If Oscar Wilde were with us today, we’d suspect that this jacket would be his top choice for a decadent Christmas party. It’s very rare to see a men’s suede jacket in such a lustrous, deep, verdant green, while the black leather diamond cut outs add just the right amount of flamboyance without going over the top. This is how to be bold but not tacky.
