I needed a layer to keep warm..
Honestly, I do like it. It's just a bit thin and flimsy.. For the price, the quality and craftsmanship should be better IMO.

More than a shirt but lighter than a coat, this jacket combines the best of both worlds. It’s made from a ruggedly handsome linen-and-silk basketweave fabric that comes to us from Italy and is light enough to wear when it gets actually hot out, not just warm. It looks excellent all on its own or worn open over a t-shirt as a light layer. Tailored details include four pockets (two at the chest and two at the hip) as well as genuine horn buttons and adjustable cuffs.

Contrary to the other reviewer, I thought that the fabric was pretty substantial and that the jacket was well constructed. I thought it would be too shirt like, but it did have some structure. The fabric is a beautiful brown, textured linen and silk that feels very nice.
The issue was the fit. The pattern is kind of weird and seems like it would only fit a very specific body type. The jacket has a drop shoulder, but then a very high armhole and narrow arm. As a result ,the shoulder doesn’t really feel aligned and bunches up. The body is really wide and straight (maybe even flared?), which isn’t the most flattering. I think the latter issue can probably be fixed by a tailor but the former struck me as unlikely to be fixable, so I returned the jacket. It’s unfortunate because I thought it was otherwise really nice.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on the fit and construction of our jacket. We're pleased to know that you appreciated the substantial fabric quality and the beautiful textured linen and silk blend material. However, we regret to hear that the overall fit did not align with your preferences or body type.
At Todd Snyder, we aim to offer garments that cater to a range of body types, but we understand that certain design elements, such as the drop shoulder and high armhole you mentioned, may not suit everyone's proportions. Kindly note that this jacket has a relaxed fit and sleeve measurements can be found on the size chart should you wish to size down for a slimmer fit.
Best,
The Todd Snyder Team
