Is there such a thing in the market? Popular brands like North Face and Columbia always have those annoying brand logos plastered on them.

Depends upon what criteria you have for a good winter jacket.

Brooks has quite a few nice casual jackets, but I consider them overpriced, even when discounted.

Bean has their barn coat -

Orvis has an OK Barbour -

I can see that you live in the Pacific Northwest. I don’t know what the winters are like there, but the Barbour worn with layers might be a good option. I wear my Barbour with a liner and it can carry me through as long as the temps don’t dip below 30. Unfortunately where it comes up short is when going against the wind.

unfortunately, most technical jackets, like those you’ve mentioned above, are branded. No getting around it. I have a Canada Goose jacket but the patch is black, so it’s there, but I don’t look like I just stepped off the RRS Discovery.

Not a good thing when you live in Chicago.

no, it is not! But when the wind is relatively calm, the coat does provide surprisingly good warmth and insulation.

A barbour waxed jacket is versatile. Good in rain, wind, and warm enough with layers underneath. I wear mine with a tweed jacket for the colder days.

I have an old Carhart work coat (hooded) that is comfortably warm and, I don't think, it has any exterior labels. I wore the coat when we lived in NW Indiana and can recall wearing it to Chicago on a number of occasions.

I think you mean, the Times Square subway...

I think all Carhartt gear is logo-ed nowadays.

With the OP being in Seattle, I'd recommend Filson over Barbour. I have had the Filson "Cover Cloth Mile Marker" coat for years and it's always served me well. The zip-in liner adds quite a bit of warmth and it's probably sufficient for Seattle winters (wet but not frigid). I've had a Barbour Bedale and a Beaufort and ended up parting ways with both of them because I liked my Filson so much more (I will say that Filson's prices have gone up quite a bit over the past few years and it's easier to find discounted Barbours, but I think I'd still rather have the Filson).

Ah yes....the midtown uniform.
