This jacket has quickly earned a spot in my rotation with it's versatility matching with multiple outfits and with it's wearability right out of the box.
It's a medium weight jacket that manages to be warm but not stifling, so I can manage to wear it comfortably in weather where I don't necessarily need a jacket or after the sun goes down and a chill sets in.
The only downside is that there are no hand warmer pockets, but other than that I'm very happy with my jacket and would recommend it to anyone looking for unique but still versatile jacket

Mind-blowing piece of kit. I’ll start with the fabrics, then the cut, then quality.
Let’s first just cut to the chase. This is one of the nicest jacket I’ve ever seen at any price. At $375? It’s not even worth thinking about.
Fabric: I’ve seen the Noragi Jacquard fabric online a few times and it always looks good. But no photo captures just how much contrast and pop there is to this fabric. Some areas of the jacket are blue on blue, others are white on blue, and yet others are gray on white. And then underneath this already kaleidoscope of colors are quite large white stitches some of which are twisted, others straight, and others fluffy. It’s layer on layer of hairiness, some slubs, and distortions. It’s texture on texture, color on color, depth up and down.
Then underpinning this on the body is a 55% wool blanket (rest polyester, rayon, and nylon) blanket that is quite fully and thick and around medium weight. As the yarns have a lot of airiness to them it felt to me quite warm as soon as I wore it. I plan to wear it as a mid-later in cold weather and I think it’ll work better than almost any flannel for that. The blanket also has its own assault of texture and color: red, yellow, and gray stripes with the latter having neon colored flecks like a donegal placed within—very rainbow-sequence. The sleeves, lastly, have a quilted, padded stain-lined area that also feels very warm.
Cut: The cut, I think, is absolutely perfect. It ends right at the waist and works perfectly with high-rise of mid-rise denim like picture here with Samurai’s 25oz sv3000 Benkei’s. The sleeves, note, do seem a little tighter than other jackets but the body has some room. Most of all, I think it looks flattering, doesn’t get in the way, and I think it perfectly suits the fabric.
Stitching: So far I haven’t seen a single missed or broken stitch. A lot of the construct is single needle too there is nothing abrasive or uncomfortable anywhere. The collar is large and has supporting stitching in the back that helps keep the collar up if it gets windy—I love this feature and wish all jackets had it!
Overall: 10/10. A++. Beautiful fabric, really clean cut, comfortable, warm, and, in my opinion, looks spectacular.
