I think your chances of getting what you want are excellent. It’s a lovely blazer. I have a herringbone blazer made by Smythe from two years ago and it’s a wardrobe workhorse. It goes with everything. The long length of this one is very attractive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937214 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 17:15:16 +0000 gryffin 1937214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Barbara Diane - All super great suggestions.&nbsp; I will be up at start of public sale.&nbsp; I'm hoping for some feedback by the time the sale opens for me.&nbsp; Otherwise, as you suggest, I will be in stalker mode!!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937206 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 16:36:31 +0000 Barbara Diane 1937206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Order/stalk multiple sizes if necessary?

It looks beautiful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937172 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 15:30:56 +0000 gryffin 1937172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathie - thank you. IKR, when you have a very defined style certain pieces just look like they belong. Specially made for us. Those are the pieces that usually fit seamlessly into our wardrobes. It was like that w the MK collection houndstooth blazer. How could that be so expensive, since it was obviously meant to be mine?! Stalking sooo paid off!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937171 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 15:24:34 +0000 Kathie 1937171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do hope it will be yours! From everything you've posted, it clearly fits with your well-defined style and palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937168 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 15:18:44 +0000 gryffin 1937168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale - it’s a great year for those who enjoy “color” but not as much for the black/black light crew. But I really like the cut of this blazer. Fingers crossed the stars allign for acquisition!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937167 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 15:16:16 +0000 Greyscale 1937167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I missed that when browsing the sale. It looks great - nice crisp lines. I hope it works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937166 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 15:15:38 +0000 gryffin 1937166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - thank you. The photo of the tweed does not do it justice. Although truth be told the fabric is not the finest. The tweed fiber catches and pills on my watch. But the cut is extraordinarily flattering. Saw it on “alterationsneeded” and it’s magical on, at least for me. You do like the fabric, from what I can see, right on this new iteration. It looks more trans seasonal. At least it’s not Uber expensive. If I miss the sale hopefully I can still find one. Hope you are having a great sale for yourself and lucky, lucky clients!! Don’t forget frequent tea and cake breaks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937165 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 15:01:53 +0000 Angie 1937165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't seen either at the flagship, sweet<b> Gryffin.</b>&nbsp;Sorry.

I'll be busy going though my Finds and editing them down to a reasonable selection next week.. &nbsp;</p> <p>I actually <i><u>am</u></i> in the market for a jacket. &nbsp;This is very promising. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937157 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 14:46:06 +0000 gryffin 1937157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling - thank you.&nbsp; If you love long jackets, it's a very flattering, elongating cut.&nbsp; The low stance, single button looks very good on. This looks more trans seasonal than the tweed.&nbsp; The good news is it's a recurring silhouette for RM so hopefully it I miss out there will be others or similar.&nbsp; It's been so a good long blazer year.&nbsp; Gotta stock up while I can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937155 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 14:43:10 +0000 Anonymous 1937155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No information. &nbsp;Just wanted to say it is a gorgeous jacket. &nbsp;Good luck. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-try-on-the-rm-merilee-blazer#post-1937153 Sun, 15 Jul 2018 14:40:40 +0000 gryffin 1937153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to ask if anyone tried on the RM Merilee Herringbone blazer for size?&nbsp; I don't have a Nordies card and need to wait for the public sale, it's practically sold out but hopefully there will be bounce back or restock.&nbsp; I have the RM Merilee blazer in b&amp;w tweed, which is one of my favorite purchases of 2017.&nbsp; That blazer ran super small, I'm 5'3" 113 lb, size 4-6 34A chest and I took a large.&nbsp; They say this runs TTS, so I should take a Medium unless it runs super small again (which all reviews commented on the tweed version).&nbsp; I honestly don't get the sizing.....but with this jacket so hard to find I'd love a better sense of which size if anyone has information.&nbsp; Thanks.&nbsp; </p>
