French Tweed is versatile; the fit is fabulous
"I am so excited about this jacket! French Tweed goes with all my US ponte pants: Black Cherry, Earth, and Black. Of course, great with denim. What I love is the fit. I bought Small, which is my lower body size; I wear XS on top. This jacket is made of a buoyant fabric that does not sag on top. The fit looks custom, and I feel great in these outfits."

"I am keeping this but it fits a but more snug than anticipated. Was hoping it would be more like the photo. Purchased another size up (18/20) in another blazer (I am a 14/16) to achieve the more oversized look. Still very happy with the style and quality."

Gorgeous, but doesn't fit like my other US blazers
"This is a stunningly beautiful, elegant blazer and I was so pleased to find it available in the green color. I have a number of other US jackets and although I started out as an XL I've lost some weight and L is now consistently my correct size. So I was disappointed when I tried this on and found that I could barely get one of the buttons closed. This has just not been an issue with my other US blazers. Also, I find that the sleeves hit longer than my other US blazers, and as I am only 5'2', that's an issue for me. I do love that the sleeve buttons can be undone to roll the sleeves up, but it doesn't really solve the problem. I'm keeping it because I do hope I will be able to button it eventually, and because it is so beautiful, but I'm glad I bought it during a 30% off promotion because if I had paid full price I'd be extra annoyed that I can't wear it for the event I bought it for."

PERFECT BLAZER
"I got this blazer in a mystery box and it is perfect. I wear it with black pants and a cute t-shirt for a complete put together look."

Versatile, soft, and a little funky!
"I’m a plaid fanatic. When I first saw this jacket, I fell in love. I bought it in an XS. When I tried it on, it fit perfectly, but there was not a lot of room if I wanted to wear a sweater under it. I was going to return it for a larger size, but it was out of stock. I needed it for an outfit, so I took off the tags and wore it all day. Glad I didn’t get it larger size. The Ponte had a nice stretch and it’s super comfy. It’s business and kinda punk all at the same time. Perfect!"

My favorite US Blazer style.
"My favorite US Blazer style. More cropped and fitted and with a more defined waist than even Bianca. A touch lighter in weight than the seme style in French Tweed, I love the British Plaid and got this to match the skirt, stalking the website stock while waiting for a bit of a sale, These Ponte Blazers are as easy to wear as a cardigan but much more authoritative. I always build my travel capsules around a Universal Standard blazer."

Another Blazer?? 🤷♀️
"Another great investment into my professional workwear collection!! I own about every color of blazer US makes and I saw this one and thought…. hmmmm…. . do I need another?? Of course I do!! This one will also give me an opportunity to pair with jeans and a white shirt for a casual look as well. True to size and the quality is great as well!"

New Favorite Blazer!
"Love the look, love the fabric and FUNCTIONAL 4 pockets! I love the buttons on the sleeves and that I can roll the sleeves up for just a bit of casualness is the best! No need for extra frills and flounces- just a solid blazer in a great print its my new favorite blazer!"

This Jacket is EVERYTHING.
"This is such a beautiful jacket: the construction, the materials, the WOW factor. Truly a remarkable piece. After having read the reviews here, I decided to go up in a size when ordering and it was PERFECT. (I wear a pretty consistent 2x in US, but for this I ordered the 3x) As someone who only wears silver or white gold jewelry, I really appreciated the silver trimmings on this jacket. The photos do not do it justice, truly. Wears well dress down with denim and a t-shirt or dress it up over slacks or a dress, its a more versatile piece than one might experience. I wish they would offer a long-line version of this, a duster length jacket in this same material and styling would seriously make my heart sing."

So versatile!
"I love it and I wear it ALL THE TIME! One small note - either I gained weight or this is cut smaller, but I don't try to button it - this would be a tight fit if I did. My other US blazers button just fine. The buttons do come off easily, but I have been able to sew them back on with no problem. Five stars because in spite of its flaws, I have worn this to work, to present in, and to go out with friends so many times. I love that the sleeves and upper arms fit me! I was a weight-lifter, and I still have muscle. This jacket doesn't make my upper arms look like sausages, AND it's cut so the fabric over my forearms it's embarrassingly loose to accommodate my giant upper arms. I wish it buttoned around the middle without straining, but it is amazing as long as I don't button it."
