    Help me find a verys specific casual-ish jacket

    I have a wonderful half-casual/half-warm weather day on the hill jacket that is at the end of it's life. It's been good to me, but it has far too many tears and patches to be worn anywhere respectable. I'm looking for a very specific type of replacement for it, and it's proving difficult to find. Any guidance is much appreciated.

    Basically what I'm looking for is a lightly insulated, borderline casual jacket with a sweatshirt/fleece hood. There are a ton of options out there with the faux-vest look (i.e. fleece hood and sleeves), but I'd much prefer to have the sleeves match the rest of the jacket. I know it's a weirdly stringent preference, but I always have specific tastes when it comes to stuff like this.

    The closest I've found so far is this 686 jacket, which looked perfect but ended up fitting weird (really boxy and oddly long.) Anything else out there that hits my admittedly small target?

    My first thought is something from a skate company.

    That’s actually not a bad place to look. Thank you. I might have to be careful about being that 30-something dude still wearing skate getups, but it might be the ticket. The jacket that’s being replaced is from a surf brand, after all.

    Ha, I’m in the same boat. Usually cruise around on a skateboard a little during mud season.

    I worked a olympic qualifier freestyle comp a few seasons ago. It was warm during the event and probably 95% of the competitors were wearing cheapish windbreakers like champion, starter etc. same with the park rats. 90’s throwback. Damn kids.
