Period. 928235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Exactly. A tailor should be able to get it right and you'll only have to speak up if they look like they are going way to short or long. &nbsp;There isn't nearly as much wiggle room in the acceptable range for sleeve length as there is for say ppl.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928224 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:54:26 +0000 catgirl 928224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, K - that's what I was trying to figure out.&nbsp; Not as long as outerwear, right?&nbsp; But not nerd-short? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928222 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:53:27 +0000 K. Period. 928222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Una, I always go for the top of that nub that sticks out on the side of your hand&nbsp;where your thumb bones connect to your wrist. I read that somewhere and it always seems to work beautifully. Or maybe I should say Konnects. ;)&nbsp;<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928219 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:51:17 +0000 Angie 928219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It can totally be a professional AND casual and edgy blazer too :)<br /><br />I'd say at least an inch and a half on the sleeves. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928205 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:42:01 +0000 catgirl 928205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So just wrote out a whole post and lost it by clicking around.&nbsp; But Angie, THANK YOU!&nbsp; I think this is just out of my comfort zone.&nbsp; But if it works, it will fill the need for a work blazer that can go from conservative to edgy to casual (possibly).<br /><br />How much should I shorten the sleeves?&nbsp; There are buttons so that will be quite the tweak - any other alterations?<br /><br />Thanks to everyone who chimed in - I'm on a steep new learning curve here!<br /><br />K, you Krack me up. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928162 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:13:27 +0000 Parsley 928162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm relieved to hear that I'm not the only one who thinks that!<br /> So, is it a keeper, Una? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928149 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:03:56 +0000 Angie 928149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Then<b> K</b> it is! :)<br /><br />And high five, Sveta! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928132 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:55:37 +0000 K. Period. 928132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like K too. &nbsp;My husband calls me that in written items. &nbsp;There is something fun about going by an initial. &nbsp;Maybe I'll search around and see if I can figure out how to change my moniker. &nbsp;Don't be shocked if Greg gets an email from me. &nbsp;<br /><br />AND OMG&nbsp;UNA, totally hijacked your thread. Sorry my dear! But see how much love there is for that jacket. &nbsp;It really is fabulous. &nbsp;I hope it survives it probationary period and gets taken on for good. &nbsp;(BTW, I think what tipped me on it was seeing how amazingly fab it looked with your jeans and tee/sweater. &nbsp;Seriously. How great was that. And with a cuff? I die!)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928129 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:55:00 +0000 Sveta 928129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Me too, me too! I am so glad the Theory jacket got a royal approval because as I said on another tread it is really fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928127 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:51:11 +0000 Angie 928127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ High five Rae and Shevia! And K, Zap and Parsley too of course, <br /><br />K can shop, I like <b>K</b>. It's strong and simple :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928123 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:49:48 +0000 Jaime 928123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh thank goodness! The last thread had me completely confused!<br /><br />ETA - Formerly known as K - I love it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928118 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:47:00 +0000 K. Period. 928118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I know! I seriously need a new forum name, don't I? &nbsp;Maybe I'll invent a symbol. Instead of The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, I can be The Poster Formerly Known as K Can Shop! &nbsp;What do you thing, Angie and Una? :-P&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928117 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:46:12 +0000 rae 928117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Woohoo! I just came over from the other thread, and I like what I see here. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928110 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:41:39 +0000 Angie 928110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <b>HAHAHAHAHHH </b>K! We posted at the same time! I just edited your name on my comment to read in full so people would know it was YOU when I refer to K :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928107 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:39:45 +0000 K. Period. 928107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ HA HA! Now you HAVE to keep the jacket. &nbsp;:)&nbsp;<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928104 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:37:52 +0000 Angie 928104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry, Una. It's been busy. I meant to get to your thread! <br /><br />KILLER Theory jacket. Needs to have the sleeves shortened big time. Looks incredible with the sleeves scrunched! <b>Modern.</b> Not conservative and boxy. In fact, I see the exact opposite! Totally in agreement with Parsley, K can shop, and Zap on that thread. <br /><br /><b><i>Note:</i></b> I bat for Team Looser Clothes because I think they look more chic, elegant and flattering that way. By choice, my tailored fits are looser than how most ladies wear them on the forum and in blogosphere. So bear that in mind when you read my 2 cents. :)<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-theory-blazer#post-928043 Thu, 09 May 2013 00:32:30 +0000 catgirl 928043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Okay, I am totally confused about this blazer, whether it fits properly, is a 10, needs to be altered, etc. &nbsp;Have gotten lots of great comments but since there's no real consensus I need our fearless leader's guidance. &nbsp;TIA!<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-theory-blazer">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ory-blazer</a><br />
