Most jackets make you choose between looking sharp and feeling comfortable — this one doesn't. Lightweight faux suede holds a clean line over a shirt without the heat or heft of a heavy jacket, and it's soft from the first wear with no break-in. Light brown does the rest: it warms up black and grey, sits easily with denim, and takes you from a desk to dinner without a change of clothes.

Excellent
The shipping was fast, no delays whatsoever. Jacket fits good, in 5'5 154 lbs for reference. Wish it was a bit more tapered going down the waist, other than that I have no complaints.

The jacket was delivered promptly
The jacket was delivered promptly. It was very well constructed. It was a little tight do I had to exchange it for the next larger size. I am very happy with my purchase.

After a black bomber from Decrum last winter I wanted something lighter for spring and autumn. Most of my coats are dark, so I fancied a softer shade for a change. Ordered this one on a Sunday, arrived Thursday in a tidy box. Straight away it felt different from my bomber: a relaxed shape, a shirt collar instead of a ribbed one, and a lovely brushed finish. The colour is like milky coffee. I've worn it to the garden centre, to the theatre in Bath and for a long lunch with old friends. A keeper.
Gave this to my sister for her new job in Bristol. Her report so far: phone and lanyard inside, gloves in the side pockets, umbrella in the bag. Layers over a roll-neck on chilly mornings, over a blouse when it's milder. Wiped off light rain easily. Packing it for Edinburgh next month. Four because delivery took longer than we'd hoped.
Would faux suede look tired after a few wears? That was the question. Answer, a month in: no. I wear it four days a week over shirts and knitwear, commute on the Underground, and it still looks crisp. The nap stays even if you brush it lightly in one direction after a long day. Colour is a mid tan, warmer indoors. Shirt collar keeps it tidy for client meetings. One off only because the zip was a touch stiff for the first week; it's loosened now. Lightweight, no break-in, easy.
My partner had been borrowing my old canvas jacket for years, so this autumn I decided she deserved her own. She wanted something brown, light, and not fussy. We trawled a few shops in Manchester and nothing felt right, then she found this one online one evening on the sofa. Ordered on a Wednesday, delivered the following Tuesday, folded in tissue. First reaction: the colour is gentler than she expected, a sandy caramel that sits nicely with her red hair. The microsuede has a soft nap she keeps stroking without noticing. Zip cuffs are a nice touch because she likes sleeves snug at the wrist on her bike. She wears it to work at the library, on weekend walks along the canal and to the Thursday pub quiz. Brushes it once a week, takes a minute. I've got my canvas back. Everyone wins.
Where did you get that?' was the first thing my coworker said Monday, and she asked twice more that week. I'd never owned a microsuede jacket before, so I worried it might feel flimsy. Instead it has a velvety texture and a nice weight that drapes. The shade is like toasted almond. No break-in period either, which was a relief. My new fall go-to.
Six weeks on, quick report. Worn nearly daily through a soggy September in Leeds, including one evening the bus simply never came and I walked forty minutes home, which, honestly, never again. The fabric shrugged off the drizzle once it dried and got a quick brush. Colour hasn't faded, the zip still glides and the side pockets haven't sagged from my keys. Easy care is the big win. Only tweak I'd want is a slightly longer zip pull for cold fingers. Also our cat has claimed it as a bed twice, so hang it up somewhere high.
The most-worn thing in my wardrobe this autumn, full stop. Reason one is weight: it's light enough to throw on over a T-shirt for the school run yet keeps the wind off on the walk to the station. Reason two is the colour, a soft fawn that pairs with everything from cream jeans to a black midi skirt, and looks almost golden under café lights at lunchtime. Three, the practical bits: zipped cuffs that seal out draughts, two roomy side pockets and another two tucked inside, one of which takes my e-reader. Four, it needs no fuss; a quick go with a brush and it's fresh again. I wear it to the office on Fridays, round the farmers' market in Stroud on Saturdays, and on damp dog walks when I can't face a parka. Good, honest, everyday piece.
Years ago I had a cheap fringed jacket in a similar shade that shed fibers everywhere and pilled by spring. This one is nothing like it. The microsuede is dense and smooth, there's no pilling after two months, and the zip and cuffs still feel solid. It's a plain, clean Harrington shape with a shirt collar, so it works over my scrubs on the way to the clinic and with jeans on errands. Spot-cleaned a coffee drip with a damp cloth and it vanished.
Mom, who never comments on clothes, said 'that color makes you look rested.' I'll take it. This is my first jacket like this; I'd always worn puffers or denim. The faux suede has a lovely soft hand and drapes rather than puffs, so I feel more put together at work. Two inside pockets are great for a badge and earbuds. I knocked off a point because it attracts pet hair like crazy, and our golden retriever sheds year-round. A lint roller handles it.
Bought for my girlfriend. Her first jacket like this. She was nervous about the fabric. No need. Soft nap. Light weight. Zips at the wrists. Collar folds clean. Color: camel with a hint of rose at sunset. She wore it to a brewery Saturday, a ballgame Sunday. Brushed off a mustard drip, no trace. Ten out of ten from her.
This is my third piece from Decrum and probably the one I reach for most, because unlike my two heavier coats it weighs next to nothing and I can sling it over a jumper on the way out the door without thinking, the shade is a lovely biscuit brown that my daughter calls toffee, the collar flips up nicely on blustery days by the sea in Brighton and those little inner pockets keep my bank card safe.
Opened the mailer on my kitchen counter between two calls and had about four minutes, so this was a fast inspection. Tissue, then a neat fold of light brown. First touch: velvety, almost peachy, with a nap that shifts shade as you run a hand over it. Color in daylight reads like warm sand; under my pendant lamp it goes more honey. Zip ran clean on the first try, cuffs zipped open and shut without catching. That evening I wore it straight out to a client dinner in Midtown over a cream silk blouse and wide trousers. It held its shape through a cab ride and a long table, and two people asked where it came from. Walked twelve blocks home in a cool breeze and was comfortable the whole way. Nothing to break in, just put on and go. Already planning to bring it on next week's Chicago trip.
Can a man pick a jacket his girlfriend will actually like? That was my worry. I'd noticed her eyeing tan outerwear in shop windows, so I took a gamble on this. Verdict: she wore it out of the house the morning after her birthday and has barely taken it off since. She says it feels light and soft, and she's thrilled that it needed no breaking in. The zip cuffs and shirt collar make it look neat rather than slouchy. She keeps her headphones in one of the inside pockets. Gamble paid off.
if your on the fence about the light brown vs something darker, get the light one. seriously. it goes with denim, white, black, olive, whatever, and it looks way more expensive than it is. tip number two: buy a cheap brush the same day bc the nap shows marks when you lean on a desk or swipe it wrong, takes 10 sec to fix tho. i wear it to work over a turtleneck and weekends with leggings. only reason for 4 not 5 is the package showed up kinda crumpled, jacket inside was fine. LOVE the zip cuffs
Second Decrum purchase for me, after a cropped black number, and this is the softer, more relaxed sibling. Collar first: proper shirt style, lies flat or turns up against drizzle. The front zip runs smoothly from hem to neck. Cuffs zip too, handy over a watch. Inside there's a pair of slim pockets for cards, plus two at the hips. Feels about as light as a cardigan.
Marks show if you brush the fabric the wrong way, so expect lighter and darker streaks until you smooth it back with your palm. Small thing, but worth knowing. I spotted this in a Facebook ad and assumed it would look cheap in person. It doesn't. The color is a warm camel, the collar sits neatly, and two inside pockets hold my phone and lipstick. Wearing it over a striped tee most days now.
Lint. That is my single complaint, and it's why I've gone four rather than five. Every scrap of fluff from my mohair jumper clings to the nap, so a roller now lives by the front door. Everything else is lovely. It's the first jacket of this kind I've ever owned and I expected it to feel stiff or plasticky, but there was no break-in at all; it came out of the bag already relaxed. The light brown sits somewhere between biscuit and milky tea, which suits my colouring far better than black ever did. Zipped cuffs mean I can push the sleeves up when I'm washing my hands at work. Honestly, smitten.
Her old jacket, which she'd had since before we married, was a navy nylon thing with a hood that never stayed up and a popper that gave up years ago. I won't miss it. This replacement is a completely different feel. Where the nylon rustled, this is quiet and soft, a brushed fabric in a mellow fawn that actually looks smart with her work trousers. She wears it to the surgery where she's a receptionist and on our Sunday walks round the reservoir. Speaking of which, the reservoir was half empty this summer, first time I've seen the old stone wall at the bottom. Anyway. The zipped cuffs keep the wind out, and she's finally got inside pockets, which means fewer things handed to me to carry. She gives it a once-over with an old clothes brush on Sundays and it looks new. Easily the best thing she's had in ages.
Zip pulls a little to one side but nothing that bothers me day to day. The collar sits nicely when buttoned up and the colour goes with basically everything in my closet, I've already planned three outfits around it.
An Instagram reel got me curious, and I half expected the real thing to disappoint. Its first proper test was my cousin's backyard engagement party in Savannah. Late afternoon, humid, then cooler once the sun dropped. I wore it over a slip dress with white sneakers. It looked polished in photos, the tawny color glowing in that golden-hour light, and it never felt heavy. Kept my phone and a lip gloss in the inside pockets so I didn't need a purse. Someone spilled a little sweet tea on my sleeve; blotted it, brushed it next morning, gone.
Ordered this for my daughter's birthday and she wore it out that same evening to dinner with friends. The light brown shade photographs even nicer in real life than it shows on screen, a very warm tone that works with almost everything she owns.
Love the colour and the collar sits really nicely against the neck, feels a lot more considered than most jackets in this price range. Wore it on a coffee run this morning and it kept me plenty warm.
Such a chic jacket, the shirt style collar gives it a really polished look and it's warm enough for the evenings already now the weather is turning. Wore it to a friend's book club last week and got a lot of compliments.
This is my second piece from Decrum this year and it won't be the last. The inside pockets are actually usable unlike a lot of jackets where they're just decorative, I keep my keys and lip balm in there without any bulge showing.
