I love my new Katherine blazer! The material is more substantial and heavier than I expected. It hangs very nicely and moves well. It hangs particularly well when draped over the shoulders. With the weight and unlined knit fabric it stays in place so you don’t feel like you have to catch your jacket sliding off your shoulders. It’s very comfortable. I would say it runs true to size. I’m usually between a 2 and 4, and I bought the 4 for room to layer sweaters underneath. I probably would be fine in the 2 also if I wanted it more fitted. It fits well across the bust (32D) and can button easily without any pulling. I have full arm movement without pulling across the back. The quality definitely measured up to the hype. I bought the navy, and it’s the perfect shade. There’s one detail to note on the website image of the interior of the blazer. The white wide ribbon tape trim that you see on the part folded back is actually an exterior back vent trim detail. With the benefit of hindsight the image makes that clear. If you put your hands in your pockets it makes the back vent pull open and the white trim detail becomes visible then. I’ve been stalking this jacket for a couple of years, and I’m glad I finally decided to go for it. I feel very polished when I wear it. It arrived quickly, well packaged and on a hanger, which impressed me. Customer service is responsive to questions, and the clothing quality is top notch. Worth every penny! Now I have my eye on a couple more pieces… Please keep the fun styling inspiration coming!
