Can I ask for people's opinion on this jacket?

I got it at a good price on ebay so if it's not working for me I wouldn't feel too bad about reselling.

Looks great to me, better unzipped than zipped. When zipped, the wide ribbing at the waist kinda pinches a bit and creates a noticeable contrast to the fullness in the arms.

Also cool color that will darken variably over time, so just be prepared for that.

I think the style is cool, and the color is nice. Like a suede harrington. I don't think it's cut in a way that makes as much sense as if the body was a little wider and the sleeves a little narrower.

If it feels good wear it. I like it but I'm not in admiration. Then again, I'm no fashion icon.

Thanks for the input, everyone! It's greatly appreciated. I think I generally agree that the fit is a little wonky where the fullness of the sleeves is a little incongruous with the trimness of the body, but it's less pronounced when unzipped. But I do like the color and feel of the suede.

As far as I can tell, the jacket is identical to a Baracuta G9, but the label is Britches of Georgetowne (RIP). Gonna wear it a while and see how it feels. It squeaks a bit when I move.
