Not feeling the matchiness of the shoes and T-shirt but otherwise a great fit. So jealous of this shirt, been on the hunt for a while!

Thanks! I had the same concern about the matchiness. I’m considering oiling them until they’re more of a chestnut color.

If you do manage to track down the shirt, prepare yourself for endless comparisons to one’s grandmother’s upholstery.

In an airport bathroom, everything from l ebay jacket is rather closed and long in the front, silk linen blend, perhaps a bit old man-ish.
Silk scarf, shawl lapel cardigan, light blue polo, dark denim and mid brown chukka boots with a burnished toe.

I like long jackets in the right context but this is certainly not it. The jacket is way too formal in both cut and fabric for the rest of the outfit.

You need loose wide leg trousers in a similar fabric to the jacket, and it should be a summer outfit, not something worn over a cardigan.

The cut is definitely very formal but I don't really like an unstructured jacket something about structure gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, I also couldn't imagine it as part of a suit as it's mostly silk it would be beyond delicate and the trousers would be a mess with all that linen.

Feel like the whole fit is too affected for air travel. That’s all

the jacket looks too structured and too big, especially with skinny denim
Definitely not skinny denim, roomier fit than 501s, as I mentioned earlier I like structure, that being said it would definitely be better with a natural shoulder rather than the roping.
