This is a trucker jacket with the proportions redrawn. The pockets, the collar and the snap front are exactly where a denim jacket would put them - but the body is cut with princess seams, which no trucker has ever had.
Those seams run from the shoulder through the chest to the hem, shaping the jacket in at the waist so it follows the body rather than hanging square off it. Two flap pockets sit high at the chest, the collar is a pointed shirt collar rather than a stand, and the cloth has a fine matte nap that reads closer to suede than to denim.
It is workwear with the volume turned down, and it goes over almost everything.
