I have a few tweed kilt jackets (ok, ok - only 2) that I wear when going out, semi-dressy and dressy (for me) but when I'm going out and about, sometimes (i.e. the mall, downtown, movies) I don't want to wear my kilt jackets. Nor do I want to wear my regular non-kilt-specific jackets, but yet it's too cold to not wear a jacket, so I'm stuck feeling dressed up in a tweed. For instance, the other week I was holiday shopping in a kilt and a sweater with a tweed jacket over it. WAAAY too dressy (again, for me) and way too hot. I'd've loved something short and more casual to battle the crowds in.

I've seen some pics of guys here who have an "Ike Jacket" which I do like a lot but are there other types of jackets I'm missing? Anyone have good/favorite 'short' jackets that aren't the traditional tweed? Vintage looks are cool in my book too!

Thanks much!
