However, something that needs to be mentioned, is the lack of hand pockets. There are breast pockets, for carrying small items such as phones, music players, keys and wallet, and also an oversized inner pocket, but no traditional side pockets.
This jacket closes up with a zipper and buttons, so it has a double protected closure, for insulation, which is also aided by the high collar, and oversized hoodie.
When taking a look at the style alone, this jacket gives the impression of an oversized casual shirt. This is important, because it allows the user to wear it in casual occasions and even daily, thus eliminating the need for purchasing several jackets.
