This is my second purchase of this jacket. I find the style to be equally appropriate for casual and business style. The chest zippered pocket is perfect for storing your phone and still have it handy. I find the jacket protects against both wind and rain. It’s a mid weight jacket that is comfortable in cool weather and to wear while driving. The 2 zippered side pockets allow for secure storage. I Ron R · macys.com
