I didn’t think the boxy fit would work for me, but it surprisingly does. I am happy that it goes with a lot of clothes I already own (even if they don’t match the HJ aesthetic)
I haven’t been able to find a crop canvas jacket like that that I’ve liked. Usually the fabric is too rough or stiff to get another shirt on underneath. This jacket won me over !!! The color is a perfect muted white that doesn’t feel too stark paired with other pieces, and the buttons are so cute! I love the fit. I am able to wear a button down underneath effortlessly, and I still am comfortable and not restricted. I love everything harlyJae makes!
I bought this to go with neutral trousers and skirts on an autumn trip where it is much warmer than Canadian Autumn, and it's the perfect layer for that. I got Small (usually wear size 2/4, I'm 5'9") and it fits well over a light sweater, with a slightly modern, cropped but not-too-short look. It is more elevated than a jean jacket and almost looks like a casual suit when paired with my creme coloured trousers, yet it still dresses down if I want it to. The fabric is sturdy but soft so it has some drape. In the creme colour, I think the brown stitching adds nice detail but also helps it look more intentional with brown, tan, khaki, or black.
