I have a seventeen-year-old button-up Liz Claiborne brand leather jacket for warm-but-not-hot days. (This isn't my jacket; mine is identical.)
It's a little worse for wear, especially on the arms where I've caught it against clothing racks at the mall, but it's not in "must-replace" shape.
For cooler days, I wear an orchid-pink Columbia down jacket that I bought on clearance at the Columbia outlet. (This one is similar, but not identical.)
And for getting DD at the bus, I wear any number of beat-up fleeces.
