The quilted barn jacket — a flat diamond quilt, a corduroy collar, snap or zip front — is the countryside coat that looks just as right in the city. Here are 10 worth buying, each linked to a well-reviewed pick.
My top pick: A hip-length diamond-quilted jacket in olive or navy, with a corduroy collar, a snap placket over the zip, and big patch pockets, is the one to own — it’s a light layer for autumn, it goes over a knit, and it looks better the more it’s worn.
