Hi. I'm going to be traveling to a very cold climate for work, and I'll spend a few days there. I live in Houston, so I have jackets appropriate for ~40 degrees F at the lowest. I'm looking for something quality, for ~20 degrees F, that's also slim cut with a military-ish aesthetic. Just wondering if anyone knows of such a thing, as I've had a hard time finding something. Thanks a bunch for your help.

You could always just buy a surplus garment, but that wouldn't fulfill "slim." If you want something not too expensive, I'd probably look at The North Face - I've seen them do bomber jackets in the past. Otherwise there are a million designers doing slim, military-style clothing. Maybe look through our WAYWT thread to find examples.

In the future, though, you'll probably have more luck if you post your question in one of the "help me find" or "small questions" thread.
