I ordered this blazer in the charcoal color initially and was pleasantly surprised at the quality so I ended up buying a second one in blue. The jacket is very well made and the fit is very good. The lining is very impressive compared to other similarly priced jackets on Amazon that I've seen. As a wool blend jacket, this is not going to be worn in the summer months, but for cooler temperatures, its perfect. As I stated, the fit is very comparable to standard American jacket sizing, so no problems there. The only issue was that the shoulders seemed to have a little bit of an odd shape to them. However, its not something I am bothered by or will even notice when I'm wearing it. With the amount of wool in the fabric, it does tend to have a "fuzzy" texture, almost like a fleece material, the charcoal more so than the blue one. The pockets on the outside do come sewn shut to keep the jacket in pristine shape. This is common and only need to be carefully picked open. I have seen other reviewers mistakenly state that the pockets are fake. Not so. I have been so pleased with this jacket for the price that it elicited a review from me, which I rarely do. Very happy with the purchase.
