Great value/Runs small however!!
Coming from 30 years in the garment industry with a dozen in men's formal wear I can attest to this being a great value! It is well put together/stitched but runs small so absolutely order a size up from what you would normally order. I am not sure how they came to the inches measured but they are definitely off. Will be donating the one I received to bless someone else and ordering the next size up!

Amazing value
Super nice quality jacket for the price... I was shocked how nice it was actually. For me it wasn't the right fit though... Amazon recommended a size M (5'9" 145lbs) and it was way too big. Was not the slimmest of slims either, so it just felt too big and I ended up returning it. But, the item itself was really nice so I still think it's a 5-star jacket. The color, fabric, and sewing were top notch. Oh, I also wasn't a fan of the faux white pocket square... to me this is a blazer that could look nice with jeans but the white pocket square makes it look a little too formal. I'd have kept it if it fit properly and remove that little piece of fabric.
