Navy is the most reliable colour in boys' outerwear, and this 100% cotton gabardine jacket from Childsplay makes a strong case for keeping one in the wardrobe year-round. The tightly woven fabric gives the jacket a clean, structured silhouette that holds its shape without feeling rigid — smart enough for an occasion, relaxed enough for an everyday layer over a shirt or polo.

Made in Turkey, the pure cotton construction means it breathes well, machine washes without fuss, and doesn't carry the weight of synthetic outerwear. The plain, pocket-free design keeps the look unfussy, letting the fabric and cut do the work. This children's designer jacket pairs naturally with the Childsplay gabardine shorts in Navy for a coordinated look, or works just as well with chinos, jeans, or smart trousers in a range of other tones. Also available in Green and Beige for a complete colour rotation.
