And especially if you plan to wear with pants.<br />Comparisons are helpful.&nbsp;The M&nbsp;doesn't look too big; the greater ease is trending; it'll layer &amp; move well. Gives a bit more effortless look, &nbsp;and your legs always look long&nbsp;&amp; lean and like they &nbsp;do well with the longer length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1065434 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 23:24:59 +0000 Anonymous 1065434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Voting medium - the colors of the jacket are very flattering for you ~~ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064776 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 03:49:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1064776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the medium.

The fit across the back is better. Open I could not tell the difference between the two. Definitely keep the size that's <i>most </i>comfortable to wear. I'm going to be looking for this jacket at JCP now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064754 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 03:32:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1064754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the medium, too. The small looks like a good fit; I see the very, very slight pulling across the back with it buttoned, but I wouldn't consider that a deal-breaker. My preference is based on what I see as the "shrunken blazer" style of the small (shorter and more fitted), which doesn't seem as current a look to me. I think either size could work, though, depending on how you want to wear it (e.g., what you'd most want to layer under it, will it go with dresses or pants) and what look you're going for. Kind of like how Angie talks about using fit to achieve a certain style, here: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/08/28/designers-and-retailers-do-not-dictate-fit/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2013/08/.....ctate-fit/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064641 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 02:37:26 +0000 Amy 1064641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Medium is much better IMO. Cute jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064633 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 02:31:47 +0000 Karie 1064633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm kind of leaning towards the medium, maybe, kind of, not sure...<br />I think the M looks a tad longer in front, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064573 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 01:51:32 +0000 Anonymous 1064573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the medium best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064572 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 01:51:27 +0000 Karie 1064572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, I think a lot of times when stores run out of a size (in this case they were out of the smalls and mediums) they will put the larger size on the mannequin and then pin up the back. I have noticed this because when I can't find my&nbsp;size on the rack, I check the mannequin and if she's wearing it, I take it off her! In this case, they called another store that had the size I wanted and I went over and got it - I was driving right past the other store anyway.</p> <p>DonnaF, the small does pass the arms up test but barely - it fits ever-so-snuggly in the shoulders, as blazers sometimes do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064566 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 01:47:42 +0000 Jaime 1064566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit of the medium best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064528 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 01:14:31 +0000 DonnaF 1064528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the medium because the small pulls a bit in both front and back when the jacket is buttoned.&nbsp; Even if you plan to wear it unbuttoned, I think the medium would be better should you want to wear thick layers underneath.&nbsp; </p> <p>Also, if you are leaning toward the small, have you done the hug and steering wheel tests?&nbsp; Or maybe the lift up the arms toward the black/whiteboard test? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064525 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 01:11:19 +0000 NDMom 1064525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a nice jacket...the plaid matches at the seams! I vote for the medium. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064522 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 01:07:20 +0000 Nicole D 1064522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deffo the original (M). &nbsp;Better fit across the back and room to layer underneath. &nbsp;Such a nice jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064521 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 01:07:15 +0000 Emily 1064521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the shapely fit of the small. &nbsp;It's different than the mannequin, but it sounds like for&nbsp;it to fit like the mannequin you'd have to&nbsp;stand against a wall all day to hide the pinning at the back. &nbsp;Shifty merchandising. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-watch-black-watch-blazer-again-but-in-two-sizes-which-one#post-1064517 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 01:01:18 +0000 Karie 1064517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for another post on this blazer, but I was out and about today and found it in the smaller size.&nbsp;Pics 1, 2, and 3 are size small, pics 4, 5, and 6 are size medium. Pic 7 is how they fitted it on the&nbsp;mannequin at JCP, definitely a larger fit - they put her in a size large and pinned up the back.</p> <p>Interesting, before I looked at the pics I liked one size, then after looking at them I think I prefer the other. I'd love to hear what you wise women have to say!</p> <p>Pics are overexposed on purpose. Which size is the keeper? </p>
