Not tall-sized. Bought it anyway. Zero regrets. Hear me out — this oversized utility linen jacket from Banana Republic has a cropped sleeve, and it’s intentional. That detail alone changes everything. You know how a pushed-up sleeve on an oversized jacket completely shifts the shape of an outfit? Creates a focal point, adds definition, breaks up the silhouette? That’s exactly what this does — just built right in. I’m 6’3”, 36” inseam, almost 40, and I sized down to a small (I’m usually a medium in jackets — the model wears an XS for reference, it runs very oversized). Why I justified the non-tall-sized purchase: 100% linen. Double closure — button AND zip — so you can wear it fully open, zip it all the way, or just fasten the top button. Three completely different looks, one jacket. If you’re tall with a straighter frame like me, the tie waist lets you cinch the waist and create shape where there isn’t naturally a ton of it. This isn’t a trendy piece — it’s the kind of thing that stays in your closet for years. Workwear, spring errands, summer office with the AC blasting — it just works. 🔗 Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the link directly. — Would you buy something that wasn’t tall-sized if the fit still worked?
