I have it in 4 -- the smaller of my two sizes --&nbsp;and do notice the tightness in the shoulders that others have mentioned, but I find the stretch in the fabric to be very comfortable. As Angie says, the construction is excellent. It is quite a dark navy. </p> <p>Here's an old photo, if it's helpful...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-info#post-2142879 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 17:35:37 +0000 Angie 2142879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two Boden blazers that are a PERFECT fit (on the roomy side of tailored). Yes, I have narrow shoulders...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-info#post-2142825 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 09:51:49 +0000 Jane 2142825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had the same problems as UmmLila with Boden blazers. Somehow their cuts just don't seem to suit me. That said, I love the colours and linings are usually gorgeous fabrics. I had had more luck with Hobbs FWIW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-info#post-2142560 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 22:11:03 +0000 unfrumped 2142560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UmmLila, thank!<br /> I actually tend to have that problem even though I don’t have broad shoulders.<br /> And nowadays armholes are so high/ tight! That gives a trim fig once on, but I find myself struggling in and out of a jacjoand also not being comfortable with much of a sleeve under. I think they’re all made for shell tops.<br /> It seems very hard to get a jacket with a trim fit but comfortable ( other than knits). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-info#post-2142557 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 21:55:51 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2142557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had different blazers from Boden over the years, and my usual issue is that they are tight in the shoulders and too big in the bust. I have decided not to get any more blazers from them, though I was super-tempted by that pink color. I usually wear a size 2, have broader shoulders and small bust so, your mileage may vary.</p> <p>The only Boden blazer that has really worked for me is this one. I donated away the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-info#post-2142504 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 13:52:12 +0000 unfrumped 2142504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, thank you for that detailed review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-info#post-2142503 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 13:45:16 +0000 Staysfit 2142503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a thicker knit Ponte, not light. &nbsp;I hope that the thickness of the fabric will suit my purposes in a cold climate since I tend to run cold, and also enjoy wearing cami tops under blazers. &nbsp;I purchased a size 6. &nbsp;My usual Boden size is 6L. &nbsp;The 6 fits my shoulders well, hits my waist in the right location and has long enough sleeves. &nbsp; I am somewhere between regular and short waisted but may look long waisted due to my height. &nbsp;I may need to have a slight alteration to remove some fabric from the back to get a better torso fit, but that is uniformly the case for me with blazers. &nbsp;They never fit perfectly off the rack. &nbsp;I purchased the pink, so I cannot comment on the shade of blue. &nbsp;Fit is always a fickle issue. &nbsp;I have an old Smythe blazer that fits well, (minimal alteration was required) so I thought it would be worth the risk to try this one and I am happy with the purchase. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-info#post-2142366 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 17:26:49 +0000 Angie 2142366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b><b></b>I&nbsp;believe&nbsp;that&nbsp;<b>Staysfit</b> and <b>UmmLila </b>have the blazer, so hopefully they will chime in.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-info#post-2142310 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 13:06:59 +0000 unfrumped 2142310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, thanks so much--I had not remembered that thread.That was very helpful. Also it is a reminder that the jacket may be repeated in different colors so if it were to fit, I might prefer it in another color than the navy, which is "neutral" but not really a best color. Also helpful to review the fabric weight--if too warm, would not serve as a multi-season staple in my climate. I am long-waisted so this one might not work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-info#post-2142295 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 12:34:03 +0000 Brooklyn 2142295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It didn’t work out for me, but this may help:</p> <p><a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-teal-review" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....eal-review</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-smyth-blazer-info#post-2142166 Wed, 02 Sep 2020 17:18:27 +0000 unfrumped 2142166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any feedback on the Boden Smyth ponte blazer ? I know Staysfit got one in pink...</p> <p>Any reviews on the fit? From the photos and reviews, I am not sure if it will run too big in bust for me, too long, or too heavy a ponte (usually a good thing, but can make it less versatile).</p> <p>I was thinking of trying the navy because in some pics it looks like more of a medium navy, which can be better for me than darkest ink. I have worn a Boden 4 in one top and the Amelie dress but not sure of the blazer sizing, so would default to sz 4 and just see. </p>
