewers, and subscribers will make it into heaven! By accepting JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR! FOR THE BEST. BEST CLOTHING WE CAN HAVE IS A WHITE ROBE WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH, ONCE WE ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS OUR LORD! AND SAVIOR! AND WE TURN AWAY FROM OUR SINS! THAT WHITE ROBE THAT HAS BEEN WASHED THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS! IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT GARMENT WE CAN EVER WEAR IN THE SIGHT OF GOD!Revelation 7:9-10 NKJV
[9] After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, [10] and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 🙏❤️✝️🙏

I've very much fallen in love with wearing my... Well, it's not a field jacket. It's a sample Belstaff Trophy Master in granite colored leather that never seems to have made it to full production, with a good tweed waist coat, dress shirt and wool/tartan tie, finished with a pair of good ol' fahioned selvedge jeans and RW iron rangers. And I'm very lucky to own a very nice concept sample Sasta jacket in Sarka wool that is a nice mixture of hunt and field jackets. Never understood why it never got taken into production but I guess it's left me with a couple of very nice and rare jackets! 😅

Long live eBay and networking.
