Gray often seems a little sad.

Imagine a warm, medium gray on which mauve, plum, and golden dried flowers appear to have been placed one by one. Stop imagining: this jacket gives gray something to talk about.

• Herbarium flowers
  Anemones, pansies, small golden stems: the pattern is reminiscent of flowers pressed between the pages of a book. It is delicate, never overdone.
• An inhabited gray
  The gray background enhances the mauves and plums without hardening them. It's an old photograph gray, not a concrete gray.
• The most versatile color
  It goes with black, navy, white, and all denim. No risk of a bad combination, ever.
• Mid-season warmth
  The thin quilting is enough for cool mornings and can be worn indoors without being excessive. You'll rarely take it off.
• High collar, golden buttons
  The collar closes to cut the wind, the golden buttons provide the jacket's only warm reflection. A finish that tells a story.

Gray is only sad when it's alone. Inhabited by dried flowers, it becomes the color that's worn most often — the one that returns to your shoulders every week.
