MEN'S TRACK JACKETS

Men's track jackets with full zips, funnel collars and contrast detailing. A sportswear shape with a long history on British terraces, worn on its own or matched with joggers.

The track jacket moved from sportswear to casual wear through the 1980s, along a route Lyle & Scott followed from the golf course to the terrace.

The details

A full zip, a funnel or ribbed collar, contrast piping down the sleeve or around the placket, and a body cut close enough to wear on its own. Matched with joggers it becomes a full tracksuit.

Fit and colour

The hem should finish at the waistband, since a loose track jacket loses the shape. Sleeves should reach the wrist with the cuff flat. Navy, black and green carry the reference best, usually with a contrast stripe. See bomber jackets and men's hoodies.
