Need recommendation - lightweight jacket

[skalogre]

So, looking for a relatively fitted lightweight (cotton/linen) jacket. Preferably not olive green (something like a M-65 would be ok but I already have on in green).

Any suggestions? Dug around the forum affiliates but have not had much luck. But I do like the look of the older MJK linen jacket on the first page of his affiliate thread, actually.

Stratospherically priced items need not apply. I don't care about the brand as long as the quality is good for the price

It's got a good weight to it, is affordable and is fantastic for dressing down a shirt and tie. Also it you type EXTRA30 at checkout you can knock another 30% off of there.

That is sort of interesting - but only available in Large and above. Considering JCrew's typical sizing, it would be far too large for me

Thank you though!

I still have one more red linen jacket in medium that I would sell for $40...

When you say red, are we talking fire engine red or darker? Edit: You mean similar colour to the one in the thread, sort of dark brick? I am about 5"9 - 5"10, 142 or so lbs. I think the medium may work (we are talking about the Italian linen moto jacket, right?)

Bummer, the curse of slales I suppose. Do you have a Jcrew nearby? I got mine instore marked down to78$ then dropped my student discount on top of that.

If you can wait a couple months, Mr. Olive's spring jackets looked great and we will have about 6 different styles that may be of interest. Most of the jackets arrive to us in mid-January. Look over the Mr. Olive thread to see if there is anything that catches your eye. Guarantee they will be fitted.

Excellent point, I think there is one in town. Thanks.

depending on how light weight you're looking for, the Rag and Bone combat shirt (shirt jacket) from last spring was pretty nice. i have the khaki version. i believe it came in black as well.
