Default Spring Time = Jacket Weather

Now that spring is pretty much here. I'm looking for a jacket to wear. I would like it to be black and a good deal. What type of jackets do u guys have, and any suggestions.

depends what you mean by "jacket".


When it starts getting nice out, I start wearing blazers and suit separates like this:



on the weekends, you'll catch me in the jackets on the right ...

the blue/light blue and maroon/grey are by Puma from Footlocker.com. I used a 40% off code to get those for under $16 each.

The white one, is more of a fitted hoodie (without the hood), with a fleece interior lining from American Eagle. $20 on that.



For anything black and sporty (Pump, Nike, whatever), go to Footlocker.com.

Something like this...but now quite as gay

materials like cotton, polyester, nylon, and linen are lighter, breathable, and more fitting for the season.


It's like the difference in a spring sweater (cotton, light) and a winter sweater (wool, thick).
