Partially lined blazer

[zty_07]

I got a partially lined blazer from YOOX. The brand is Royal Hem. It looks very nice on me. However, I can see the lining from the inner sides of the blazer. Also, I can see the padding from the shoulders.
I just want to know is this normal for a partially lined blazer?
Thanks.

3rd picture is the chest and 4th is the shoulder. The white is the inner lining. Is this normal?Thanks.

What's lined ? The sleeves? The white you posted isn't the lining it's the canvas/padding.

Are the interior seams ripped? Coming apart? If not don't worry .

Those pics don't make no sense.

The seam seems fine. I just wonder is it normal to see the padding and canvass of the blazer? The sleeves are lined.

I'm not a tailoring expert, but I have numerous unlined and partially lined blazers from all across the price spectrum: from Theory, Oxxford, Isaia, Corneliani, etc. Not one of them exhibits what you are showing.

I would consider that a defect, even if intentional by the manufacturer.

I have seen this type of opening on unstructured jackets before. I wouldn't worry about it, unless you see loose threads suggesting it is falling apart.

Can anyone tell me is this normal? I can see the padding and canvas of the jacket from the inside. It does not look like ripped.

I don't KNOW, but I THINK it's not normal. Take it to a competent tailor and see what he says.

Thanks a lot. I believe it is a defect item. Last time I got an EA blazer which is also a defect item. It was so dirty and the buttons feel sticky. Yoox does not have good quality control.

YOOX says they will check the quality of this item. Thanks for all your help.

I'm going to retract my previous statement - I saw an unlined and unstructured Zegna blazer this past weekend where it looked like this. However, since it was totally unstructured - no padding at all - it didn't look like a "mistake" to the untrained eye. I could see where if it did have had padding it would have appeared very unfinished, but it wouldn't have been.

I think I'd worry that the padding not being closed in would give it more opportunity to shift or be damaged somehow, but I bet the real tailors among us would tell me I have nothing to worry about. I'll also note that on some of my partial lined jackets, that when donning I occasionally "miss" the armhole in such a way that my arm goes down the sleeve, but outside the lining - when that happens and I worry that I'll pull/damage lining - in this situation, I'd hate to "miss" and put my arm through the shoulder.

I'm necro'ing to update my previous post. In the years since then, I've read about some high end manufacturers doing this intentionally - having an opening in the inside of jacket - so that the owner can be assured that it is a canvassed interior. It's supposedly big in japan.
