Whats your favourite jacket for photography?.

Combination of style and practicality?

Mine are the US M-43, M-51 and M-65 combat jackets. Cool, stylish, relatively warm, inconspicuous and practical.

Mine is the Rohan Assignment Jacket which has been on offer but now only has small. I've had mine for a year and I can't fault it.

That Rohan jacket looks really nice. Like most practical and stylish jackets its modeled on the M-65, just can't beat the original though.
This is another nice but expensive option, has an amazing number of pockets both inside and out, was very fortunate to find one on ebay for £55 unused:

Military uniform inconspicuous! That must surely be in the eye of the beholder.

Well I cover a lot of political demonstrations, strikes, occupations, etc. and blend in nicely wearing them. They are very popular street wear here in the UK.

I have a nice one I got from Cameraleather.

I live in Texas, I rarely require anything more than a hoodie sweatshirt, especially for this non-existent winter.

Three button thin lapel single breasted suit jacket.

Seriously? This puts all the bag threads to shame. I like a trenchcoat. Nothing like the feeling of the air up under there.

I laughed out loud! Thank you.

Got pictures? Large pockets would be good.

The "Explorer" jacket from L.L. Bean. Many, many pocket, hood in the collar, washable, roomy, cool. My favourite.

Domke 735 Photo Convertible Jacket with removable sleeves. Terrific for lots of climes!

 

[rpsawin]

Maybe not so fashionable but the BlackJacket is very useful.

Wasn't there a shoe thread a while back?

The ultimate jacket for photography must be one of those blue street sweeper jackets that Bill Cunningham wears.
