This jacket is designed for the crisp morning air, changing colours, and autumn leaves crunching underfoot. The warm but lightweight fabric makes for the perfect outer layer for cooler temperatures and outdoor activities. The oversized jacket, knit from the top down, features raglan increases, textured cuffs and bands, and a hood to keep little heads toasty warm.
