As I am still on the hunt for my perfect navy blazer I have ordered 3 JCrew blazers in Tall size to try.
Both two button blazers are the same cut but in different colors (solid navy and pinstripe) so I am only attaching pictures of a solid navy in one button and two button styles. In the attached pictures one-button is on the left and two-button is on the right.

I think 2 button is no go. It fits well in shoulders and sleeves but overall fit is very strange on me and pulling too much.

I like one-button style much better but it is 1" shorter (not sure if this is a deal breaker or not) and cut too high under the arms and narrow in the sleeves. However I think that I may need the next size up as it also feels small in the shoulders.
So here is the question: based on what you can see in the pictures (on the left) - is it worth trying the next size up or should I just cut my losses, return everything and forget about it? Unfortunately returns are not free at JCrew for Canadians so before I am ordering the next size up in one button style I would want at least be sure it is worth it.

Thank you so much!

ETA:

Update: a single button blazer in size up came - and it is going back. I took it today to my Expert Super Mom to assess the fit and the verdict was - not the best cut for me! Size up was comfortable in sleeves but she determined that sleeves were cut too narrow on top so the jacket did not lie well. So all his JCrew stuff is going back tomorrow
...which means I am on the hunt for a perfect classic jacket again. I think BR is the next in line to try although Canadian site does not have the Tall size in it. I may order regular to try first and if the fit and cut is good order Tall from US...
..why it is so darn difficult to buy a good classic blazer?!
