Jacket? Vintage Pants? Joe Fresh (can't find them online and they are quite awesome)
When I first saw this plaid knit goodness, I thought it was a blanket. Then I picked it up and judged it by the size and assumed it was a poncho. I saw that there was a split in the middle with an edge stitch and thought maybe this was a botched attempt at fixing a ripped poncho. This really makes no sense when I think about it but that is what flitted through my brain for a second there.
Finally I realized it was a sort of shawl and put it on properly. To give it some shape, I first looped the belt around the front and let the back free but then I thought if I looped the belt around the back of the shawl, it would look like a jacket from the back. I was really impressed with my own ingenuity. Until a few hours later when I noticed there was a button and a loop on the back pieces and I was wearing it exactly how it was meant to be worn. I am not such a trailblazer after all...
Other things I am not?

Your poncho is fantastic, so colorful and cozy! Belting is was the perfect idea to make it super chic!

That poncho blanket shawl is the most awesome thing ever and I want your legs still, you hot ass woman.
I'm with you on loving ponchos this time of the year, even if they aren't necessarily considered the most fashionable items. Love the blue coloring of yours. - Katy
I have bought that type of split poncho in Mexico before. I didn't think to belt it like that...mine didn't have a button and loop to clue me in either. :o)
