You look for one jacket for the day and another for the evening — and you only really wear one!

Imagine a single piece that goes with Saturday morning at the market and dinner in the evening without changing register. Stop imagining: the fineness of the Amélie's pattern allows both.

• A small-scale pattern
  Little roses and ivory flowers are drawn close together on an almond-green background. Up close, you can read each flower; from two metres away, the whole reads as a textured colour.
• The tapestry effect
  The look recalls an antique woven fabric, which gives the jacket a perceived value far above the simplicity of its shape. That contrast is what does it.
• Soft and warm
  The quilting is fine and the fabric drapes without stiffness. The jacket folds, rests over an arm, and comes back on without stubborn creases.
• Collar open or closed
  The stand collar buttons up to keep out the wind or opens into a soft lapel. Two looks for one jacket.
• Pockets and piping
  Two low pockets, dark piping on every edge: the finishing is that of a well-made piece, not a spare jacket.

A wardrobe isn't lightened by buying less, but by choosing pieces that do two jobs. This one does two — and that's why it comes back onto your shoulders far more often than the others.
