Charly Jacket

I have several Eddie Bauer raincoats but I really like the style of this one. It is heavier than the others and is a cross between a jacket and a raincoat. I almost didn't buy it because I thought I had plenty of rain jackets/coats but this is my favorite by far. Great Eddie Bauer quality and style. Good buy on sale otherwise a little expensive.

Bought this jacket two days before we left for a 2 week trip to Italy, at the end of November into early December, because we saw rain in the forecast. I ended up wearing this jacket along with my normal long sleeve and or sweater underneath with days adding scarf and gloves and it was just fine. Very warm jacket for "a rain coat". Quality is very nice and holds up nicely. Stitching is strong. I love all the pockets. I have 3 small kids that we took with us so I made use of the pockets. The hood is a hood! It held up in the rain/mist that we had and never felt like it slid off my head. I wore this jacket 100% in Florence and Rome with a few days more northern Italy - otherwise during the December days it was too cold! But I def wore it more than I had planned because it was plenty warm. I bought the navy blue color and found it to be very versatile with my wardrobe.

Got this as a gift for my daughter in the marigold color, just beautiful. A detachable lining would make this perfect.
