A shirt jacket is the answer to most fall mornings, when a coat is too much and a sweater is not enough. This one is washed black denim with a mottled, mineral-wash finish, so it already looks like something you have had for years. The flowers climbing up the front hem and cuffs are embroidered rather than printed, which is the detail that makes people ask about it. Cut oversized with a dropped shoulder and full blouson sleeves, so it goes over whatever you already have on without a fight.
This is cut oversized on purpose, and the dropped shoulder means the seam sits well down your arm rather than at the joint, so it wears larger than the size on the tag. Take your usual size for the intended look. Sizing up is rarely necessary unless you plan to layer it over a chunky sweater, and sizing down brings it closer to a regular shirt fit if the oversized silhouette is not what you are after. The sleeves are full through the arm and gather into an elastic cuff at the wrist, so they blouse rather than taper. Because this is denim rather than a knit, there is no stretch, and the room comes entirely from the cut. Two things to expect: mineral-washed denim varies in depth and mottling from piece to piece, so yours will not match the photo exactly, and the embroidery placement shifts slightly between jackets.
