Style on Trial: Libertine feather-sleeve jacket

feathered sleeve jacket Style on Trial: Libertine feather sleeve jacketWe know many of our readers are big fans of feathered fashion, but what do you think of this Libertine jacket, we wonder?

We think it would be a bit like walking around clutching a couple of big, feathery pom poms all the time, like some kind of half businesswoman/half showgirl hybrid. And about the “businesswoman” bit: there’s a strange disconnect here between the all-business look of the tailored suit jacket and the extravagant, feathery sleeves. Who would wear an item like this? A lawyer who likes to make her closing arguments real show-stoppers? A company executive just desperate to let her colleagues see her “fun” side. You, perhaps?

Tell us, then: would you wear this jacket, and if so, where would you wear it? And would you be willing to pay $2,693 for it?

  1. i was scrolling down slowly, saw the top part of the jacket, started thinking, “there’s nothing wrong with that”, then BAM! feathers. There is a total disconnect between the jacket and sleeves. I don’t get it.

  2. Plus, it’s all frayed along the bottom, and I think that’s a big bunch of threads hanging down from the sleeve. So you’d not only be wearing a strange overpriced blazer, but a raggedy strange overpriced blazer.

  3. if it was a one button, more tuxedo style, would have a much sexier look.. I like it, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark completely.. never have been able to cope with unfinished hems.
