Hey guys, I'm planning to order a casual jacket through Proper Cloth. This one is particular;

and I'm currently thinking of doing:
- Half canvas with light weight chest canvas and natural shoulders (I have naturally wide/powerful shoulders; I lift and do contact sports)
- Peak lapels (these are 4.25 inches wide)
- Flap pockets (not sure 2 or three where you have one on top of the other, dont know what they're called)

I'm really excited for the peak lapels to be honest.What do you guys think? Does this come off as being not so casual?I'll be wearing it for work (I teach at a university) and going out with friends or on dates. I want it to be versatile.


Here's a picture of me in a SS jacket for reference. The fit will be the exact same except sleeves and I'll have peak lapels instead. All input is appreciated. Thanks!
