Object | Band of Outsiders - Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket

Well, it seems like summer is already over. Had a discussion about that with a friend recently; it's all gone so fast. The sun might be shining outside at the moment, but there's no use in denying that fall is approaching. Might as well embrace it, make the best out of it and start searching for some decent fall outerwear. South Willard is already one step ahead of you on that one though as they've picked up what might be one of the most essential pieces of the upcoming season; this plaid Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket from Band of Outsiders.

This might very well be the ultimate transitional piece: You can wear it righ now on chilly evenings, come fall you can use it as a jacket and later on it might be worn as a layer under a winter jacket. The outer is 100% flannel in a buffalo-esque red/navy check, with a quilted inner lining. Slim, darted fit typical for Band of Outsiders, two chest pockets plus two diagonal ones.

The only problem with this piece is that I'm not a huge fan of the Band of Outsiders-fit. For me the fit is too boxy, something that isn't exactly improved by the relatively high gussets. Am I insane for considering this one, even though I know I'll hate the fit? Still, if you don't have the kind of body-issues I have, then this shold definitely be on your list.
