Women's Maroon Waxed Leather Two-Button Blazer Jacket

I wore this on the flight out to save space in my case, which is the whole reason I bought something this packable in the first place. It went through two airports, a five hour flight and straight to dinner without looking like it had been anywhere. It gave properly after about a fortnight of wear before the trip. Four months on and it's had a lot of use with nothing to show for it.

It dresses up jeans enough that I can go from the school gates to parents evening without changing, which is the entire reason it lives by the door. Comfortable once it settled, which took about ten days. Fits my normal size with room for a top underneath.

I bought this for my daughter's wedding as an alternative to the whole formal outfit thing and I have absolutely no regrets. It looked right in the photos and I could actually sit through the meal in it. Its been out plenty since which is more than I can say for what I'd have spent otherwise.

I canvassed through a local election in this, which meant six weeks of standing on doorsteps in variable weather. It handled all of it. It looks credible when someone opens a door to you and it's warm enough zipped over a jumper. There was a firm fortnight before it relaxed. Four months on and the only wear is at the cuffs where I push them, which I don't mind at all.

I asked before ordering whether it would relax at all because I'd read it might be stiff, and someone came back honestly saying yes and to expect a couple of weeks. That's the right answer rather than telling me what I wanted to hear. It was exactly that. Six months on it's completely broken in and comfortable through full days, and nothing has come loose at any seam.

The lining is a little slippery over a silk top and it shifts about more than I'd like. Over anything with texture it's fine. Not enough to send it back and I've worn it plenty. Just something nobody mentions. The fit itself is correct and it broke in within two weeks.

Its comfortable enough that I've stopped taking it off at my desk, which never happens with anything structured. Nothing digs in at the shoulder and it doesn't bunch behind me in a chair. Fits my normal size and softened after about ten days.

Bought this for my wife and she likes it a great deal, though she says it took a fortnight before it stopped feeling rigid and she wasn't warned about that. Once past it she's worn it constantly. Fit her on her normal size so no exchange. Arrived on the day quoted.
