Jacket with pockets
Does anyone know of a very lightweight jacket with inside pocket for women? It is a fall trip, but I get hot easily.
|
I have a light jacket from Dick's house brand, Köppen. It was only around $60 and has done well in the rain. I like that the pockets have zips, too.
|
I just checked those out. A little too casual for me. I was hoping for something a tad dressier that I could wear for dress-up as well.....something very all-purpose.
|
I buy mine from REI, which is clearly not dressy enough for you, but have you tried Travelsmith?
|
yes, - travelsmith - like this one http://www.travelsmith.com/perfect-t...er=77563693428
Magellan used to have a terrific one that I think it was discontinued. But maybe they have new styles. |
OK. I just ordered the TravelSmith jacket. It had 2 reviews. One said it looked classy and elegant, the other said it looked cheap! We shall see. I've used TS a lot (but somehow missed seeing this jacket!) At least I know their return policy is good if the second reviewer was more right than the first.

I ordered the TravelSmith jacket. Didn't like it's look on me. They had a vest with pockets on sale. Didn't fit well. Guess I'll give up the idea and just work with handbag across the body.

And keep your eyes open, maybe you'll find something you like when you least expect it. I have never liked jackets with lots of pockets made expressly for traveling--they're just too bulky once you load them up, for me. But I do have one that happens to work great for traveling, because it has two outer zip pockets and one internal zip pocket:

This company has a complete line of "travel vests": www,scottevest.com
They are very lightweight and have a variety of pockets. They worked well for us. |
Oops, the website should be: www.scottevest.com

It's easy enough to have an alterations person add an interior pocket a piece of clothing you already own.
|
If you view the Scottvest site on a phone you get a 20% promo code if you get them to send a reminder to view the site on a computer.

I have a denim jacket I like a lot and works for casual and a little dressier. Think I'll investigate getting a pocket added to it. AND keep my eyes open.
Thanks all! |
It's a tip I think I first read about from backpacker-style travel on the Lonely Planet forum. Wehre people were adding secure interior pockets to various pieces of clothing they were using for travel (pants, skirts, etc.)
