cotton nylon blend (60/40) feel and sheen?

what does this kind of blend feel like in the hand? it's hard to tell from the photos, but does it have any of the shine you would see in the traditional nylon windbreaker material? would the material read as outdoor-adjacent even though the design isn't?

its got a lil sheen to it, i found the fabric felt somewhere between ok and good you can go outdoor with it if you want sure. its a piece taking lots of inspo from lemaire so look at them for ideas maybe

so it's not super shiny then? I had to return the uu blouson because the sheen was too much for me, I don't know maybe I'm OCD

fair enough, draping/wrinkling does look kind of less than ideal what pants are those btw?
