Just got this blazer-- keep or return?


I think this looks fine. Could use minor tailoring, as another member mentioned. Who makes it? Also, needs diff shirt underneath (or at least diff collar shape), obviously.

Shoulders are awful and they don't fit well. I vote no

I like the pagoda shoulder, just doesn't work on non-interesting non-ccp fabric and cut is mundane.

Thanks erryone for the comments. It's a Margiela blazer from Yoox. I was iffy on shoulders 'cause they're so insanely padded. Will likely be returning it, but I'll keep it around for a few days just in case I change my mind.

Wondering if it might even be possible to go down one size. Hard to see your shoulder outline, but appears you might be able to. If so, would also maybe tone down pagoda-ness.
