Right now I've got a Nice Collective unlined cotton jacket, and I'm looking to supplement that with another cotton/linen light zip up, possibly the new blue one from Michael J Krell.

I've got a Fred Perry harrington jacket in black. I love this thing:

i'll use a boss trenchcoat and will buy a wjk m66, which hopefully will be perfect for spring

I believe the cut is identical to this but the fabric is a darker grey.

Yeah, I've also been looking for something short, slim-fitting, and casual to wear in the spring. Thoughts please!

RL's take on the Barracuda is on sale at Bloomies:

The website says $139 but I paid $70 for a black size L at 59th Street yesterday. A bit different style from the G9 with 2-button adjustment tabs on the cuffs and waist rather than stretch. Really nice slim cut.

What do you guys think of black coats for spring? I've always considered it a no-no. But should i reconsider? Black coats are just so...not spring like to me
