Brown reads warmer and less formal than black, which makes it the easier jacket if your wardrobe runs to cream, camel, denim and olive. It is also the one that visibly ages — the elbows lighten, the collar darkens, and after a couple of years it looks like nobody else's.
Tan and camel sit alongside cream, white and light denim and look best in spring. Cognac is the mid-point and the most forgiving across seasons. Chocolate behaves almost like black but stays warm, and it is the one to choose if you want brown without the jacket announcing itself.
In one specific way: it will not sit next to black. Black pants and black boots under a brown jacket look unresolved, and for a lot of women that rules out most of the wardrobe. If you mostly wear black, buy black. If you wear denim, navy, gray and cream, brown is the more interesting jacket.
Better, if it is dyed through. The high points lift towards a lighter honey, the creases hold a darker tone, and the whole thing develops a depth that a new jacket cannot fake. That change is what you are buying with brown; a jacket that stays identical has a coating on it.
It sits closer to skin than black does, which is why the shade matters more. Warm undertones carry tan and cognac easily. Cooler undertones tend to look better in chocolate, where the brown is deep enough to behave like a neutral.

Brown moves in and out of fashion faster than black does. If you want one jacket for a decade, black is the safer buy; brown is the more rewarding one.
Not from dyed hide. Transfer happens with surface pigment, which is also what rubs through at the elbows.
It is the hardest pairing to make work. Tan, brown or white footwear sits far more easily, as does a bag in a related tone.
Chocolate. Tan shows everything, which some people want and others regret in month two.
