Unstructured

Removing the canvas from an otherwise standard looking sport coat has many advantages. At first, the coat becomes lighter; about 20% lighter in fact.

It can still be dressed up with a tie and pair of trousers, but ultimately looks better with jeans than the structured version of itself.
