AMY ZHUMen's Sport Coat Classic Fit Stretch Blazer 2 Button Suit Jacket

I wasn't sure about this but it's a pleasant surprise. Very nice quality for a great price.
I'll begin with something I almost never see in these Amazon reviews, my size, the size I bought, and why I wanted a blazer in the first place. Then I'll tell you about the jacket.So, I'm 6'0" tall and 203 lbs with a 44" chest, 34" waist, and I wear a 34/35 inch sleeve in a dress shirt. I'm fairly muscular with no belly fat. Hopefully that information will help you decide if something that fits me will fit you or you need to size up or down.I bought the 42R based on the size chart. And I bought the lighter weight polyester/rayon/spandex version rather than the polyester/wool version. I wanted something versatile for spring, summer, fall, not winter. It's always a concern when ordering clothing based on a manufacturer's size chart. Rest assured, these guys nailed it. The 42R was a perfect fit for me. I have no reason to take this to a tailor. The chest fits with just enough room to move without restriction and the jacket falls into place easily. It's tapered from the shoulders to the chest to the waist but not drastically. It's not a "skinny" jacket, it's a clean classic profile, not baggy, not super tight. When buttoned, there is zero tugging or pulling on the buttons. The sleeve length is also perfect. It leaves about 1/2" of cuff showing on a white dress shirt with a 34/35 sleeve. As far as the overall length, the back reaches about midway on my butt and the front is about midway on my fly. So it's the proper length for a good fitting jacket. The shoulders have slight padding for some structure and a fit look. The arms are cut slightly close fitting and have high armpits. The result is an athletic look. So, if you're close to my size, a 42R should be a good fit.Next up, why did I want a black blazer? A blazer by definition is supposed to be a little less formal and more versatile than a suit. I wanted it specifically to pair up with black jeans and black cowboy boots with a white shirt. But it can also work with black or gray wool dress pants or white jeans. That's fairly versatile whether you're trying to dress down from a suit at work or trying to dress up a pair of jeans on a Friday night. It'll also work with a dress shirt, polo, a lightweight sweater, maybe even a nice t-shirt.Lastly, what about the look and feel? Well, it's really nice. But be aware, the fabric is not slick and smooth like a wool suit jacket. The fabric weave is more coarse. Up close you can see a texture in the fabric. That's actually what a blazer is supposed to be. Something less formal than a suit jacket. And like I said I want to wear this with black jeans and boots so it's a perfect match as far as I'm concerned. I just wanted to warn those of you who may be expecting a suit jacket equivalent. Despite the heavier texture, it falls properly and looks very nice. As for the polyester, rayon, spandex construction, I was a little concerned that it was gonna have a shiny, synthetic look and feel. Don't worry, there's no shine and it doesn't feel or move like a cheap synthetic. It looks high quality. In the course of looking for this blazer I also checked out some designer brands YSL, Ralph Lauren, etc. I was surprised to learn that they have all pretty much gone to the same polyester/rayon/spandex fabric in some combination. I guess the 3 season versatility and wrinkle resistance along with stain resistance is pushing traditional wool out of the market. At any rate after seeing this jacket up close, I'm fine with the look and feel.As for the construction and styling, I'd have a hard time finding something to criticize. It's a classic look and fit that's a bit on the form fitting side. 2 outside flap pockets and a breast pocket that are finished as well as any designer jacket I own. The buttons are a silver/gray metal rather than the typical brass but I actually like that. The collar is felt lined like any good dress jacket. The interior is fully lined in a tasteful mix of satin material. The body has a pattern while the sleeves are an off white with pinstripes. The lining makes getting into or out of the jacket easy and it helps the jacket fall into place and move with you. There are also several interior pockets sewn into the lining. Plenty for eyeglasses and a phone or wallet.For the price I paid, I have no complaints. In fact I'm ordering the navy blue version based on my experience with the black version.Hope this helps in your search.EDIT 5/11/24: I received the navy blue blazer a couple of days ago, 5/9/24. I wore it last night (Friday) to meet up with some friends after work. I'm happy to report that the fit and quality is the same as the black blazer I bought. No surprises. The consistency just reinforces my impression of the good quality this brand offers. No compliments last night but the prior Friday I had 3 compliments from women and 1 from a guy on the black blazer. So I guess it looks OK to other people too.Edit 5/12/25: One more thought occurred to me. Since this jacket is polyester, rayon, spandex be VERY careful putting an iron anywhere near it. You will ruin it FAST. Both my jackets (Black and Navy) came out of the shipping bag with moderate wrinkles. Nothing terrible but they both needed a little touch up before wearing. I own a hand held steamer in addition to an iron. I spent probably 5 minutes on each jacket with the steamer and that took out maybe 90% of the wrinkles. For the couple of spots remaining I used a steam iron. But....you'll no doubt get new wrinkles from daily wear.....15 years in the military taught me the value of a pressing cloth. You'll want to lower the temp of the iron below a cotton setting and cover the jacket where you're ironing with a cotton cloth. I use a bandana but a handkerchief or cotton napkin works fine too. Use steam and a light touch. Keep the iron moving. The wrinkles come out fast. Failure to use a pressing cloth will give you shiny areas where the polyester and rayon "melt". There's no fix for that.

This jacket was exactly what I was looking for. Good fit and--as an added benefit--beautifully lined.

Great looking jacket
This was a surprisingly great find. Very nicely tailored, great looking silver buttons on the exterior and nice, contrasting inner liner. It is also true-to-size. Unfortunately mine did not fit me as I really needed a "Short" length but they didn't have one in my size. I opted for the "Regular" length hoping it might run on the smaller side, but that was not the case. Knowing the cost to have it tailored to fit me was about the same cost as the jacket itself, I opted to return it. However, i did struggle with the decision as the look of the jacket itself is so high-end.

Great jacket
This is a great jacket for the price! It’s well made and looks good on. Just beware it does run small. After I measured my husband under the arm pits he was a 47 so I ordered a 50 regular. He couldn’t button it so I ordered a 52 regular and it fit perfectly. He’s 6 feet tall.

Quality is great. Size guide sucks
Very nice coat. The size guide is so far off. It recommends a size 44 and I even ordered a lager size 46 and it’s so small that I am scared to guess what the nearest size would be for me to replace it because I really liked it

Good fit
My husband recently lost weight so I was nervous if this would fit . Size 50 regular fit perfect ! He’s 6’1 roughly 250 lbs and usually wears things right off the rack . This jacket fits perfect in every way and I’m surprised at the quality for a cheaper jacket .
