Ash Cord Jacket, Sage Green

The Ash is a cord jacket with a secret. The boxy silhouette, the gentle collar, the button-through front, the generous patch pockets — all of it is exactly right for a relaxed, practical autumn layer. But turn back the lapel and there it is: a floral cotton lining that's a perfect match for the Rachel Organic Cotton Frill Blouse in Antique Pink. Wear them together and the lining peeking from the cuff and collar isn't an accident — it's a pairing made for the season.

The cord itself is soft and chunky without being heavy — the kind of texture that photographs beautifully and feels even better in person. The Sage Green colourway is one of those quietly useful colours that sits happily over almost anything. 98% Cotton with 2% Elastane for ease of movement, and fully lined throughout.

When you buy Lily & Me, you know exactly who made it.
