Help me find a good fall women's jacket

After lots of searching, I found the perfect fall jacket - only to find that it's out of stock in my size. Help me find one like it?
Things I like about the Eddie Bauer jacket: under $100 (though I'm willing to go a little higher), water-repellent, wind-resistant, can be fitted with adjustable waist tabs, color ("olive green"), material ("waxed cotton"), general look and feel.

Try cabelas and sierra trading post. I've seen similar jackets both places.

Best answer: More expensive, but pretty close match at Boden.

Best answer: BOOM. And on mega sale.
Disclosure: my gf bought the same at full price; it's a great jacket.

Response by poster: Thanks, all! I'll probably end up going with The Michael The's suggestion, but I'm really glad to know about Barbour for something possibly more long term in the future, and I probably would have gone with the Boden option if the cheaper J Crew weren't available.

The suggestions above are better but there are some kind of similar options at Duluth Trading Co..

Best answer: I thought 'Hey, that's my coat!' Which is here -- also J. Crew, unfortunately 3x the price of the The Michael The's find. But, a snappy jacket!

The gold standard of wax cotton jackets is Barbour.
Possible 1
Possible 2
They last a lifetime - just get them rewaxed every year and a half or so (you can do this yourself).

I fell in love with the J Crew jacket and got it since the sale was so good. Beware of vanity sizing! The small I got is like... a medium plus. If you haven't ordered already, keep that in mind.

Response by poster: I got the J Crew jacket and I love it - I wanted it a little big, so the sizing worked out.
