Women's Notch Lapel Belted Black Leather Blazer

Long time customer, this is my fifth piece from them and the first blazer. I already trusted the sizing so I ordered without much thought and it fit the way I expected it to. What I did not expect is how much more formal this reads than the others I own. It has replaced an actual suit jacket for client meetings and nobody has commented.

The thing I keep coming back to is the finishing. The buttonhole is stitched tight and clean, the belt loops are anchored properly, the pocket flaps lie flat instead of poking out at the sides. Those are the bits that usually give away a cheaper jacket and none of them do it here. Fit is close through the arm and generous enough at the hip.

Customer service deserves a mention here. I asked about the belt length before ordering because I am on the smaller side and they went and measured one for me. It does have enough holes, which was the answer I needed to hear.

Honestly a mixed review but mostly good. The jacket is beautifully cut and I get comments every single time I wear it. The single button does put strain on one point and I can see a slight stretch in the leather there after a few months. Not enough to regret buying it, but I keep it open more often now, which luckily looks fine too.

Ordered a size down from what I usually take after reading the measurements properly and that turned out to be right. Do measure yourself. The shoulders are the part that has to fit, since everything else can be adjusted with the belt anyway.

I have narrow shoulders and blazers usually hang off me. This one does not. The seam sits where my shoulder actually ends and that alone made it worth ordering. Sleeves needed a half inch taken up, but that is me being 5 foot 2.

Runs a little generous through the waist, which the belt fixes entirely. The sleeves ended right at my wrist bone with no alteration needed, which honestly never happens with blazers on me.

I needed something for interviews that was not a suit jacket and not obviously a leather jacket either. This walks the line. Buttoned and belted it looks tailored, and I have worn it open over a dress on weekends without it looking like work clothes.
