As temperatures drop across the UK, one item has emerged as the defining outerwear piece of the season: the country jacket. Originally designed for outdoor pursuits and countryside living, this heritage garment has made its way back into urban fashion.
This autumn, fashion insiders are choosing the country jacket over leather and suede, calling it the perfect blend of practicality and elegance. But how does this trend connect with the modern man’s wardrobe — and especially with the timeless suit?
1. A Heritage Staple Reimagined
The country jacket has deep roots in British style. Traditionally crafted from waxed cotton or tweed, it was made to resist wind, rain, and long days outdoors. Over the years, it became a symbol of country elegance, often associated with hunting estates and aristocratic lifestyles.
Today, designers are reinventing the jacket with slimmer cuts, modern fabrics, and versatile styling — making it equally at home in Mayfair as it is in the Scottish Highlands.
2. Why It’s Trending in Autumn 2025
According to Who What Wear UK, fashion-forward men are swapping their classic leather jackets for country-inspired outerwear this autumn. The reason? It offers timeless sophistication while feeling fresh and modern.
Pair it with chinos for a casual day out, or layer it over a tailored suit for a powerful, stylish look that balances tradition with innovation.
3. Layering the Country Jacket with a Suit
What makes this trend particularly exciting is how well it complements a Haussay suit. Picture this:
-

-
A grey check suit worn under a tweed jacket for a sharp yet rugged contrast.
-
A beige suit paired with a dark olive jacket for an autumn-ready ensemble.
This combination is not only fashionable — it’s practical. It allows you to maintain elegance while staying warm and protected against unpredictable British weather.
