Have you considered your spring-jacket situation yet? If not, let me suggest Uniqlo’s Blocktech Half Coat, which, fittingly, is half-off today. It has a slightly oversize fit that will cover your butt, but it isn’t so bulky that you can’t pack it in your work bag. It’s water-repellent and windproof, and the hood’s two-way design means you can stow it inside the stand collar or unfurl it for head protection.
In our guide to the best men’s raincoats, associate editor Jeremy Rellosa named a very similar coat from Uniqlo’s Blocktech line as his “top pick for anyone who doesn’t want to think much about their raincoat and just wants something basic to stay dry.” The weatherproof and durable Blocktech fabric is also recommended by Nicolas Lazaro, an editorial manager at Buck Mason, who says it offers “a flattering structure with just enough stretch for comfort.”
The coat is in stock in sizes XS through XXL in black (pictured here), white, and navy blue.
