While Monitaly’s lookbooks can be hit or miss, we’re still fans of their products. Take  this field jacket for instance. It’s unlined and hooded, so perfect for spring showers and you can easily take it into winter if you thermal up enough. The plaid pattern is nice too – we only advise wearing plaid jackets over floral print shirts these days – spread pattern love, it’s the Brooklyn way. (Coggles)

If you’re on the lookout for a good hooded jacket, consider this for your collection. It’s from Monitaly, so it’s not cheap, but consider it investment. Especially when it’s essentially the price of two so-so coats. We’re sure you know the argument by now, but it rings true. Buy less, but buy better. (CHCM)

Functional features are the key to Beretta’s Waxwear Field Jacket. Ambidextrous recoil patches, upper hand hook pockets, and reinforcements to the sleeves all work to allow the best possible garment performance. Construction, as well, is all about arm movement.

Available at fine gun shops like the Grouse Perch in Old Saybrook, CT.

A fresh take on the field jacket from Oliver Spencer. Made in the UK, the field jacket is finished in a theobald dark grey color and is made from 100% cotton. Careful with the shrink. Stick with the dry cleaning. The button closures are about as good as it gets against the grey tone of the piece. A nice slim fit gives it a look proper for all the homeys in the trad land.
