Two materials meet at the shoulder seam. The sleeves and shoulder panels are cut from a smooth faux leather; the body and the collar are a fine textured knit - and the join is left visible rather than disguised.
The collar is the reason it works. It falls in a deep waterfall drape from the neck down past the chest, soft enough to fold over on itself, which offsets the hardness of the sleeves completely. The body is cropped to the waist, the hem falls to a point at each front edge, and there is no fastening pulling the drape closed.
It is a jacket that reads as tailored from behind and as knitwear from the front, and it never has to choose.
