I’m seriously in love with this jacket.
This is my second Derby jacket from Derby of San Francisco.
Last winter, I bought the Black/Gold colorway in 2XL, and I absolutely loved it.
I went with 2XL because I wanted enough room to layer a hoodie or sweatshirt underneath on really cold days.
This time, I wanted something I could throw over a T-shirt when the weather is just a little chilly, so I went with the Black/Red colorway in XL.
As soon as it arrived, I put it on—and honestly, it’s awesome.
The fit is exactly what I was looking for.
I think this jacket looks great with pretty much anything.
Black chinos, denim, military cargo pants, baker pants—you really can’t go wrong.
It has that classic, simple look that works with so many different outfits.
Here in Japan, we’re heading into the cooler season, and I honestly can’t wait for the weather to get chilly enough for me to wear this jacket every day.
For reference, I’m 185 cm (6’1”) and 85 kg (187 lbs), with a fairly slim build.
For my height and build, XL fits me perfectly.
If you’re looking to layer a hoodie or sweatshirt underneath for colder weather, I’d recommend going up to 2XL.
If you’ve never tried a Derby jacket before, I highly recommend giving one a shot.
I hope my review helps anyone who’s thinking about getting one!
