Bought this for a weekend trip thinking I'd wear it once. Ended up reaching for it every day. The waxed leather has real substance, heavier and more structured than a regular jacket, and it makes you carry yourself differently. The cognac color is warm and versatile -- wore it to dinner, a client lunch, and over a sweater on a casual day and it worked each time. Three button front and notch lapel give it a tailored feel without looking stiff. Pockets are functional. Sleeves fit right. This is the kind of piece you keep coming back to.
