The Perfect Corduroy Jacket

When I lived in Brussels in high school my go to was jeans and a blazer with a little neck scarf. It sounds weird but that's what we wore in Europe. While at J Crew pillaging the Crewcuts sale with my daughter I found this treasure buried deep in the sale rack. Go one size down for sure. Wearing it to death already. Anytime it is below 75 (LA fall.....)
