Product Insights
Checkered Hourglass Blazer 795 CAD Hourglass cut runs close and deliberately tailored; sizing guidance is split between sizing down and taking your usual size. Built-in shoulder pads and a supported sleeve head create a defined, squared shoulder line. A single 3-star review called the shoulder padding oversized and not everyday. Dry clean only / professionally clean; steam rather than press flat to preserve the structure.
Verified claims
- fit & sizing
- Hourglass cut runs close and deliberately tailored; sizing guidance is split between sizing down and taking your usual size.
- sizing
- Sizes run 6, 8, 10, 12, then jump to 16; there is no size 14.
- comfort
- The structured shell has a slight give from 4% elastane, so it skims rather than strains.
- materials
- Body is 67% polyester, 29% viscose, 4% elastane; lining is 56% acetate, 44% viscose.
- lining
- Satiny acetate-viscose lining helps the blazer slide over layers and hang smoothly.
- construction
- Built-in shoulder pads and a supported sleeve head create a defined, squared shoulder line.
- buyer feedback
- A single 3-star review called the shoulder padding oversized and not everyday.
- silhouette
- Single-button closure, waist darts/princess seams and a center back seam cinch the waist; the back hem flares slightly.
- color & pattern
- Listed as Pink plaid; the check reads as a dark plum/burgundy ground with pink and brown lines.
- pattern
- The large windowpane check is aligned across many visible seams, including center back and sleeve seams, with the button and darts ideally centred on the check.
- styling
- Smythe positions the blazer as a third piece to wear with trousers, denim, dresses or a matching suit.
- styling
- The structured shoulder reads dressy; wearing it open with a simple top and sneakers is the main way to relax it.
- layering
- A fine-gauge shell or tee works in your usual size; size up only for chunky knits.
- care
- Dry clean only / professionally clean; steam rather than press flat to preserve the structure.
- alterations
- Professional alterations can let out sides/darts and move buttons; if the shoulder seam is moved, the pad must be repositioned too.
- fit checks
- Try it buttoned and unbuttoned, then reach forward: the shoulder line should stay clean without pulling or collapsing.
- fit
- The shoulder seam should end at the natural edge of the shoulder.
- styling
- Avoid stacking volume: skip large sleeves underneath, an already oversized blazer, or voluminous top-and-trouser combinations.
- value
- 795 CAD flat from size 6 to 16, with made-in-Portugal tailored construction and no extended-size surcharge.
- features
- Notched lapel, single-button closure, button cuffs and piped pockets complete the tailored front.

des épaulettes surdimentionnées, à mon avis, ne permettaient pas de faire de ce veston, un vêtement de tous les jours.
