I am looking to buy a rain jacket or wind jacket with a hoodie. I'd like to see if maybe some of the athletic brands like Nike or Adidas may have some new streetwear or retro jackets available. I haven't been able to find any of the retro or vintage lines from Nike, Adidas or Puma anywhere. Are there any places online that may have these athletic brands in that style?? Are there also maybe any places around Wash DC that may have it as well?

Are there any other brands or jackets that yall would recommend? Thanks!

I wasn't able to find a wind/rain jacket. I've seen some slick Nike windrunner jackets off UK and Japan online stores but do yall know of any US online sites that sells some wind/rain jackets.

nau.com has good coats, without the heavy branding of Nike and Adidas.

I've seen some pretty cool looking new balance jackets. they have some in all black that seem very functional but also very streetwear friendly

I second K-way. They remind me of my youth. Up here in Canada you can find them at thrift stores for $5. I always get positive comments when wearing mine.

So, I was at the Rag & Bone/Helmut Lang sample sale today and, on a somewhat related note, need a new raincoat. They had these great Helmut Lang raincoats, typically $770, for $100. Thing is, they're a pretty jarring white. I picked it up anyway, unable to say no to saving $670 and needing a raincoat. Now, I'm a pretty pasty guy, so white coats typically aren't my thing. I can try to post a picture or two at some point, but any thoughts on this? Should a pasty man rock a white raincoat, no matter how cool it is?
