The Race Club Essentials Quilted Jacket

Cold mornings were the honest part. Long before the crowds, before anyone had an opinion about anything, there were people standing at a fence with coffee going cold, watching a car come around the same corner for the fortieth time and learning something from it each lap.

The jacket belonged to that hour. Warm enough to stand still in, quiet enough that nobody asked what it meant. It was never the point — it was what you wore while the point was happening somewhere down the track.

Townsend Green, Black. Diamond quilted, full zip, relaxed through the body, hitting at the hip. Wash cool, hang to dry, skip the iron.
