JACKET has amazing styling, with a peplum and nipped hourglass waist, big convertible portrait collar, shown worn different ways in the photos, bracelet sleeves, hidden button under collar to wear it flat. Self-fabric buttons, bound button holes. Buttons have long thread shanks because suits were made this way to give leeway and comfort to sizing and fit. They can be tightened if necessary.
