Default Discrete bike jacket, is their such a thing?

I'm looking for a waterproof jacket for use on and off the bike. Something that isn't bedecked with a million logos, zips, padding bumps and is available in non-garish colours. Back armour isn't necessary as Knox jobby will provide that. Has anyone any suggestions? Ta.

I've got an alpinestars twist Jacket

It has a small logo on both arms, at the front on the left hand side above the waist,

Its black and has reflective piping, IMHO its very subtle and its also goretex

Not sure why you'd want to hide the fact you ride a bike tho... I always want what I'm wearing to be 'screaming' that I'm a biker...

Ah Ping sure I'm not bothered if anyone knows I've a bike or not, once I still do that's all grand
As for "be safe be seen" that's aided by my thoroughly dashing Sam Browne reflective belt and glowing headlights, tweak those beams . . .
The Dainese City Trax jacket looks just the job, ta. They're not giving it away are they, looks very costly in Euro, feckin' conversion.
