I've seen this blazer a few times and hesitated, but it's coming into a light winter for me so time to look at jackets again.
Y or N

The 1st one with the massive logo looks like you'd need to wear jodhpurs and perform dressage!

The reiss one is better, but at £328- its very expensive!

The first one looks like "the uniform" female trainee solicitors wore in the early 2000s.

They both now look like the uniforms for front of house staff at a mid range and above hotel.

Sorry, no. Might be better if not worn with matching trousers.

OP- if you give us an idea of what you are looking for- work wear/casual, colour, style etc we might find companies than post to Aus (I'm assuming that is where you are?)

I'm not keen on the logo but I have tried this on in the shops! I have to say it was very flattering on and was a step up from my usual combat style jacket. Took casual to smart casual!

Couldn't justify the price at the time though just to look better in my local pub.

The Whistles ones are sadly nowhere near as nice in real life as they look on the website imo.

My style was once described as an over sexed teen on the S&B board....
I have a classic black blazer with gold buttons, love it but want to replace it with a quality one.

Today I'm wearing this ....

I may have accidentally bought the jacket. Will keep everyone posted, guess I'll be able to get a 2nd job in a hotel to pay for it 🤣

Well, I think it's safe to say you are swerving the oversexed teen look with this jacket 😂

I hope you love it when it gets here

I asked my 2 very good friends, who have very different style to me, however whose advice I both respect, and was met with a resounding yes.
Let's see when it arrives.....
