Getting back to the OP question; the Valstar Valstarino blouson seems to bridge business casual and smart casual categories, as Derek pointed out.

Simon Crompton did a nice article on the Valstarino's versatility:

To me, the key on that piece is that the button up front brings it closer to tailored clothing. Although not in all cases, a zippered front to me says something to be worn outside, rather than indoors.

dude, are you going to break my balls over not knowing what skinheads wear? Seriously? I’m a middle aged Caucasian physician. I live a white bread life and I have never even seen a skinhead unless caricatured in a movie.
Very entertaining argument about something of no great significance. Great to see a doctor employ the phrase ‘break my balls’. I have only ever heard that in movies like ‘Goodfellas’.
