The barn jacket is one of very few garments that has never been redesigned, because there has never been a reason to. Straight body, four pockets, button front, collar in a contrasting cloth - the shape has done its job unchanged for about a century.
This one keeps all of that and only adjusts the fit, cutting the body relaxed enough to go over a knit without pulling anywhere. The collar is a corduroy in a much deeper tone than the canvas body, two large flap pockets sit at the hip with two welt pockets above them, and the length stops at the top of the thigh.
It is the least fashionable thing here and it will outlast everything else in the wardrobe.
