I use this jacket as my everyday jacket, i don't need anything else I leave in NY if I'm going outside keeps me warm, if I'm going on the train it's just 1 item to take off and I don't need anything else, and goes with everything I'm thinking in getting another color now but I can decide if the purple or the yellow
Great fit great style

Very warm, very lightweight. Feels like you're not even wearing a jacket, yet keeps you warm in the below zero weather as well.
