Short jacket with reinforced seams, button front, and straight body. Cut to resist damp and spray. Today it is a practical outer layer for coastal climates and travel. On Atlantic crossings, deck jackets of this form were worn on open decks to shield from wind and cold spray, giving protection without heavy bulk.
Transatlantic voyages from Le Havre to Cayenne exposed passengers to variable weather. Decks were often cold, damp, and windy, even on modern liners. Garments like deck jackets provided layered protection for evenings on deck, where travellers sought both fresh air and relief from cramped interiors.
