The looming prospect of continued April showers has me looking for a nice, somewhat lightweight, and (most importantly) water-resistant jacket. The Hoffman jacket from Portland, OR label Bridge & Burn is kinda searing itself into my mind lately, as it’s pretty much spot-on for what I’m seeking.
Made of British Millerain waxed cotton, it’ll keep you dry in soggy conditions while maintaining a distinctly non-tech-gear vibe (I always feel strange in those hyper-futuristic space fabric raincoats). Features four patch pockets on the front with hidden button closures, as well as side entry handwarmer pockets (under the lower patch pockets).
It’s also got a hood (always handy) and a two way front zip. My favorite details, though? The blue gingham lining and the red contrast stitching around the buttonholes on the cuff. Fun, but appropriately understated.
Some more shots:
The Hoffman is available online at Bridge & Burn’s online shop ($235), or from Portland boutique Frances May ($220).
