    It’s Fall. Do You Know Where Your Barn Jacket Is? (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    I demand practicality, utility, and clean lines from all my clothing, especially my outerwear. All of my coats and jackets seem to have the same military or functional origins—the trench, the M-65, the Barbour, and so on. This affinity is probably due to my upbringing as an Army brat, but it could also be because I’ve always just worn my clothes, and I prefer things to be well-worn instead of bright-and-shining new.There is no better time of year to demonstrate that than the fall.
