"Taking inspiration from jacket designs of the middle half of the century this jacket takes all the best details of a shirt jacket while still holding it's own. The unlined construction keep it light like a shirt but the plush wool and slightly cropped fit put it squarely in the jacket category, yet you'll still likely want to wear this a light mid-layer under a coat or as a top layer over a knit. Whatever the intent, this jackets got you."---Kenshawn
