Loving the vibe of this super oversized Fall weight houndstooth jacket blazer. I'm pretty certain this is was originally a Large or X-Large, but because of the way it drapes over the shoulders I think it can be worn well across other sizes. I'm a size Small usually and it falls over my shoulders more like drop shoulder, meaning the shoulder seam drops below the shoulder on purpose.

I have the sleeves both rolled and tucked under to show other ways to wear it and how it would look if the sleeves were taken up by a tailor. Totally doable. I love the long oversized feel. It is a mid weight jacket with a lovely black lining. Perfect for Fall or early Spring. In excellent vintage condition. High quality fabric and make.

I have it draped over a skinny black jersey dress, but I would love to pair this over a pair of black, ankle length, thin-legged, high-waisted slacks and crisp white button down collared shirt. Throw in patterned neckerchief to really pull it all together.
