Chums | Mens | Blazer Single Breasted Short Fitting Jacket Tailored |

Good fit, but you need to remember that (like a lot of Chums clothing) the size is very generous. I normally take a size 42" chest jacket but needed to order size 40" chest from Chums to get the right fit. Being able to order a short fitting helped me to get a good fit otherwise.Some people dislike synthetic fabrics but personally, I love the fact that this is 100% polyester. Resists creasing, cool to wear, easy to wash / clean, keeps it shape, and is hard-wearing. What's not to like? The only thing with synthetic fabrics, they haven't got much 'give', so they have GOT to fit properly, and luckily for me, this blazer does, spot-on.This jacket come with some rather nasty, cheap-looking brass buttons which weren't even sewn on the right way up (they have a crest embossed on them, so this matters). However I changed them for some plain ones and the jacket, despite its low price, now looks good and was ideal to wear on a recent cruise.

A very good and versatile jacket.I bought this specifically due its cheap polyester material.I wanted something that one could wear whilst in travel / driving so that the creases did not show up other end of a long flight / journey.However please be warned that you will need to do some after purchase patch up.Firstly the buttons, though impressive in nature have been sown on in all manner of directions - the placing is correct but you may need to adjust to get the emblems up the right way and to be in uniform. Alternatively you could just replace them with standard plain ones.Secondly these jackets are larger than the standard sizes - they are roomy around the chest and hips, plus and a big plus - you will need have those shoulders looked at. They will need bringing in.The Navy colour is a slightly darker than expected - though this is just me being a bit critical.However taking all the above into consideration and then factoring in purchase price I can honestly say that they are worth it.By the time you have given it to a tailor to make all the adjustment you should end up with a nice fitting almost tailored jacket with change to spare

This jacket is a perfect fit for me, I'm 6ft 44 chest regular fit.. The gold buttons look great. I've looked everywhere for a summer jacket and this is perfect! Be observant when I ordered, I ordered a regular fit, but when the confirmation came through it said "short fitting" so I got ready to return it, but when it arrived it was correct. Must be a gremlin! Well made and would have cost double on the high street IMHO.

Blazer fitted my husband perfectly as he has short arms but a fuller waist. Not very often he can find a jacket that fits without anything needed to be done. Only thing that is at fault is that the front buttons are upside down and will need to be resown. This appears to be a fault that others have mentioned.

For a budget priced blazer this garment is good value and it looks smart. I noticed from a few other reviews people have found the sizing to be on the large side but to the contrary I found the size smaller than expected. I have a 43 inch chest and normally find a 44 fits comfortably but I had to change the 44 to a 46.

I use blazers for work but it is getting harder to get reasonably priced black blazers that fit. This was excellent in terms of good quality and value for money. I am pleased.

Great quality blazer. Perfect fit and would recommend. I looked everywhere for a good black blazer and very glad I found this quality blazer at such a excellent price.

I bought it for an RAF reunion, sewed my badge on and it was perfect. Its lightweight and hard to crease, it will be used a few times a year. You can easily tell the difference between this and a £250 blazer so if your looking to impress, you get what you pay for.
