Insulated jackets are often associated with being bulky, oversized and sometimes even too hot, but the Taylor Stitch x Mission Workship Albion Jacket looks to cut through these stereotypes with a comfortable and cool design.

Created to be a good-looking piece of clothing that's slim enough to be worn without restricting movement (or style), the Taylor Stitch x Mission Workship Albion Jacket is lined with [Polartec](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squad-jacket) fleece. The exterior of the [insulated jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elysium-blue-jacket) works as a windshell that's [water-resistant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nano-puff-jacket) and designed to be quick-drying.

The Taylor Stitch x Mission Workship Albion Jacket has an aesthetic that's slim to wear yet stylish enough to be worn in the city. The style is almost reminiscent of button-up shirts with a design that's only slightly thicker.
