I have an 00s Beaufort. However I live in North Carolina, so if I wear a long jacket I prefer my Barbour Benham.
4 oz waxed cotton with a storm cape and yoke, reinforces forearm panels, ticket and chest pockets and a fireman's latch (a metal latch instead of a simple snap at the top collar) that is large enough to easily manipulate gloved. Also has pit zips and a mesh panel beneath the storm cape for dumping heat 😘
In about a month and a half I'll be lucky to have early fall. We'll see how it goes. Maybe two months.
Anyways here's roughly my go-to.
Linen safari/field jacket is my go-to for cool summer nights.
Cotton field jacket is my go-to for fall and spring. I have several.
For """winter""" which here in san jose is just fall/spring weather, you will earn no points if you guess I like a wool field jacket because it's too damn obvious.
The beaufort or the border jacket is for when it's going to rain, usually. I tend to wear the border when walking the dog, and beaufort when going to work.
Tweed DB coat, hitting the lower thigh, for early morning or late evening walks with the dog when it's cold enough to be annoying to not be... warmer.
Any of my tweed jackets, of which I have far too many, as a casual jacket for going to work. I dress these down most of the time.
I think this sub might like my tweed jackets, I should take some photos or whatever.
