This season, I say don’t leave anything to chance when it comes to your rotation of menswear essentials and especially, one of the best spring jackets for men. And when it comes down to it, Todd Snyder — famed American menswear designer — is about as iconic as it gets in terms of delivering spring style essentials with flair and utility.

That might mean something rugged yet surprisingly refined, like one of the best Western shirts on the market, or it could mean something equally useful for spring, like an updated version of the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket. In my experience, whether it’s the Todd Snyder Dylan Leather Jacket or this lightweight edition, it’s a step up from the typical trucker jacket, in a way that only Snyder can produce.

This rugged (and again, yet refined) take on the trucker jacket is a personal favorite of mine, merging modern quality and elegance with the casually cool look of a classic silhouette. The latest iteration of the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket uses a lightweight poly-cotton blend for stretch, comfort and easy layering on blustery and cooler spring days and nights.

And it doesn’t hurt that the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket features a tailored silhouette, all the while coming in versatile Cream or Navy color options. It’s an almost dressier take on the trucker jacket, the kind that works as well with tan chinos as it does with light wash jeans and a T-shirt, and that’s never a bad thing to have handy, either.

In one (or both!) colors, the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket is an elegant update to an iconic look, the kind that’s going to upgrade anything you wear it with — and anything you do, from a spring patio imbibing session to weekend coffee outings. Shop accordingly, and then get ready to meet your new favorite seasonal jacket: The Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket, of coursee
