Product Insights
The Smythe Not A Db Cotton-Linen Blazer uses trompe-l'oeil design to simulate a double-breasted look with a single-button closure, eliminating front fabric overlap and improving airflow via a center back vent. Its slim contoured longline silhouette with strong shoulders and no front bulk creates an authoritative, elongating fit that runs true to size (6–16) but limits layering. The cotton-linen blend wrinkles less than pure linen yet develops a relaxed look with wear; professional dry cleaning is needed, though steaming between wears reduces frequency. Made in Canada with 20 years of blazer expertise, it offers a formal peaked lapel, breathable cupro lining, and is priced at a sale of $299.95, delivering exceptional value against competitors.
Verified claims
- Trompe-l'oeil design
- Single-button front with decorative DB button row eliminates front fabric overlap.
- Airflow
- Single-button closure allows the blazer to hang open for airflow; the center back vent prevents the back from sticking when seated.
- Value
- CAD 299.95 sale price is under one-third of Veronica Beard DB blazer.
- Sizing
- Available in sizes 6–16; runs true to size with consistent fit across styles.
- Fit
- Slim contoured longline with strong shoulders and no front bulk; minimal ease creates a close, not forgiving fit.
- Fabric behavior
- Wrinkles less than pure linen; develops a relaxed, broken-in look with wear.
- Care
- Dry cleaning needed; steaming between wears reduces dry-cleaning frequency.
- Craftsmanship
- Made in Canada, with Smythe specializing in women's blazers since 2004.
- Seasonal range
- Explicitly marketed as a patio-to-fall transition piece.
- Styling details
- Peaked lapel with double buttonholes adds formal presence to lightweight fabric.
- Brand specialization
- Smythe has specialized in women's blazers since 2004 and manufactures this blazer in Canada.
- Shoulder and silhouette
- Strong shoulders and longline fit elongate the frame and balance wider hips.
- Authority
- Strong shoulders and formal details give this blazer a bespoke, authoritative look.
- Dry cleaning
- Professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the linen-cotton blend's shape and texture.
- Wrinkling
- Fabric wrinkles less than pure linen but creases after prolonged sitting.
- Fit/sizing
- The blazer runs true to size based on Smythe's fitted cut; a shopper who typically wears a size 8 in fitted blazers should choose size 8.
- Size consistency
- Smythe blazers are built on a consistent block, so a size in this blazer should translate to other Smythe silhouettes like the Duchess and Equestrian.
