I got this with the stand up collar cape coat, which I adore. I tried this one on first and found it a lot more like a blazer in some aspects: satin lining, epaulettes, etc. The material is nice, and the fit is OK, but my middle is still a bit big as I am losing weight (although I did have a big lunch). Nevertheless, I plain to wear this with a tam & some other nice garments for a classic look. I'd recommend pairing this with a blouse and vest for underneath, and a pair of chinos or capris. Some other users wore it wither a beret and a dress, and I agree that it's a good look. So really, it's just a question of your imagination.
