The Cider House Jacket will take you from the office to the orchard. Its princess lines elongate your form while the peplum narrows your waist and skims over the hips. Since it’s unlined, it’s perfect for layering in cooler weather and light enough to wear spring and summer. Three sleeve lengths (elbow, 3/4 and long) allow you to customize to your favorite style.



We have included instructions for finishing the seams with the Hong Kong Seam Finish, so you can be proud to sling your Cider House Jacket over the back of a chair or hang it on the office coat rack to show off your lovely work. You might just be tempted to wear it inside out.
