There's a reason corduroy keeps coming back around: it's warm without being bulky, casual without looking sloppy, and it has just enough texture to make a plain outfit look finished. If you've been circling the idea of adding a corduroy jacket to your fall rotation, our new Collins Jacket is the one to start with — mostly because it's actually two jackets in one. A rich navy blue for a more muted look, and bold rosy magenta floral snake pattern for those ready to make a statement!
Meet the Collins Jacket
The Collins is a fully reversible jacket. Flip it one way and you get a mid-wale navy corduroy — soft, substantial, and easy to dress up or down. Flip it the other and you get our Rosy Snakes print on satin-finish cotton, a completely different mood from the same piece.
The details that make it work day to day:
- 98% cotton, 2% elastane shell, 100% cotton lining — corduroy with just enough stretch to move with you
- 14 wale, 330gsm corduroy — a substantial mid-weight wale, not the thin stuff that pills after one season
- Reversible lining in our original Rosy Snakes artist print
- Front pockets on both sides, because a jacket without pockets isn't really doing its job
- Slightly cropped front, longer back hem — a high-low cut that keeps it from looking boxy
- Made fair trade in India by one of our longstanding production partners
Are corduroy jackets in style right now?
Yes — and not in a "wait five years for it to come back around" way. Corduroy is one of the defining fabrics of this fall's outerwear, showing up alongside suede and wool as designers lean into texture over logos or trend-driven silhouettes.
What's different about this corduroy moment is the styling: it's not costume-y '70s throwback. It's being worn like an elevated basic — clean lines, a good cut, and neutral-to-rich colors like our navy, styled simply rather than over-accessorized. A well-made corduroy jacket reads as intentional, not nostalgic.
What season is the Collins Jacket best for?
This is a transitional-weather piece, built for that stretch of fall when it's too cold for just a top but not cold enough for a heavy coat. The corduroy shell has enough weight to cut the wind on a brisk morning, and because it's not insulated, it layers well over sweaters, long-sleeve tops, and dresses without feeling stiff. Think early morning coffee runs, changing leaves, layering season — not deep winter. For that, you'll want it worn over something warmer, not as your only layer.
How to style a corduroy jacket
The best part about the Collins is that it doesn't ask you to build a whole new outfit around it. A few ways we'd wear it:
With jeans and a simple top. This is the no-fail combination — corduroy jacket, straight-leg or wide-leg jeans, and a plain tee or turtleneck underneath. Let the jacket's texture and reversible print do the talking.
Over a jumpsuit. A structured jacket over a jumpsuit solves the "what do I wear when it's chilly but I don't want to layer a bunch of separates" problem. The jacket adds shape and warmth without competing with the jumpsuit's silhouette.
Coordinated with our Rosy Snakes print. Since the Collins reverses to our Rosy Snakes lining, it's an easy match for other Rosy Snakes pieces without looking matchy-matchy — worn open over the Rosy Snakes Camp Dress, the print peeks out at the collar and cuffs and ties the whole look together.
Layered over a sweater and quilted pants. For cooler days, wear the corduroy side out over our Lorraine Quilted Pant in Rouge and the Eleanor Crewneck sweater. The quilted pant's two layers of cotton add warmth from the waist down, the crewneck's hand-embroidered collar peeks out at the neckline, and the corduroy jacket ties the whole outfit together in one cohesive, richly textured fall look.
