When and how to wear a Husky jacket?
It perfectly fits into the urban smart-casual style, despite the fact that its history originates from the English countryside. Men's quilted husky jacket is a synonym of good style, to this extend that the world salons say that it is better to wear a classic husky jacket than a poorly tailored suit.
This British classic came out in the '70s from an American – Sir Stephen Guylas, who settled down in Suffolk county with a desire to live near nature and indulge in passions – fishing, hunting and horse-riding. He was a retired colonel whose job was designing military clothes. On the basis of a waistcoat, which was his prototype, he created a quilted jacket which had two important fucntions – it provided thermal comfort and ease of use. The name 'husky jacket' was taken from the colonel's dog's breed. Quilted nylon jackets immediately became English monarchs' favoured and in the '80s sport and business celebrities made them even more popular.
The lightweight husky jacket, which is by the way a synonym of hunting clothing, has made its way with a blow into casual fashion and now it is an indispensable element of metropolitan style. At the beginning, thanks to their functionality, there were two standard models in green and navy blue, but nowadys we can get them in a variety of colours blending in urban environment. In the most universal version husky jacket has characteristic diagonal piques, simple cut, side cuts, it is fastened with press studs and finished with flapless pockets. The modern version has numerous modifications.
The classic men's quilted husky jacket is perfect for transitional periods – when a trench coat seems to be too thin and a winter coat too warm. It protects from wind and cold perfectly. You can wear it at work on a less formal suit, as well as on a tweed or sports jacket for a metting in town. It looks great if you combine it with a shirt and a jumper. Such styling can be mixed with popular jeans and fashionable chinos. In autumn, we suggest creating an outfit with corduroys.
The husky jacket works absolutely great in travels. When you take it out from the suitcase, it does not require ironing thanks to the compressed polyester and special diagonal sewings, which provide a three-dimensional effect. Besides having a stylish look, functionality is its biggest advantage.
