Looking for a stylish medium weight jacket

[Scrumhalf]

The weather here in PDX is still in the 40s and 50s, not cold enough for my peacoat.

I would appreciate receiving some recommendations on a nice jacket that I could use either with polos and jeans/chinos or with more business casual attire like a nice OCBD and wool trousers. Something in the sub-$150 range maybe?

A peacoat can go with your casual wear. There have been lots of threads about that.

 

[Scrumhalf]

Well, I know that a peacoat will work - however, it is not cold enough here for a peacoat. When the temperature drops closer to freezing, I'll get it out.

My query was for some advice on a lighter jacket that is can work with both jeans and business casual. Ski jackets are out, since they will do the former but not the latter.

I was going to say Belstaff (note, I say that for every thread about jackets) but then I noticed your budget

 

[Scrumhalf]

Maybe up to $200, but my budget won't really stretch beyond that given the circumstances.

Maybe a Harrington?

What do you say about the Ben Sherman Double Brested Trench? It' s just under 200$

Short zip black or grey jacket perhaps? See Gap or BR for the less expensive end. Or a decent blazer in dark grey, black, or brown?

Or go for a lightweight cardigan. Those can easily be dressed up or down.

It's cheaper in the long run to just move out of Portland.

Woolrich woolen mills upland jacket.

This would definitely make for a great look with an OCBD. Very mod-ish and relatively cheap, depending on the make.
