Italian Wool Checked Double Breasted Blazer

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.

I thought the material was a bit rough but it is a cheap jacket. I am normally an 8 but this was too big and maybe that’s why it didn’t look great, my partner thought the same, he has quite good choice. I thought age groups had been removed but I now see if you scroll down far enough you can insert them. Without the age of reviewers they’d are useless. I only read reviews of much younger people.

It was a third attempt, ok but not great. It will be useful for general use.

I loved this blazer when I saw it however it is such poor quality. I have worn it for the first time this morning and it has been on for 45 minutes whilst I drove to work. Arriving at work I was shocked to see the crumpled state of the blazer....it has crumpled and creased to such an extent it looks like linen does after a day's wear. It looks scruffy and the material is very poor quality. Its such a pity as it looks so nice off. I just wish I had not worn this as I would have returned it and ordered a jacket from a competitor which, whilst more expensive, is better quality and looks good all day.

Loved the colours in this jacket and the length. Very versatile for work or casual.

Absolutely love my new wool jacket, looks fabulous with jeans or tailored trousers, Excellent quality,and well made.

I bought this item in store. The fit is nice, I’m usually a 10 I got a size 10 and it’s slightly oversized so I can wear over a jumper . Warm enough for autumn going into winter. I’m planning to wear this to work and also dress down with jeans. The quality of this jackets is lovely!

I got this blazer in the King's Road shop in London and fits beautifully! A smart blazer in a lovely fabric that can be dressed down or up.

I tried this jacket as the other option within the M&S Collection was of poor quality material, and fit. This one is a much nicer fabric, and fits better. However, it is described as 'Black Mix' and this is what I was looking to purchase. However, do not consider this if you are wanting a black mix jacket. From a distance, it comes across as brown! Close up it has purple and turquoise lines in the check pattern. Totally incorrect colour description and very misleading.
