Why the Railway Jacket Works
At its core, the Railway Jacket is a utilitarian linen jacket inspired by traditional workwear. The shape is simple and functional, with room to layer and enough structure to hold its form. It’s designed to be worn daily, as a spring jacket, a travel layer, or just something to tie an outfit together.
Unlike lighter linen jackets that might feel fragile or overly seasonal, our Railways are made from properly heavy linens. They have substance, durability, reassuring weight and a structural integrity that softens over time. The result is a jacket that creases softly but hangs itself out, fades gently and becomes uniquely yours.
If you’re looking for a chore jacket that bridges the gap between everyday and office wear, this is a great place to start.
Three Proven Colours for SS26
French Blue Railway Jacket
Our most popular piece ever. The Heavy Linen Railway Jacket in French Blue is versatile, easy to style, and designed to be worn daily - whether over a tee in spring or layered through cooler months.
Khaki Railway Jacket
The Medium Weight Railway Jacket in Khaki is understated and endlessly wearable. It pairs effortlessly with denim, fatigue trousers, or tailored trousers, making it one of the most adaptable spring jackets in the collection.
Cinnamon Railway Jacket
For something with a warmer tone, the Midweight Linen Railway Jacket in Cinnamon adds depth without shouting. The terracotta-esque huw softens beautifully with wear, making it a favourite for those who want a linen jacket that develops real character over time..
Linen, But Not as You Know It
Linen is often associated with lightweight summer pieces, but heavy linen behaves differently. It’s breathable yet robust, structured yet comfortable. This makes the Railway Jacket ideal as a spring jacket - substantial enough for unpredictable weather, but light enough to wear all day. Over time, the fabric relaxes, the colour fades subtly, and the jacket begins to reflect how you wear it. Many customers are still wearing their original Railway Jackets from years ago, and they only look better for it.
A Modern Chore Jacket, Proven Over Time
The Railway Jacket isn’t a seasonal piece. It’s been our best seller season after season because it’s proven itself on real people, in real life. Worn by original buyers for over eight years and shaped by everyday use, it’s a garment that earns its place in your wardrobe. If you’re new to Original Fibres, this is where most people start. And if you’ve owned one before, you’ll know exactly why they’re back.
