Your part of the world stuck in the hell that is this pre-Spring, late-Winter temperature roller coaster? Gear up right with the Woolrich John Rich & Bros. Hiking Blazer ($550). Designed by Tokito, this lightweight jacket is made from a cotton/nylon blend that dries quickly and is water repellent, yet still offers reasonable protection from wind and cold.

Indochino Nanotech Storm Suit
Enjoy the benefits of a suit that's as smart as you are with the Indochino Nanotech Storm Suit ($630).

It's not just the exterior that surprises — inside you'll find a waterproof, touch-responsive Smart Pocket for your phone and a metal earphone cable clip so you can stay connected without looking like a prop from Radio Shack.
Custom Suit Lining
It might not be the first thing you think of when looking for a new suit, but the inner lining of your jacket can add a serious boost of style and personality to an otherwise staid uniform. This Custom Suit Lining ($TBA) service lets you upload an image of your choosing, which is then used to form the lining of your new jacket. The only downfall? The service is currently only available across the pond. [Scouted by Ben]

Features include a noticeably slim cut, diagonal pockets, narrower notch lapels, and side vents. Limited to just 250, the suit is made in a Brooks-owned factory in Massachusetts, and while it might be more classically stylish than your current attire, don't expect it to magically turn you into Jon Hamm.
Barbour Correspondent Jacket
Back in the day, news reporters couldn't afford the luxury of a fancy designer suit. They needed a blazer that could pair with any slacks and weather any situation, while still presenting a sophisticated, smart profile. The Barbour Correspondent Jacket ($300) harkens back to the day when looking good meant working hard. The Correspondent is made of pure cotton for breathability and has a soft, tartan lining for hours of comfort. Versatility and functionality come standard here, with three exterior pockets, two interior pockets, and a special pocket for the modern-day report's primary tool: the mobile phone. A double-vented rear pleat and faux-horn buttons complete the design. Available in the only color you'll ever need: brown.
