Slade Ponte Blazer

Been eyeing this blazer for awhile as it seems to have a cult following. Other colors have reviews so spent some time combing through those to determine what size I needed. Many mentioned it ran small but was stretchy. I’m normally a 8, wanted to order a 10 but it never came available. So an 8 it was. Bottom line, it fits but is snug. But I expected that since the description says it. The material is made for this; very dense and heavy ponte that has a decent amount of stretch while keeping its shape. No back vent. Sleeves are plenty long, great for me since I’m 5’9”. But I’m limited to only wearing a tank or thin t under this blazer. I’m ok with that but I wish I had a 10 to try on and compare. I’ll leave the tags on for awhile just in case a 10 shows up. Last comment is on price. 495 is steep but other brands are more and some are less so price is relative. Compared to Veronica Beard, I feel like this price is a good deal.

It’s the classic Slade blazer but it does not have the gold buttons as advertised. I’m returning it.

I love this blazer, and have another of the same silhouette. But to pay this price and have the garment arrive with pale silver buttons just threw me. I started a search for appropriate replacements until I realized that it was not my responsibility to make this right. Don't invest in this item unless don't mind having unattractive bright metal buttons on this very nice jacket.

Beautiful jacket. However, the picture shows black/dark gray buttons; when the jacket arrived it had bright silver buttons which made this piece less versatile and for the price, I need maximum versatility

I have the slade blazer in the wool, the ICON fabrication, and now the ponte. The camel ponte is a beautiful color. I like the stretch in the ponte. I do wish camel color came in wool as that would be my preference. It does run small as others have stated. I’m a 34DDD and sized up to a 10. It can be buttoned but it’s tight. The stretch helps. The sleeves are long as I expected since I had to have the sleeves altered in the other two that I have. This is a great grab and go piece. It isn’t lined but the interior seams are finished with a piping so they aren’t exposed. None of the slade blazers I have are lined (wool, ICONS, and ponte) and it doesn’t bother me at all. They are meant to be unlined.

I like very much the Wool Slade Blazer !! I bought 3 of them in the past . I am looking for same style so I can wear it during the Spring or summer, but in a ( different Fabric ) and light color like beige or white ) and make it easy if not Dry clean!!
