Collared Sweater Jacket

A cropped sweater jacket in deep forest green with a tonal faux fur spread collar, gold embossed shank buttons, and two front flap pockets — Karen Kane’s Collared Sweater Jacket is a piece that reads like outerwear but functions as a layer, with the construction logic of a tailored jacket and the fabric comfort of a sweater. The collar is the entry point: a spread collar in a short-pile faux fur dyed to match the jacket’s dark forest green body, wrapping the full neckline circumference front and back in a tone-on-tone plush trim that reads as restrained and refined rather than contrast-trimmed, the texture difference between faux fur pile and smooth sweater knit providing the visual distinction between the collar and the body without introducing a color break. The gold buttons are the second defining detail: five run the center front as the jacket’s button closure, and one more appears on each of the two front chest flap pockets, making seven gold shank buttons visible across the front of the jacket in total. The buttons are substantial in scale, warm gold-toned, and finished with an embossed or engraved face — the gold-against-dark-forest-green contrast is the jacket’s most immediate visual statement, a hardware-and-ground relationship with a heritage, military-adjacent, equestrian character that the faux fur collar reinforces. The two front flap pockets are positioned at the chest, each with its own flap and single gold button closure — functional, structured, and placed where a traditional field or military jacket would carry its breast pockets. The sweater knit body is smooth and dense, a 61% nylon/39% polyester construction that holds its slightly boxy cropped silhouette without lining or interfacing, the fabric’s body and structure coming from the fiber blend rather than from construction layers. The back is completely clean — a single center-back seam and nothing else, which is the correct foil for a front as detailed as this one. Cropped at high hip, set-in sleeves, plain knit wrist cuff, unlined. Body length 20⅜ inches in size M. Dry clean only. By Karen Kane. Sizes XS–XL. Style #: 3L89363.

Styling Suggestions

• Wear with the campaign’s dark green, gold, and brown heritage paisley midi skirt — the jacket’s dark forest green body and warm gold button hardware are pulled directly from the skirt’s ground color and metallic palette, making the combination read as a curated outfit where the jacket and skirt share a color story without being a matched set; the paisley’s greens, rusts, and golds also echo the autumn-heritage character of the faux fur collar and the military-adjacent button detail
• Wear over a cream, ivory, or oatmeal turtleneck or mock-neck sweater with dark olive or khaki straight-leg trousers for a heritage-tonal autumn combination where the dark forest green jacket is the outermost and most structured layer; the gold buttons contrast well against any warm neutral ground and the faux fur collar’s tonal dark green reads as an elevated finishing detail rather than a costume element when the rest of the outfit stays in the warm neutral range
• Wear over a fitted black turtleneck and black slim or straight-leg trousers for a dark-on-dark combination where the forest green jacket reads as the color and texture layer in an otherwise monochromatic black base; the gold button hardware is the warmth and contrast in the all-black-plus-green combination, and the faux fur collar’s texture adds a tactile surface interest that a woven or denim jacket would not
• Style as a layer over a sheath dress or midi dress for a dressed occasion — the cropped hem at high hip means the jacket sits cleanly above a dress waist or skirt hem without covering the dress’s silhouette, and the structured front with gold buttons and chest pockets reads as a polished, occasion-intentional outer layer rather than a casual cover-up; wear open or buttoned depending on the occasion’s formality
