{"product_id":"el-jay-grey-ultrasuede-vintage-jacket-vip","title":"El Jay Grey Ultrasuede Vintage Jacket 'VIP'","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis El Jay jacket has exactly the sort of understated 1970s tailoring that works beautifully with a modern wardrobe. The soft grey ultrasuede has a slightly mauve cast, with a fine suede-like nap that gives the colour depth. A wide notched collar frames the neckline, while the four-button front and long straight body keep the shape wonderfully unfussy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThere is plenty of good construction to look at once you get closer. Curved seam detailing runs from the shoulder towards the chest, a horizontal back yoke gives structure across the shoulders, and two generous patch pockets sit low at the front. The sleeves are cut straight with broad cuff bands and small side splits, giving the jacket its distinctive relaxed finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTry it with burgundy trousers and a pale pink knit, or wear it over a turquoise shirt with dark denim and loafers. For something a little brighter, add a mustard scarf and cherry red bag. This shape works well if you like a jacket that falls straight from the shoulders rather than pulling in at the waist. There is room through the bust, waist and hips for layering, while the collar and shoulder seams give the upper body enough structure to stop the relaxed cut feeling oversized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKeen to try on?
