Blazer fit check
👖Fit check
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some honest feedback on this blazer I just bought for €475.
I’m looking for something high quality that I can wear casually with jeans/trousers, but that also works for formal events. It is extremely comfortable, but I'm worried it looks too "boxy" right now.
The store's advice:
The staff told me the shoulders are the correct size for my frame. They suggested that with tailoring to shorten the sleeves and take in the waist, it will be perfect.
My concerns:
1-The Shoulders: Do they look too wide/structured for a casual look, or do they actually fit my natural shoulder line?
2-The Length: Is the jacket too long to be worn with jeans?
3-The "Bagginess": Can a tailor truly fix the excess fabric in the back and under the arms without ruining the proportions?
4-Value: At this price point, should I stick with this and spend another on tailoring, or should I return it and look for something Made-to-Measure?
I really don't want to settle for "okay" given the price. Any advice on the fit is appreciated!
