"Max Mara" 2018-2023 Contemporary cotton field jacket

Since its founding in 1951, Max Mara has continued to propose wardrobes that combine elegant refinement with practicality, embedding the aesthetic of tailoring cultivated as a coat maison into everyday life, and here we introduce a piece that embodies a sophisticated urban uniform.

The intelligent camel tone gently softens the ruggedness, and the meticulous stitching carefully depicts the three-dimensional form, making this piece a finished modern field jacket.

What first catches the eye is that instead of exaggerating the military-inspired design, the stand collar that can be smoothly raised and the epaulet subtly placed on the shoulder sharpen the contours around the face and upper body, resulting in a refined appearance rather than a workwear impression, which is beautiful.

The front features a double structure with buttons and an inner zipper, ensuring windproofing while keeping the placket flat, which helps maintain the silhouette when closed and reflects the discipline unique to coat brands. The puller uses a solid rectangular silver metal piece, which does not draw unnecessary attention but adds a reliable texture that tightens the overall look.

The storage features four flap pockets inspired by the M-65, creating visual rhythm while maintaining high practicality. Additionally, with a drawstring passing through the waist, the impression can be changed by tightening or loosening, which is a unique charm of this piece. When worn loosely, it creates a quiet impact, and when lightly cinched, the waist appears higher, making it easy to balance with pants or skirts.

The material is 100% cotton, offering both smoothness and firmness, and while maintaining a military context, it has an elegant touch on the skin and appearance, which is a typical Max Mara approach, making it highly practical for frequent everyday use.

Regarding the era, a range from 2018 to around 2023 is appropriate, and the presence of a two-tiered collar label with "DESIGN FOR EASY LIVING" and a multilingual booklet-style care label including Chinese size notation indicates a recent specification assuming global distribution. Furthermore, with clear production information such as the digital management code Modello 902101116 and "MADE IN ROMANIA" label, the authenticity as a current standard piece is assured.

This piece is especially recommended for days when you want to tidy up your casual look, occasions where you want to add sophistication with a cover-up instead of a jacket, and for those who love the practicality of functional clothing but do not want to relinquish the discipline of luxury.

In terms of styling, pairing minimal knitwear with slacks to highlight the beauty of the surface creates an urban and genderless mood that naturally emerges, and layering a shirt with a long skirt to create vertical lines transforms the military-inspired structure into an elegant tone, making it highly compatible. Choosing leather shoes or neat boots for the feet naturally maintains Max Mara's elegance even in everyday settings.
