"It's hard to miss with how striking it is, but that full placket zip does a lot of heavy lifting here. It lets this jacket assume different modes: a minimal navy layer fully unzipped; zipped towards the bottom it has that retro blouson shape that just oozes style; and fully zipped it takes on sleak activewear look. It's one of those endlessly versatile jackets I can see being a daily driver without hesitation, you'd be set for nearly any weather or occasion."---Ludwin
