This jacket is all sorts of awesome! Made for Banana Republic when it was still a serious outdoors outfitter rather than just the mall brand it is today, this jacket is simply packed with functional features.

It is made of very sturdy, heavy cotton--although not duck, as it's far more flexible than that, and hence much more comfortable to wear. It features four front patch pockets, all of which are closed by snap stud fastenings, similar t those used by Filson on their coats. All of the pockets are flapped--but the lower two are double pockets; the flapped patch pocket on the outside itself forms the "patch" that forms a second, unflapped pocket behind it. The two lower pockets also have retaining strips of cotton inside so that you can slip your 'phone or other items into them and prevent them from rattling around in the pocket.

The cuffs are button fastened, and the front is both zippered (with a YKK zip) and snap fastened, with a concealed placket. The elbows have built-in reinforcement patches. The waist can be secured by a built in drawstring, for warmth. The epaulettes are fully functional. This jacket comes complete with a button-in liner, which is included.

This was made in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong.

This jacket is in Very Good condition. It has some very minor fraying at the cuff, as shown, and the right-hand epaulette is missing a button, but it is still held in place with thread; this would be an easy fix.

This is very well priced at just $45 > 40 > 38, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS. You're not likely to see another, so if you like it, grab it!

Tagged a L, this measures:

Chest: 21 (seam to seam; this would be good for a 40 or a 42, depending on how you layer)
Sleeve: 25 3/4
Shoulder: 20 (This is outerwear)
Length: 32 1/2
