It doesn't really seem possible that JCPenney could already be discounting their brand new American Living clothing line. American Living -- a collaborative effort between JCP and Ralph Lauren -- has only been available for a week or so. You might remember those 50 commercials that JCPenny jammed down your throat throughout the course of Oscar night?

Anyhow, the sale is on, and one of the sweet deals is this lightweight, reversible jacket. I couldn't find a picture with the blue/green plaid side out and it's a shame. Plaid is pretty fashionable now, but this is more your 'prep school plaid' -- as opposed to 'lumberjack plaid.'

This jacket has a nice conservative look to it, but the plaid gives you something fun to work with -- it's basically a Ralph Lauren jacket. Plus, instead of a dorky Polo player, the insignia is a sweet eagle clutching an American flag in its killer talons. Colbert would be proud.
