Blasphemy aside, I wear one of two jackets 95% of my life:
1) A zip-up North Face in black. It's thin, it's durable, and warm enough for most times in the Bay Area. Sadly, it really doesn't mesh well with my slacks/odd-trousers and dress shirts. I do not wear a tie to my very young, business-casual company.
or
2) A thin (much thinner than the North Face) kind of linen-y feeling jacket from Nordstroms, with a motorcycle jacket-style stand up collar. This is better, but it's not that warm and doesn't look that great zipped up.
The other 5% of the time I wear a peacoat by Schott. It's quite bulky and I kind of feel like I'm wearing chainmail when I'm in it. It's very warm and looks good, but it's stiff and hard to move in.
What I need:
A thin, warm, STYLISH jacket that would match my business casual look without looking far too sporty like the North Face, and keeping me warm (unlike jacket #2). I was thinking something like a wool/cashmere blend that is shorter than a peacoat but still buttons up, maybe? Or something similar to jacket #2 but a bit warmer?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I've been racking my brain thinking of something...
