Please Critique My Blazer

[Newcomer]

All in all, I really like it. The high gorge and button stance may make it a little on the fashion forward side, but I think it suits you well. I also really like the open quarters of the blazer. I don't see a problem with the buttons personally--they are interesting, and reflect your personal style. Kudos.

 

[Redwoood]

very nice.
Personally, I'd lower the button stance a tad, but it's not a huge deal, and you seem to be pulling it off quite nicely. well done.

 

[GloStiX]

Absolutely awesome!

 

[NotoriousMarquis]

Uhhhhh this blazer is gorgeous. How much was it?

 

[Bull]

My blazer has silver buttons and I think it's a nice touch - don't change a thing.

 

[bellyhungry]

Blazer fits well - nicely done.

As for overall look, I would swap out the pocket square for a white linen one, and wear a narrower tie. But that is just me.

 

[Gus]

Excellent overall. The one thing I would change would be less shiny silver buttons, maybe something with a pattern with more of a pewter effect but that is a minor personal preference.

 

[CMJTperry]

Really nice!

Actually I have a question - why is the jacket body lined with (what is traditionally) sleeve lining? Interesting styling choice.

Funny thing is, the typical critics who come out in droves havent shown up yet to compliment a great fit. One of the mysteries of SF!!

OP - also nice of you to freely share your tailor information. You are a good sartorialist. Btw, was this your first commission from the tailor, and how much input did you have in the process?

They're dumbstruck by the sublimity of it all. As I've been.

Just because I like the color and the pattern of it, and thought It could be well harmonized with the fabric

thanks to my My tailor said that there're no functional problem to use it as torso lining.

It costs KRW1200K. and I am a regular customer of him. First visit was about 2 yr ago and have ordered 1 suit, 2 coat, 5 odd jacket, 1 pants. I'm satisfied with his work.

Nice, not my thing but definitely well done! I can't think of a single definite objective improvement! Bravo! Also, bowtielover wtf, how is this extravagant? Is it the silver buttons?

You have good taste, IMO, even if I wouldn't wear that jacket (I'm an ultra-trend guy), you'd be surprised how many options are ignored purely because they're not the common choice. This can happen even on SF (except here it's more along the lines of prejudice rather than ignorance, a la the shorts hating threads that occasionally pop up).

BillyMaysHere!, that is an awesome sig.

I asked because I tend to find that sleeve linings are more delicate than body linings (think about which lining you find torn most often in thrifts - IME the sleeves), and typically lighter as well.

 

[emptym]

Very nice. I like the buttons as they are too.

I have no idea whether or not the different linings have different thickness/toughness, but given the much higher stress sleeves are subjected to, it's not surprising they wear out faster.
If anything, this would argue in favour of making them less delicate, not more.
