After showing up on a few of the spring 2013 runways, the baseball jacket was seen on almost every menswear catwalk for fall 2013. For fall the jacket is infused with a distinctly luxe twist with plush fabrics like buttery suede or merino wool and a slimmer cut. Our favorite? Dries Van Noten’s olive green wool windowpane checked jacket with brown leather insets. 3.1 Phillip Lim unveiled a cool version of the baseball-style jacket. Sleek black leather is bonded seamlessly with coated cable-knit paneling, making it one of the most coveted items to treasure for years to come. At Dior Homme, Kris Van Assche showed a much more traditional and easy-to-wear version. A slim-cut, black and grey baseball-style jacket with a zipper running down the front and worn with black wool skinny trousers. Whether, you go for the classic ribbed style jacket or a new modern interpretation, you’ll want one of these to throw over everything.
