Fashion

What makes you question it? The weather / waterproofness? I'm sure it'll be absolutely fine in the city, or are you gonna spend hours in the rain doing high intensity stuff?

I am all for environmentally friendly and buying second hand. I do it often. However. Don't beat yourself up about buying new clothes. Buying from someone like Private White is literally a thousand times better than buying something from H&M.

Regarding the jacket itself, i really like ventile a lot. I've been incredibly impressed by the ventile chore coat I own. A testament of this is, when it rains, my trousers get soaked because so much water runs off of the ventile and down onto my trousers... good...but annoying obviously. My torso has stayed bone dry even in the heaviest of downpours (New York rain drops are the size of golf balls sometimes). I would like a full length ventile coat to stop this from happening :-)
