A wool jacket for the stretch of fall when a waxed jacket is too much and a knit is not enough. The Tracker is Barbour's take on the country check jacket, cut in 100% wool in a brown check, close enough to wear over a shirt and roomy enough to take a lambswool crew underneath.
The check is brown on brown with a quiet lift, so from across a room it reads as a texture rather than a pattern. Corduroy collar, zip front with studs over the top, and two lower welt pockets deep enough for a phone and keys. The body is fully lined in polyester, which is what keeps a wool jacket from dragging on a knit sleeve.
Ours goes over denim and a crewneck from late September, and under a topcoat once the temperature drops past freezing. Dry clean only, so treat it as a jacket rather than a shirt.
