Thanks Matimeo. The ADIDAS jacket I'm replacing was a $10 thrift store jacket (bought at the Red White and Blue Thrift down in your neck of the woods, if I remember right). And I've been on the hunt for its replacement at the thrift stores for a few months now with no luck. But I am looking for something a little nicer looking this time. I'd like something I can commute in the rain with and then wear out to a business lunch.
