Barena specializes in unconstructed jackets—the kind that people frequently mistake for sweaters—favored by the extremely louche and infuriatingly calm. Their Torceo jacket falls directly between workwear (the irony being that nobody would ever do anything remotely strenuous in this), tailoring and knitwear. Made with the holy trinity of blends (Wool/Nylon/Silk) and big, roomy patch pockets, this jacket can take you from your cushy creative job to bars frequented by wealthy, but seemingly unemployed scenesters. In my case, these jardigans will take me from the center of my living room all the way to my front door for the morning newspaper. Just kidding. Who reads newspapers anymore? Who the fuck even reads? Shout out to all the people who even bothered to get this far.
