Every detail on this is a shirt's. A pointed collar, a button placket, two chest pockets with buttoned flaps, buttoned cuffs and a curved shirttail hem that drops lower at the back than the front.
It is cut in faux leather and made considerably longer than a shirt, which is the whole idea - at thigh length in a heavy material it stops functioning as a top and starts working as outerwear. The body is oversized with dropped shoulders, and the surface has a soft creased finish rather than a flat one.
It goes over a knit as a jacket and over a dress as a coat, and there is nothing else in the wardrobe that does both.
