My go-to around town jacket

As long as it's not about to rain or too cold (below ~30), this is the one. I like the understated look and color. I got the coffee, and have gotten a number of compliments. I'm 6'3", 230, and XL fits perfectly.
Wind comes through it somewhat. Think of it as a wool version of a fleece. With a tight-weave merino top underneath (Ibex, Icebreaker) it's a pretty warm combination.
