Lyon Drawstring Hooded Utility Jacket
How to spot the original Lyon
Gold-tone metal snaps close the covered front at the collar, chest and hem, and matching snaps fasten the tabs on both shoulders, so the hardware looks the same all over.
Four pockets: two angled flap pockets with gold snaps above the waist and two deep pockets below the drawstring, which give the jacket its practical utility front.
The hood is lined in a smooth satin-look fabric, the sleeves are raglan, and a drawstring with stoppers at the front pulls the waist into a blouson shape.
The shape
A drawstring hooded utility jacket with a swing
Fitted at the shoulders and flaring to the hem, the swing shape moves beautifully and flatters every figure.
Pull the waist drawstring in for a blouson shape, or leave it loose.
Four flap pockets, the top two fastened with buttons, hold a phone, keys and a travel card and keep them dry. The shape skims the body, so it never clings and always looks relaxed.
The Lyon jacket has a gentle swing at the hem and a drawstring that lets you change its shape in seconds: pull it in for a defined waist, or leave it loose for an easy, relaxed silhouette. It is a modern take on the classic utility jacket, perfect for city weekends, gallery visits, school runs and lunches with friends. The hood adds practical cover when a breeze or a light shower rolls in.
The fit
Boxy and hip length, XS to L
The chest measures 118 cm on the S up to 128 cm on the L, and the length is 63 to 65.5 cm.
Snap buttons, shoulder tabs and buttoned cuffs give it a neat utility look.
Take your usual size; there is room for a knit underneath. The full measurements are in the size guide below, so compare them with a jacket you already own.
The boxy, hip-length cut sits neatly over jeans, wide trousers and midi skirts, and there is room underneath for a fine knit or a shirt. Utility pockets hold your phone, keys and cards, so you can leave the bag at home on quick errands. It moves easily as you walk and cycle, and it never feels stiff or heavy, which makes it a jacket you will reach for again and again.
