Aveline | Timeless Quilted Jacket with a Vintage Floral Print

The print has the look of an old painted panel — faded roses and leaves arranged the way they were a century ago. It gives the jacket a considered air, the sort of thing people ask you about at a gathering. The quilting behind it is entirely practical, keeping the chill at a polite distance from the first cool week of the season onward.

Why You'll Love It

✓ A Pattern with History in It — the antique floral artwork looks thoughtful rather than fashionable, and will not date next spring.

✓ Smart Enough for Company — tidy quilting and clean lines mean it sits comfortably at lunch or an afternoon concert.

✓ Warmth Without Weight — you feel the padding working without feeling it on your shoulders.

✓ Layers Without Bulk — a fine jumper slides underneath and the shape still looks neat from the outside.

✓ Movement Where You Need It — an easy armhole lets you reach across a table or into the back seat without the jacket riding up.

Some clothes settle into a life rather than passing through it. This one will be worn to plenty of ordinary afternoons and a few memorable ones.

Fit: Neat regular fit through the shoulder with an easy, unrestricted body.

Ideal for: Family lunches, afternoon outings and smart-casual autumn layering.
