Anyone see any issue with this?

I have been looking for a navy blue blazer for some time and this looks like it might be a winner. I am hesitant to buy something like this on ebay...so thought someone on here may have thoughts. Thanks in advance

I didn't look too closely but seems alright.
The price is quite full so I would think it not a fake but it is also not my money.

Looks fine to me.

I have an Isia Blazer in the previous Stuart model.
Cut is more generous than Base S and shoulders
more " natural" . It's fairly light weight and practically
crease-proof. Overall, an excellent jacket.

It's the real deal and a very recent model - the short length is a dead giveaway to some tweaks they made to this silhouette in the last year or so. At first I thought it was a short, but then looked at the tag. Older models would have been 31.5" or 32.5-ish long from BOC.

Note that even though it is a two button, the stance will be a bit higher on the top one than a standard 2-button cut.

If you are ready to make an investment in a rock solid staple, you probably won't be able to do much better. I have an earlier, 3-button version of this in a 140s aquaspider that I bought years ago for about the same price and have never thought twice about spending the cash.

thank you very much for your thoughtful responses. I am leaning toward it. I am deciding between it and the link below. Any feedback is very much appreciated.

I am looking more for a lighter spring/summer blazer as I have a heavy wool jacket for colder weather

It's your money, but that second rig is not in the same realm as the Isaia either construction- or style-wise. Between the skinny lapels, the angled pockets, and the Thom Browne length, you're looking at something that is speeding towards the "dated" pile....

Not sure why you think it's heavy - the fabric looks more like a fine grade hopsack. I'd ask the seller if it is more of a three season jacket or a year rounder..

Good luck!

Your first choice is very recent.
I picked up one on EBay (and it is a Hopsack fabric) which I did not particularly care for.
Beautifully cut - unfortunately the Seller had supressed the waist and taken in the Chest so it measured more like a 50 than the stated 54.
A good staple choice. If the measurements works - go for it.

well..if that is the case then there is no way it will fit me as I am a 44/44L. My decision may have been made for me. Thanks!
