Italian Corduroy Dylan Jacket in Navy

TL;DR

At its current sale price, it is, dollar for dollar, one of the best men's jackets on the market.

About

Over the years, I’ve accumulated a decent collection of light, casual jackets for day-to-day wear. Annoyingly, many of these jackets either felt cheap, didn’t fit well, or were a combination of both. Naturally, I was in the market for a higher-quality jacket at a price point that didn’t break the bank. The Dylan line from Todd Snyder is usually outside of my budget, but when I saw that the lower priced corduroy jackets were on sale, I knew I had to give them a try.

Pros

* Color is gorgeous. While it is just “navy,” this hue really stands out and pops when the light hits it right. If you’re afraid of buying yet another blue jacket, don’t be.

* Material feels great and is really soft. TS is using 2% elastane in this, providing some flexibility that similar jackets don’t have. And of course, because it’s mostly cotton, the jacket doesn’t need to be dry cleaned and can be thrown in the washing machine.

* Jacket is very comfortable. The 2% elastane provides a “lived in” feel with the jacket. There’s no need to throw this in the wash or wear it for a few weeks to break it in. It’s so easy to just thrown on and wear whenever I’m going out and meeting friends or heading into the office.

* For me, fit is basically perfect and true to the size guide. Armholes aren’t too high and while the description says a slim fit, it’s a tad more generous. Definitely not a relaxed fit,…
