Best New Product
Winner: Women’s Canvas Shirt Jacket (7341) Supplier: Vantage Apparel (asi/93390); vantageapparel.com
Made of a durable cotton canvas fabric, this rugged shirt jacket is versatile and on-trend. “We’re seeing a lot of workwear-inspired silhouettes and utilitarian details at retail,” says Breanna Woicekowski-Wiener, merchandiser for Vantage Apparel. Double chest pockets and hand pockets add function, and a longer length in the back provides extra coverage. The matte metal snaps add a modern twist and the plaid flannel lining keeps the jacket cozy.
Best Feature: “The soft plaid flannel lining is both comfortable and visually appealing,” Woicekowski-Wiener says. “When the cuffs are turned up, the lining adds a touch of color and contrast.”
