    I need a new jacket. Something nicer than a hoodie. Something a little less flashy than my neon yellow windbreaker. Something a little less shiny and nylon than my raincoat. I need an old man jacket. Dressy enough to wear into church, but casual enough to throw over a t-shirt at a ball game. I've had them before, but I am looking for a bit more quality. Not a full rain jacket, but I am not a fan of the look of fleece. If money was no object I'd have a custom tweed jacket made...but alas. As a last note, 6'2" and 320 lbs. Big and tall.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks, Grizz

    You could take a look at LL Bean, good destination for "Dad clothes".

    Not quite sure what you are looking for, but their "bomber jacket" and "warm-up jacket" products are pretty straight up casual jackets, with fleece lining but the outer shell is a smooth cloth.

    You could always check typical men's clothing stores for blazers, tweed jackets, or other casual dress jackets. Some cater to big-tall customers so maybe start there.

    Chore / barn jacket from Dickies, Carhartt or other workwear brand ? Barbour style british waxed jacket ? M65 jacket ? Plenty of options.

    I’d think a black pea coat would do. Loads of different variations on the theme, with prices from cheap to a grip.
