For summer, I just want something light that I can chuck on if it starts raining.

I'm liking :



but £200 seems a bit steep (no tight-fisted northerner)

and these are lovely but way, way to expensive (and sold out):



, any other suggestions ?

They are really nice but as you say £200 is taking the piss.

Nick, what about the YMC ones at oi polloi and End, about 100 notes I think. Or American Apparel, even the Topman ones are alright for £30.

The YMC ones are nice, but I kind of like hoods to be hoods not those fold away jobbies.

Theres quite a few idiom jackets going (relatively) cheap on eBay at the mo. Theres a few fake ones but I've seen the pinstripe ones go for 120-150.

firmament for me epitamises the look. I'd love to have every item of clothing on their site in my wardrobe bar the original fake shit.

I've seen them on Ebay, but I don't know which are fake (normally this doesn't bother, me if it's cheap, but £150 for a fake is taking the piss)
