Italian Wool Checked Double Breasted Blazer

Wanted to go with matching trousers this was a good fit and looked smart but had to go back as trousers were too small on waist and next size up too big!

I liked this blazer but unfortunately it didn't fit me very well. It was too baggy at the front towards the sides near the sleeves and the top of the sleeves were a bit tight. I don't think a smaller size would have been any help - the design just wasn't suitable for me. Pity, but I will be returning it.

Very stylish blazer. The check colours mean that you can team it with lots of options. denim, black or tan. Feels expensive.

A lovely jacket with several colours in check meaning versatile. Unfortunately 16 too big and 14 too small.

Just love this jacket. Lovely fit and well made. Looks great dressed up or down. Brilliant bargain in the sale too. A winner as far as I'm concerned.

Nice jacket but didnt suit me so sadly sent back. Ordered the ochre corduroy jacket instead. Love it and love fit Chunkier cord which I love. Could do with another one if they did in a moss or tobacco colour.

Very pleased with jacket but disappointed 4 days later there was a reduction, felt seen off.

it said in the details that it was black mix but it is not, its brown. so returned it as it was not what i wanted and it was nothing special.

Very rough fabric, the sleeve lining on both sleeves was too short therefore the sleeves didnt fall correctly

I had a double breasted checked wool blazer from M&S almost identical to this one in the ‘90’s, I absolutely loved it wore it for years and eventually grew out of it, size wise sadly. When I wanted to buy a replacement there was nothing in the shops remotely like it. Then this year there’s been a bit of a retro 80’s/90’s trend and this gorgeous jacket appeared, I had to have it. Firstly, I’ll describe the colour, it’s got black, tan, cream, Ivory, maroon and blue yarns weaved in it with black buttons. It’s lovely as the pattern is small so the colours are quite subtle aside from the rather nice blue lines running through it, so will look great with lots of other colours. (Please see my close up photo). The lining is a camel shade with a maroon edge trim. The shape is 90’s boxy so is a looser cut with the buttons set lower than single breast jackets. It feels nicely tweedy and looks well made. But I’ve noticed on mine when I do the buttons up the button on the front doesn’t sit well if I don’t pull the whole jacket forwards, this suggests the button isn’t on quite where it should be, so I will probably adjust it so it sits perfectly, though it’s not obvious, but I am probably OTT about these things, oh and though it’s described as ‘Italian Wool’ on the label inside it’s only 11% wool, must be a sheep shortage in Italy then? However, it does feel ‘tweedy’ but I suspect it would be not very warm on a cold day, so it’s a good thing it’s looser cut for layering. I purchased my normal size and I think it’s true to size.
