Norm Thompson
Carefree Traveler's SuedeTM Jacket, 22377


Norm Thompson jacket photoI've been a fan of Norm Thompson Outfitters since the mid-1970s, when they sold me an Irish tweed hat that lasted more than 20 years. So I figured I'd like the Carefree Traveler's SuedeTM Jacket, and I wasn't wrong.

As the trademark symbol in the name might suggest, "Traveler's Suede" isn't real suede--and that's what makes it so convenient for everyday wear while traveling. The polyester microfiber fabric looks and feels like suede leather, but it doesn't require any special care and won't get damaged if you're caught in the rain. It's also lightweight (even with a full polyester lining), which makes it more comfortable than natural suede when worn indoors or on humid days.

The Carefree Traveler's SuedeTM Jacket comes in five colors: taupe, navy, chocolate, black, and cognac. I recommend the taupe or chocolate, since those colors look most like natural suede.

Price: US $199.

Look and fit: The jacket has an American-style cut and drapes nicely.

Ease of care: Wrinkle-resistant and washable.

Special features: Three inside pockets, including a button-flap pocket and a zippered pocket for airline tickets.

In a nutshell: An easy-care synthetic suede jacket that you can wear with jeans or khakis in the daytime and dress slacks in the evening.

Order from: Norm Thompson Outfitters, 1-877-718-7899.
