After watching a documentary one evening on the Middle Ages in Burgundy, inspiration struck from the amazing costumes the male actors were wearing. The tunics were fantastic back then with their puffy sleeves and interesting neck lines. This cropped jacket takes its cue from those costumes translating it to our time with its short length, offset closure, and simple fabric.
