4We messed with the classic blazer and created a weather-resistant, recycled polyester soft shell that blurs the lines between technical performance and tailored style.

This is by far my most favorite jacket of the 4 nau jackets I bought over the last 5 years. It it light yet provides enough warmth for the cool Seattle/San Francisco weather. It's great that the top button nicely wraps the collar around the neck when it is chilly outside. Also, the sleeves unbutton and fold up like a good dress shirt. The fit is excellent!
But why didn't I give it FIVE stars? Well, the inside slip in pocket--as another reviewer thankfully mentioned--barely fits a passport or easily allows for an airline ticket to be dropped in. It so defeats the purpose of a drop-in pocket that I sadly have to knock off one point from this otherwise awesome jacket.
NAU: Please fix this glaring design discrepancy. Thanks!

Great, lightweight, true-to-size blazer that can also be worn under a coat. I love my Shroud of Purrin blazer, but it's really more like a jacket. The Riding Jacket V2 is truly a modern blazer.
The single inside pocket is a little narrow, but it's deep. There's also an small, external pocket w/zipper.
The sleevs are also a bit long, but it's part of the design.
I purchased the jacket in Raven which is like an olive gray. The product photos very accurately reflect the true color.

Great looking jacket with nice material, and fit. Perfect for travelling, night on the town, dress up or down.
Big downside: 1) Internal pockets - only 1 2) Internal pocket -does not zipper or snap so stuff can fall out or be pick pocketed 3) Both the internal pocket and the external security pocket are too small! They will not hold a passport in a passport holder or I assume Nau's own passport wallet. A bare passport barely fits.
Fix points 1-3 and this is a perfect 5!
