Pretty cool. Norfolks usually strike me as a bit costumey, but the cord makes a big difference.

I like it, though I'm a little biased...

 

[voxsartoria]

Love it.

I like it but it seems short.

Meh... I'm biased against cord in general (go ahead, beat meat with your sartorial derision), but this jacket looks like it's trying too hard, especially:

I don't mind modernity, but personally think this style is better kept to more traditional takes.

I would guess that it falls to normal lapels if you unbutton it, i.e., stage 1:

Unbutton it further, and so on.

Here's the same jacket in wool. Keep in mind that it was designed by a Japanese man and meant for the Japanese market...

 

[voxsartoria]

Yeah, that's nice...good option to the Engineered Garments one.

You probably won't find it anywhere, it was from the Woolrich Woolen Mills collection from last fall/winter and it did not yet have a decent distribution in North America at the time. Keep an eye out for Woolrich Woolen Mills and Engineered Garments next year though, as I believe the Norfolks will be offered again.

Oh Well, I can always have my tailor re-do it to fit me bespoke

The wool looks much better, IMHO.

Very nice. Great color and a unique, without being weird, style.
