I need a new jacket…

[unclebilly]

I’m looking for a spring / fall jacket. Something good for -5°C to +10°C… what are the cool kids wearing? It is leather?

I need something I can wear into a customer’s office and not look like a bum but also not overly formal - I have jackets for that.

What do you guys suggest?

This would be awesome but they don’t have my size…



… and I hate Michael Jackson.

My experience has been that leather is the second coldest thing in human experience.

Maybe a nice Barbour jacket? When it gets worn, you can wear it to the barn.

Barbour makes a great jacket...

You can’t go wrong with a Members Only jacket! 😂

^^^^ I have one of those somewhere..... almost "like new"

Mom thought it was the IN thang and "cool" and gave it to me years ago for Christmas.

I'd gift it to unclebilly....

If I didn't like him

I had one as well, back in the 80s. They were all the rage back then.

What sort of customer? Office - shop - dog food plant?

Be bold. Make a statement in your new jacket.

How many zippers are there in the OP?.....24?

A jacket like that would look good in a diff color....but not red.

I have a few heavy flannel shakets that I like for camping and working around the house.
The best one I have is from LL Bean but I don't think the flannel is as thick as it once was.

North Face had one that was quite thick/durable but not sure if they are still making those.

Leather is your outer layer, wool sweater gives you the warmth

Nothing shields you from the wind like leather.

Dad had this lambskin jacket that was a beauty, super soft leather

I have his old leather top coat, looks like something a hit man would wear.

In a previous life I designed this fleece lined flannel trucker jacket for fall. It was quite smart, maybe something like it.

Shearling lined will be very warm, even the regular lined jackets are pretty warm but more for the shoulder seasons than summer or winter

Pendleton used to have some very nice wool shearling coats but I don't see them anymore Filson too but same disappearing act

Then theres the good ole Levis shearling lined denim

There’s a huge huge difference between the 30 year old one I have and the new ones. And it’s not for the better.

If you want warm $100 and change gets you a Chinese knockoff of the army cold weather parka. Best value coat I bought in the last 20 years.
