Sport jacket - keep?
I’ve just got this cashmere sport jacket for 15€. It needs multiple repairs, like replacing sleeve lining, small fix of body lining, but the outer fabric is without defects. I bought it because I liked the pattern and was curious about the cashmere. It’s very soft and quite light.
What I didn’t realize from the pictures, and I don’t really like is that it has strongly structured shoulders. I feel like the extended shoulder pad construction is intentional (as the jacket is my size and seems to fit me otherwise), but I’m not sure. They go past my shoulder line, as it’s probably visible in the first picture.
I’m wondering if I should keep the jacket and invest in the repair, dry clean cost or or donate/sell it. How do you think it fits with the current shoulders? Would it mess up the fit if I had the pads removed? How is the fit in general in your opinion?
