Looking for a boxy, cropped cotton jacket under £150 new or used
Hey all,
I'm on the hunt for a boxy, cropped jacket, made of some kind of heavyweight cotton. Suitable for layering in cool/chilly weather in a temperate place like the UK.
Found a beautiful example of what I'm after by Mister Freedom on the Standard & Strange website: https://standardandstrange.com/products/rocketeer-jacket-brown-pique#mz-expanded-view-299877319356 Colour and detail are less important - the crucial bits are that it's cropped, has a collar, and isn't denim. Would anyone know of something similar, either new or used, that I can pick up for slightly cheaper? Thanks in advance!

&SONS Ryder Hardwear Canvas Jacket (Small)
The RYDER Ranch jacket is a combination of style and durability, made from a hardwearing, heavyweight, raw canvas that will age and fade the more you wear it.
As the fabric begins to crease and crack, you will see noticeable honeycombs and fades, creating a unique, one-off look.

Thanks both - I suspect the le laboreur is a bit chore-y for what I'm looking for, in terms of length of the body (not cropped enough). Will have a look at the vinted one in more detail
I actually find it quite difficult to find the right kind of cropped that isn't too short for men's jackets!
I really like the Dickies Eisenhower Jacket, but the men’s one is just a bit too long (as in it’s a regular jacket’s length) and the women‘s cropped version is just too short

women’s jackets will tend to be more cropped, can look there
Carhartt Detroit? Abercrombie does a knock off they call something like "cropped workwear jacket" that might be worth a look too
Great shout with the Eisnenhower, like you say, if the length was slightly different it would be perfect
Thanks!! These are gorgeous
