Waffle Knit Mens Zip Up Jacket
Textured Waffle Knit With A Clean Vintage Silhouette
Waffle Knit Mens Zip Up Jacket, built around a waffle-textured cotton blend that gives the whole piece depth without any pattern or branding doing the work. The full zip front, classic fold collar and relaxed cut come straight out of American workwear by way of Japanese Amekaji, and the beige colourway keeps it quiet enough to wear with everything.
It is a layering piece first. Over a heavyweight tee in spring, under a coat in winter, with raw denim, corduroy, cargo trousers and boots the rest of the time.
Key Features
Waffle Knit Texture: a ribbed, gridded surface that catches light and adds depth to a plain colour.
Full Zip Front: easy on and off, and easy to wear open as a shirt jacket.
Classic Fold Collar: sits flat under a coat and holds its shape open.
Relaxed Structured Fit: room to layer without losing the line.
Functional Pockets: usable rather than decorative.
Beige Colourway: a neutral that works against denim, olive, brown and black.
Where It Comes From
Amekaji is the Japanese reading of American casual, and this jacket sits in that tradition: workwear proportions, an honest texture and no branding to speak of. It is meant to be worn until it looks like yours rather than kept for best.

Fit And Sizing
The cut is relaxed and our supplier recommends taking one size up for the intended drape. Model reference: 165cm / 59kg wears S, 173cm / 62.5kg wears M, 175cm / 75kg wears L, 179cm / 80kg wears XL, 180cm / 96kg wears XXL. Measurements are taken by hand and can vary by 1 to 2cm, so check the size chart below before ordering.
What Is A Waffle Knit Jacket?
Waffle knit is a fabric woven or knitted into a raised grid, the same structure you see on thermal underwear, scaled up here into an outer layer. It traps a little air, so it feels warmer than a flat cotton of the same thickness, and the texture gives a plain colour something to look at.
What Is It Made From?
A cotton blend with a waffle-textured knit face. Our supplier does not certify the exact fibre percentages, so we will not quote a figure we cannot stand behind. If you need the precise composition before ordering, message us and we will confirm it with the warehouse.
Is It Warm Enough For Winter?
On its own, no. There is no lining or padding, so treat it as a spring and autumn jacket, or as a mid-layer under a coat in winter. Over a knit it handles a cool British morning comfortably.
Should I Size Up?
Our supplier recommends one size up, and that is the safest choice if you want the relaxed drape it was designed for or plan to layer a jumper underneath. If you prefer a closer fit, your usual size will work. The model reference above is the better guide.
