Scuba Knit Jacket

Normally I would not spend so much on a blazer but I needed something where I could sleep in my clothes and still look elegant and unwrinkled. I have the VB kennedy jacket and two dickeys so this made sense. The blazer is beautifully constructed. The low stance, single button is elegant, the tonal snaps and zips give wonderful shape, and edge without being obtrusive. The sleeves do run long but this is my preferred length, but due to the working snaps they look problematic to alter so be warned. I usually have a poison eye for unlined jackets but the front panels and sleeves are lined and the interior is beautifully finished. The bottom line is this jacket is so comfortable and elegant. It's the definition of polished. The neoprene is not like spring suit material, more like a heavy crepe with a smooth and satin finish. It looks elegant. Bonus, it's a true 4 seasons fabric. I'm so delighted that I will be trying the pants/leggings on soon to see if I can make it a suit. Sizing runs small. I'm 5'3" 115. I usually take a 4-6, in designers Vince and Helmut Lang 6, my Theory and Smythe jacket size is an 8. I took a size 8 and it fits perfectly. I do like my blazers slightly roomy, I want to be able to snap it closed and have it hang straight without pulling. If you want a more fitted look take your usual size. But bottom line..... love, well worth the hefty price tag!! Highly recommended.
