Eddie Bauer has opened up a temporary down-only store in Rockefeller Center. While my assistant, Asheley, and I both swooped in to scoop up some trapper hats (kind of a bargain at $38), I spied what I think is the real star of the store—a down blazer for men. The picture looks like nothing, but I swear that it’s a different story when worn. And it is perfect for our weird, it’s-40-degrees-one-day-and-70-the-next-weather of late. If only they had made this for women, too.
$128-$138 at Eddie Bauer, multiple locations, eddiebauer.com.
