Even if this one isn't quite what you're looking for, hopefully it helps with searching for things in terms of materials and weight! Best of luck with the jacket shopping!

I have two colors of a jacket pretty similar to this one (but without a hood) that do well with mid-30s, wind, and rain, imo fit business casual, and I bet could work into mid-20s with the right layering. And they've been through the wash plenty without issues! www.landsend.com/products/fea...

I've also heard good things about Columbia and LLBean for jackets (I have Columbia sweaters and fleece that I *love*). For all three brands, definitely watching for their sales will help with the price, and if you have a credit card with rewards, sometimes you can also get gift cards to them too!

How winter does it need to hold up to? What temperature? Wind? Rain/snow? My winter jackets of various weights are mostly from Lands End, which is a bit spendier than Target or Walmart, but definitely better quality, and most if not all are washable.

I desperately wish that the music industry understood that I don't want to listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving but alas new Christmas music is already coming out and so I've had to start this year's edition of my new Christmas music playlist on Spotify

it constantly bugs me that the plural of potato is potatoes and the plural of tornado is (usually) tornadoes but the plural of zero is more commonly zeros (no e between the o and the s) because it means when I'm writing code I have to constantly remind myself how it's spelled

I haven't had a cat in an apartment before, but had a roommate with one (undergrad apartment-style dorm) and have cat sat multiple times for a friend in an apartment. Neither cat has been an escape artist. They may come to the door and curiously sniff, but weren't interested in making a run for it

I'll refrain from posting pics for those who don't want their socks spoiled but this month's awesome socks are *chef's kiss* impeccable fall vibes

I should not be as proud as I am for 1) correctly identifying that the new pokemon go level structure follows an exponential curve and 2) using said curve to predict that my new level would be 69, but here we are

My recent surprise package was the pin for backing Endlings on Kickstarter, but that fit into my mailbox (I assume, my roommate was the one who got the mail that day)
