Banana Republic Quilted Full Zip Jacket – $91.00 (reg. $130)
BananaRepublic.com’s 30% off select styles of outerwear ends 10/26. Online only. Get free shipping over $100 with the code BRFREE 100.
Criminey they’ve just murdered this thing with poor styling choices and photography. If you see this thing in store, do yourself a favor and try it on. Here’s what you can expect to see in person that you won’t see in the photos on BananaRepublic.com:
- A slightly darker and much better color
- Not nearly as much poofiness. It’s pretty sleek in person
- A perfect thin-width dark greyish stripe on the shoulders
- A trim and straight fit through the body.
- Killer pockets that dart in then slope up and stay close.
- Not nearly as pronounced stitching.
B.R.com makes this thing look baby poop greenish, as thick as Marty McFly’s “life preserver” and they foul up the look with a half hazardously worn scarf. Where’d this goober learn to tie a scarf anyway? It’s not a limp piece of pasta son. Cinch a bit.
All kidding / negativity aside, this thing looks much better in person and is a sportier higher style casual jacket alternative to the usual all cotton cadet. On the web it looks like a 4. In person it’s a 9.5. Not badly priced at $130 and a steal at $91.00 during this sale.
Being that the 30% off drops the quilted full zip under $100, you won’t be able to use the BRFREE100 code for free shipping. Unless you pick up something else to push you over that $100 threshold. Perhaps a merino wool cable knit beanie for $24.50:

Why is it that for the past year, none of the pictures of stuff on Banana’s website is even close to what arrives at the door? Or what you see in store? This is incredibly annoying.
Matt, I agree. They seem to have a preset filter or something that heightens the contrast and brightens the color. A fake diffusion or something.
Can you give me a guess as to how warm this would be? I’m looking for something that would be suitable for as cold as ten degrees.
