Good cotton jacket or safari jacket

[slappy]

I really like the safari jacket look, or the look of a nice cotton jacket with a few pockets on the front.

I like these Eddie Bauer jackets but I generally am not impressed with wearing Eddie Bauer clothes. Does anyone know of a jacket similar to these made by a better company? I dont need the full on safari jacket look, I mostly just want a nice well fitted cotton jacket with some pockets in the front thats a tan color. I recently purchased a jacket off Gilt by Adam Kimmel (whoever that is) that I thought would fit this bill. I received it yesterday and the 4 front pockets on it are just for decoration, no actual pocket there. Also the jacket feels cheaply made, a horrible purchase all around.

Thanks, Im going to bid for it. Any other similar jackets that are maybe less like a traditional military or safari jacket? I guess what I want is just a well fitted cotton jacket with that has the safari feel to it but not the full on look. Hard to explain really.

one of the few nice things I've seen at BR in the last few months. Fits really slim. http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse...d=1&pid=743211

Much better than Eddie Bauer IMO is Beretta. This is about $225. They also have a very cool belted safari jacket as well but call the store in NYC for details. I think it is $150 or so.

Nah, don't get that jacket. You'll get more millage by sporting a slightly disheveled look in a vintage Ford Explorer "Eddie Bauer Edition". Chicks dig it and you will not look ****.

The truck doesn't look nearly as baggy as the rest of the Eddie Bauer menswear!

I like the safari jacket from Cabela's. Costs between $44.95 - 49.95 depending on the size. I bought my first one more than ten years ago and am on my second one:

I personally like this dior homme on Ebay quite a bit. Too similar to things I already own, though.

LL Bean's Explorer jacket, comes in several colors.

Looks pretty decent.

I'd suggest avoiding any type of clothing that comes in "BIG and TALL" sizes up to 5XL.
