The stitching is the pattern. Panel seams run vertically down the front and across the chest, and every one of them is topstitched in a contrasting thread that shows clearly against the surface - so the jacket is drawn on itself in lines.
That construction is lifted from a varsity jacket and the proportions follow: a pointed collar rather than a ribbed band, dropped shoulders, a two-way zip through the front, and deep ribbing at the cuffs and hem to pull all the volume in. The faux leather has a slight sheen and a soft hand rather than a stiff one.
It is a loud jacket that is entirely one colour, which is a harder thing to pull off than a print.
