This is a great jacket.  The outside pockets have parallel zippered pockets that are a great feature.  It took me a while to figure it out.  I kept trying to get my keys out of one of the pockets while they were in the other!  But once I saw what was going on, I really appreciated the feature.  You can keep valuables (keys, whatever, etc.) zipped up and safe from falling out and still have the open two side pockets for other stuff.  I don't know why they don't mention the feature in any of the descriptions.

Anyway, the zippered outside pockets and inside zippered breast pocket were some of the reasons I wanted this jacket to begin with, so to have the extras was a real bonus.

You can take it off and set it down while you're out and not worry that your stuff will fall out.  That's important to me.  It also has an inside lower panel velco closing small pocket for a cell phone.  This is also super with the same result as the previous comment.  It closes securely and is also "not to worry".

The material is a nice durable microsuede.  I had the same jacket before and it is still holding up in its fifth year.  Only problem is one of the outside pockets that I put my keys in finally wore out and the keys would go through and get caught in the lining.  It's sewn up for now so I thought this was a good opportunity to buy a new one.  So now I have two, the older one I am using more to "bang around in" and keeping the new one for more formal "but casual" occasions.  The original I have doesn't have the "double" outside pockets.
Guess what?  I like the zippers!  I would recommend this to anyone wanting a durable, good looking, practical, useful jacket and if I say much more about it they'll raise the price so I'll stop here!
