LIGHTWEIGHT JACKETS

We've rounded up the best lightweight jackets on the market to conquer the seasonal switch; everything from utilitarian overshirts, to staple chore jackets, GORE-TEX layers for when the going gets wet, and more. We've got you covered.

LINER

A real favourite style at GH HQ. Minimalist utilitarian silhouette, boxy fits, dope colours. What's not to love? Initially designed as an extra layer to M-65 field jackets for warmth and insulation, perhaps the coolest military outerwear you can own this season isn't outwear at all...

JUNYA WATANABE MAN Print Mix Liner Jacket

Comprising all the makings of an iconic Junya Watanabe piece, the Mix Liner features a stitched-on Fair Isle Knit across the body and sleeves of a diamond quilted military-inspired liner. Finished with webbed edges, armpit vents and oversized buttons, this is master craftsmanship at its finest.
