Be Prepared.

It's getting colder out there.

According to the National Climatic Data Center, there were nearly 3,000 record low temperatures set in July.

Wetter, too.

Dorrigo, Australia, had 2,600mm of rain by the end of June, about 1,000mm above average.

Charlotte, N.C., had more than 8 inches of rain in one day.

No, this is not the J. Peterman Co.'s official statement on climate change. But facts are facts.

Plan accordingly.

End of Summer Coat (No. 2450). Windproof, water resistant and downright indestructible. Coating on the underside makes it impermeable, but soft.

Collar and cuffs are trimmed with corduroy. Tartan plaid lining. Roller-buckled neck closure keeps the rain out. All the hardware – snaps, buckles and grommets – are antique brass. Four generous expandable pockets with snap flaps. The perfect three-season jacket.

Gives you license to spout pithy proverbs about the weather.

"There's no need to fear the wind if your haystacks are tied down."

Men's sizes: S, M, L, XL, XXL.

Color: Olive Green with multicolor plaid lining.
