Please help me find this

So, with the advent of Spring right around the corner, I'm looking for a lighter weight jacket that I can wear with slacks, dress shirts, light sweaters and my typical open collar business casual attire for the cooler mornings (I wear a beige light BB trench on suit days).

I' trying to find something that resembles a blazer, in charcoal and that is made from some type of "tech" material so that I can get some wind and water resistance. Anyone know where to look? I've tried Yoox, BB, Jpress, Polo and Nordstroms all to no avail. Any ideas were to find this????

Thanks, I appreciate any help you might be able to provide!

Something sort of like this:

But not Gucci and under $600

I personally wouldn't wear this but you asked:

2) http://www.duluthtrading.com/71501.a...nded_products#


The only other option I think would be to have a blazer custom made from the Loro Piana StormSystem fabric.

Thanks, unfortunately those are a bit "meh"... Anyone have any other suggestions or ideas?

Let me pose a different question then... What would you guys be looking at for a Spring weight jacket that works with both business casual and nights out? Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

I'm not an expert on this topic but I feel like most people on this forum would just go with a blazer/sport coat of the appropriate weight and wear a raincoat for rainy days.

If you've got the money, Nau has a couple of blazers along those lines:

Specifically, I'm thinking the Riding Jacket and the Shroud of Purrin. A bit expensive for me, but I quite like the former.
