Fifty Sense Seal of Approval

Riding Jacket

Just because you came from experiencing the outdoors does not mean you have to look like it. This is a soft shell blazer that looks great and is designed to keep the elements off your body. Wherever your day takes you, I suggest bringing this jacket with.

It has a very stylish cut that is quite comfortable. The articulated sleeves and fabric's four-way stretch allow for freedom of movement. The buttons run all the way to the lapel. So when the wind is swift, pop the collar and shut it out.

The shell is made of 100% recycled polyester that is treated with DWR. That means it repels water for those of you who do not enjoy acronyms, fyi I do. So that means you will stay both dry and warm.

Weather is never more unpredictable when we are away from home. At only 21 oz there is always room to bring the Riding Jacket. It emerges from a bag or a ride in the car looking wrinkle free and ready to wear. So now you stay dry and warm while looking good.

There are two hand warming pockets, another on the interior and a zippered chest pocket. The body is ½ lined with a full lining in the sleeves.

This is flat out a great looking jacket that is extremely well made. It performed well in all types of weather throughout the seasons.

On the flip side of the care tag there is a great statement from NAU as to it's durability and style. "Wear it out, or pass it on." It will be difficult to wear out, good thing the style is timeless.

Relaxed Straight Jean

This is the epitome of a nice pair of jeans. I have worn these out to dinner, football games, hiking, even Thanksgiving I had them on all day. Their soft 100% organic cotton is very breathable and kept me comfortable all day. Due to the raw denim they get more comfortable every time I wear them.

There are two pockets in the front, two in the rear and a coin pocket in the front right one. The tailoring is suit-quality which provides great durability and a very smooth style. All the seams are bound and there is a poplin waistband. There are also 6 belt loops around the waistband to make sure a belt can do it's job.

These are my most useful pair of jeans. They look and feel good all day no matter what I am getting in to. I am dressed to play, pray or party when I wear these.

Confidant Dis-Dress

While Nau is generally known for their Urban wear, they have proven themselves to be a great Travel wear company as well. The Confidant Dis-Dress is a fantastic, stylish travel dress that when performed very well as a City traveler.

Perfect for fall to wintery weather, this classic shirt-dress is crafted from naturally soft and insulating merino wool. A tunic collar and thin double-wrap fabric belt complement the sculpted fit and button-down style, giving it a very flattering fit, while remaining comfortable.

Intrinsically durable, wool resists stains and wears well to look great right out of the suitcase. 4% spandex adds a touch of stretch for improved comfort and movement.

I took this dress with me to travel an urban area and wore it all day. It is comfortable enough not to hinder my adventures of the day, yet stylish enough to wear to dinner and out for a night on the town. All day I received compliments from complete strangers on what a great dress it was- I agree!
