Classy basic jacket
This elegant parka/coat provides polish, without the formal structure of a trench. The fit is figure-flattering thanks to optional waist cinching (not shown here). The two rich neutral colors are reversible, for two different looks! Nordstrom's "M/L" for this garment turned out to be a French T2, basically a U.S. size 8, maybe up to 10 here. No indication of water resistance, but the tight weave should protect from at least light rain and wind. The quality of the garment, from fabric to construction, is very high, as is typical for the Gérard Darel brand. Very pleased to add this core garment to my wardrobe!
