P&L Men's Sport Coat Classic Fit Blazer for Men Lightweight 2 Button Stretch Jacket in Solid & Plaid for Business & Casual

I am VERY difficult to fit, I need somewhere over a size 56 suit to fit my chest and shoulders, I wear roughly size 36 pants and have long arms, typically wear shirts with 38-39" sleeves. I have always had to get jackets/suits custom or semi-custom (Nordstrom made to order) made at many times the price of this. Most recently I tried a major chain "separates" and it took 14 fittings/alteration sessions before it looked OK. I typically need a 12-14 size drop between the top and bottom of my suits, the biggest normal athletic cut drop is usually about 8.I needed something for an event on short notice, and was in the position that "something has to work out or I'm going without a jacket." Well, I decided I'll try ordering a couple of jackets off Amazon that were advertised as being made of stretchy fabric and order them on the smallish side of what usually fits me and see if I can get something close enough to wear. I ordered a 56-tall.It turned out to be next to perfect. The little bit of stretch made up for where jackets normally pull or don't fit and also let it lay flat over my chest and upper back where I often need many alterations before it works out, the tall was just long enough to look good, the cuffs were in the correct location, and the bottom of the suit was not overly large (note if you need the size in the waist I wouldn't be surprised if you might need to size up from what you normally wear). It had a very good, traditional fit, not quite the overly fitted look that has been in style recently. Best of all, and besides fit my next biggest worry and biggest surprise, it didn't look cheap at all. It actually looked very similar to a wool jacket/slacks I had made at Nordstrom that cost right around $1200. The pattern in the fabric has enough hints of different colors that it looks good with multiple different trousers and ties, it ends up making it very flexible, I found 2 pairs of trousers in my closet that were completely different colors that looked good with it, it would also look good with a pair of jeans if that's a look you go for.The cons (none of which are enough to take any stars off):- It came folded in a bag, which meant it was wrinkled when I pulled it out. I let it hang for a day on a proper oversized suit hanger and it didn't change. You're not going to pull it out of the packaging and just put it on and wear it to an event and look sharp. In reality, this worked out as a positive, I took the time to steam the wrinkles out and specifically to my shape, making it fit pretty close to how it would if it was custom-tailored.- I'm not sure if the outside pockets are tacked shut or false pockets. The flap was clearly tacked shut like most jackets come which I cut open, but the pockets are too well sewn to seem tacked shut. Since I needed it for the next day when I noticed I wasn't about to risk trying it since you couldn't tell with it on.

Can NOT believe the quality of this blazer for the price. It's fits well and looks great. I'm 6 ft and broad shouldered and I was impressed with the fit. Maybe I got lucky. It's worth a try as you can return if it doesn't fit.

Very nice jacket. Good quality. Inside the jacket has a lot of pockets. Sizing chart is off. Customer service is very good to work with. Will definitely be ordering another. If the sizing was accurate, would be giving it a 5 star.

My husband and two sons needed a dressy black sports coat, so I bought 3 of these. The look and feel of the material are amazing. These coats also fit perfectly and look very high quality. It can be used for formal occasions but would also look great dressed down with jeans. Love it!

The jacket was an excellent fit. It was fully lined and neatly sewn. Good quality for the price. It came folded and packaged for delivery as expected, so had to be sent out for pressing. But, it was worth the extra few dollars for a sharp looking garment.

Good quality for the price. Fit is accurate. Fabric is a magnet for pet hair. Most important: contradicting some claims in the reviews, the exterior pockets are cosmetic only. Carefully opening the seam just reveals the lining; there’s no pocket structure. I’m returning this and shopping for a similar product with pockets.

My husband loves it and it fits perfect! 5'10", #240
