For the Walk to the Office

Piggy backing on yesterday’s post, the following are a selection of raincoats which would be perfect for a walk from the subway to the office. I prefer a mackintosh since it gives a slimmer look overall.


Jump the Gun 60’s Raincoat $190
Simply perfection. Jump the Gun is a British shop which specializes in mod-influenced menswear. They carry some of the best brands and their house brand is top of the line. Make sure to check out their house shirts and sta-press trousers.


YMC Waxed Mac $160
I’m not too familiar with this brand, but if they can produce an item of this quality for this price, I will need to get acquainted.


JCrew Sutherland $198
There’s not a whole lot to say about JCrew which hasn’t been said. It would just be a crime not to mention this item.


LL Bean Signature Trench $185
This jacket been mentioned in a previous post. Very nice, although at this price point any of these other options might be a better bet. On the other hand, I doubt they will go on sale as often or as deep as LL Bean.


Lands End Canvas Heritage Cotton Coat $80
Certainly not the most stylish, but hard to resist at this price-point.

Caught in the Rain

It’s been raining cats and dogs in the Northeast for the past few days, which gave me an idea for a blog post. After getting caught in a deluge last night, I was left pondering what sort of rain jacket I wish I would find in my closet. Ranging from the more affordable, to the way out-of-the-budget, here are some of the more stylish offerings of wet weather gear.

Fjallraven Nordli $190


APC x K-Way Packable Parka $195


Fred Perry x British Millerain $295


Barbour x Tokihito Yoshida $495


Woolrich Woolen Mills Carlsbad $525


Stone Island Four Pocket Hooded Jacket $655


Nigel Cabourne New Cameraman $975


…And sometimes you just need to grab something more affordable and easy to find, albeit something you might find on the Jersey Shore.

The North Face Prophecy $150
