I've always had a thing for "Ike" jackets and it seems they are getting harder and harder to find. The most popular are the Dickies jackets. I've had several of them, and I like these better. For one thing, the twill has more of a texture to it and seems heavier. Another reason, it's more comfortable and sized better. I like the pocket inside too. The looks are understated and I like that. Simple, sturdy, timeless. One note on the sleeves - they do seem just a tad long, but not freakishly long. I got this on sale for a steal at Amazon and once the blue and black go on sale, will buy them too.
