Caban

Large sports jacket in light fabric. Some believe it is descended from the uniforms of English coachmen of the 1800s and named after the term for the carriage, a cab. Others believe it is related to a jacket worn by seamen from Brittany in the 1700s. Warm and functional, the caban has been manufactured in very different shapes and materials. In the last decade or so it lost its identity as being for men only and became a unisex garment.
