Has there ever been a jacket that you find yourself bouncing back and forth between either purchasing or resisting? That’s what I’m currently going through with the new spring Burberry Cotton Jacket. I of course love everything about this jacket - the navy blue color and the overall mini trench style. However, a couple weeks ago when I going through my jacket closet, doing a little spring cleaning, I re-discovered an old Banana Republic jacket that I purchased a couple years back. And it looks identical. Only real noticeable difference, is that the jacket that I purchased from BR is made 50% Lyocell (a soft silk like material that is resistant to wrinkles) and 50% cotton and the Burberry topper is 100% cotton. The only thing I hate about my BR jacket is that the belt always slides off - it’s so annoying! Which is another reason why I’m leaning towards the Burberry Cotton Jacket.
The navy double-breasted cotton jacket features logo-embossed pewter button fastenings at front, hook-fastening tab at collar, a buckle-fastening belt at waist, short lapels, front pockets, a wind flap, buttoned tabs at cuffs, a storm flap, buttoned epaulets and is fully lined. Materials: 100% cotton; main lining: 97% cotton, 2% nylon, 1% elastane; sleeve lining: 100% cotton.
The Burberry Double-Breast Cotton Jacket is available at Nordstroms. Retails for $495
