Beautiful plaid. Do you know when the jacket was made because the shoulders look
built-up for an Ivy model? In the early 2000s, If I remember correctly, JP veered from
the pure natural shoulder, for which it was widely criticized. I recall trying on a jacket
in their NYC store and finding the shoulders quite padded and the fabric stiff. I understand that JP has returned to its roots since.

I loved the plaid too, which is why I got it. There is definitely padding in the shoulder. I'll do some research.
