Jacket for summer

[Mayday981]

Hey guys, I'm right now looking for a jacket that's lightweight at night in the summer and I came upon this Ben Sherman jacket: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shopp...roductID=21625

I feel this jacket would be light for the summer and it looks pretty good. If it is really like the "Members only" jacket.

Looks like a cross between Members Only and a moto jacket. Weird.

Yea that jacket looks pretty decent. Nothing wrong with it, anyway, but nothing special either.

Ive been looking for a summer jacket too and was thinking something khaki in color. What do you think of this J Crew one?

I got a jacket that light color a few years ago and it seems like I have to wash it after I wear it every few times. One on the minus points of living in NYC -

I have this Gstar military jacket. It originally was the winter moleskin version, but with a skillful tailor I managed to convert it into a summer jacket. Very rain resistant since it's waxed moleskin. Cost? Mere $120.

As for washing cotton jackets, used a mixture of woolite, stain remover and water, dip in a cleaning cloth and spot-clean. Worked well for me.
