I don’t know what it’s called, but I saw a Japanese fellow wearing a jacket which didn’t zip straight up and down. It was quite unusual and it really caught my eye, I’d love to get my hands on one.

It’s an asymmetric style. [Here](http://www.oaknyc.com/men/sweatshirts/shades-grey-zip-hood) is a similar one, but it isn’t as cool as your pic.
