Can a "breathable" waterproof jacket be made to shed water again?
I have a Columbia "Omni-Tech" jacket which is my go-to garment for dog walks and the like when it's wet out. Structurally it is still fine, but the shell material no longer beads water, or at least not for very long, which makes wearing it not a lot of fun. [more inside]
Please tell me what nice coat to buy!

How do I stuff my jacket into its pocket?
I have an Eddie Bauer Weatheredge barrier edge shell jacket. I remember watching the sales clerk pack it into (I think) the right-side pocket at the store years ago, but now I can't remember how she did it. Yahoo videos talk about a double-zippered pocket being the one to stuff the jacket into, but my jacket doesn't have a double zipper on any of its pockets. I can't find the jacket on the Eddie Bauer website and Google isn't helpful either. Does anyone have any ideas?

Help Me Buy New Winter Jacket

A hood that sticks waaaaay out
MeFites, I want a coat with a hood that has (faux) fur trim that I can roll out so it sticks out far past my face to block the sun. From the side, it looks like a periscope. I have seen people wearing such coats (e.g., a men's Canada Goose parka, except that's animal fur). How do I search for this type of hood? Does it have a name? [more inside]
Patagonia rain jacket repair
Best patch for the spot where my Patagonia rain shell liner is delaminating? I called Patagonia and they can't repair the lining (they offered to replace it, but that seems like a waste when the rest of the jacket is in perfectly good shape). Any recs for an adhesive or iron-on patch? Photo inside. Thanks! [more inside]
How to measure for a child's suit jacket
My son wants to wear a suit jacket in a jazzy color for an upcoming wedding, so I'm looking at buying an inexpensive one online. How do I measure to ensure the right fit? Apart from the shoulders/chest measurement, he has a bit of a belly and I want to make sure it buttons and looks nice. Further, what style looks best on a Pooh Bear physique?

I got a jean jacket at the thrift store today. Can anyone tell me more about the embroidery on the jacket generally or the patch specifically, which apparently refers to the Vietnam War in Vietnamese? [more inside]
Help me find this jacket please!
Please help me find this awesome jacket that the character Janet wears in S2E1 of Kim's Convenience. Seen here (from 12:03), it's a denim, military-style jacket with a bomber/baseball style collar. Despite a lot of googling various combinations of words I cannot find one like it! Thanks in advance.
Lined denim jacket for the small, effete gentleman
I covet and always try on Lee Storm Rider and flannel-lined Wrangler jackets at thrift/vintage stores, but they are cut wide and boxy, and I am a skinny little trans fella. Where can I get a lined jean jacket in the classic workwear style, but with a skinny fit? [more inside]

Smelly question
I put a brand new jacket over a brand new tshirt on my clean body. After about an hour or two, the armpits of the jackets were smelling a bit sweaty. My armpits didn't smell and neither did my tshirt. The jacket is polyester lined which I guess caused this. BUT why did nothing else smell? And is there anything I can do to stop this? I was wearing antiperspirant and didn't feel sweaty or anything. :(

Looking for a women's fall jacket (maybe military style)
I'm looking for a lightweight-ish jacket to wear when it's not quite cold enough for a full-on coat but I still need an jacket. (Really trying to stop just wearing multiple layers of extremely schlubby hoodies in such situations.) I think I'd like one of those greenish vaguely-military style jackets that seemed to be everywhere last year/a couple of years ago, but I'm having trouble finding one I like.
Can you help, fashion-savvy MeFites? [more inside]

Find the blazer of my dreams
About a decade ago I had an amazing dark green-brown/olive corduroy sport coat that I loved. It's since been lost in a number of moves, but I'd love to find something similar again. Please suggest a similar men's blazer if it turns out finding another one isn't in the cards. [more inside]

Can you recommend a winter jacket for use in Wisconsin winter?
I come from California and this year will be the first winter I have to deal with in Wisconsin. I did live in Baltimore a while back, but I expect this winter to be somewhat more severe. I'm looking to purchase a warmer and better fitting jacket for this winter. While I won't be doing intense skiing/hiking outdoors, I will be walking around for 30-45min, mainly to get to work and just check out the snowy weather. More details... [more inside]
Where to find a great men's leather jacket in Los Angeles?
Mefites of Los Angeles, where do you go to try on leather jackets for men in person? Asking for a friend whose tastes lean more toward the Tim Burton end of the spectrum than toward office-wear. Must be a brick-and-mortar establishment. [more inside]
Stains on a jacket from fermented watermelon. Can I mask the damage?
This dingleberry left a watermelon in a bag in her car on a hot day. Even more stupidly, I covered it with my favorite jacket. The watermelon must've fermented/exploded, then whatever sludge was left gave my navy blue 98% cotton, 2% spandex trim jacket (with gold metal lobster clasps and some similar hardware) some funky bleached-out patterns that haven't come out after two washes. How can I mask the damage so that the jacket is a solid color again? [more inside]
Fake leather jacket in NYC
Where can I find a fake/faux/vegan leather men's jacket in NYC (preferably Manhattan)? Some of the ones on the Wilson Leather site look good — but I'd like to try it on in the store, and they don't seem to have a NYC store. Please recommend a specific store, not just a general area. Thanks in advance.

I bought an Asics jacket at Marshalls. I would like to know year, msrp, intended use (just for fun).

Recommendation for women's reflective running jacket
I'm trying to find a reflective women's running jacket-- not the kind with tiny little reflective strips at the zipper and seams, but the full-on blazing reflective jacket that lights up your entire torso when light hits you.
It's getting dark early now and I don't like running at night/early morning with my current puny reflective-seam jacket. It's also very rainy (Pacific Northwest) so I'd like to avoid the boxy reflective-strip vests in favor of a jacket. [more inside]

Need help finding a stylish but warm winter coat.
My old pea coat has finally been laid to rest. After last year's brutal winter, I was thinking of upgrading to something a little warmer. But I'd also like it to be something I can wear with business attire, so I'm leaning towards something like a wool overcoat. Can you name some brands that have quality (i.e. warm) women's winter jackets? [more inside]

I basically want clothing slash library
I'm looking for a decent three season men's warm up jacket with a large inside pocket that can fit a decent sized book (two paperbacks or a larger hardcover). Does anyone make this? I carry a book with me everywhere and I don't always want to carry a bag, but many lighter jackets don't have pockets big enough. Can I find this anywhere?
