I bought this jacket because I wanted one that could also be a vest, but I haven't worn it much because it doesn't match my other clothes. The waist and hem can be cinched, and it seems like there are many ways to style it depending on how you button it. I haven't worn it much, so I don't see any noticeable scratches or stains, but please understand that it's been stored by an amateur. Thank you. The sleeves are detachable with buttons, not zippers.
