I know SCOTTeVEST sounds kind of geeky, but they’ve been making some great clothing full of crazy pockets and other hidden doodads for hold iPods, CD players, and apparently guns.

I gotta tell you - the ONLY things that I might change on the Milan are the slightly wider cuffs. It’s a men’s medium, but the wrists feel extra large on me. If I could gather them in just a tiny bit more, then I would be happy with every aspect of this jacket - but bear in mind that my wrists are 5 3/4″ inches, so this would probably not even be be an issue for most men. Even with the wider cuffs, the Milan is now my favorite jacket. So yes, if you run into me in the cooler months, you’ll get an opportunity to pet my jacket.
