MsMaven, I was wondering if the 8 would be too big but I stuck with that size after your post. Suz, I hoped you would weigh in because I thought I once saw that style on you, loved it, and I&nbsp;<i>think&nbsp;</i>we have a similar build. If I found the right conversion table online, that would mean a UK 6 might fit me better. I'll have to wait and see, have ordered the 8 since the sale was about to end, and yes there's always free returns.&nbsp; </p> <p>Sadly, no B&amp;M carries Banana Republic here in Belgium.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-long-and-lean-blazer-sizing#post-2024924 Mon, 06 May 2019 03:36:09 +0000 Suz 2024924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends a bit on your frame and where you carry your weight. I have square shoulders but a small bust and slim arms. I find BR jackets tend to fit large. In UK sizes (at Boden, say) I'm typically an 8 (though occasionally a 6) but in BR I am more often in a 0 jacket. The sizing can vary even with the same style, though. I have a classic fit jacket of theirs in a 0 and have tried on several others that also fit in that size -- but one fabric I tried didn't fit in the 0 and then the 2 was too large. So...sometimes you need to try in store or accept you might make a return.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-long-and-lean-blazer-sizing#post-2024701 Sun, 05 May 2019 16:09:39 +0000 MsMaven 2024701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear either an 8 or a 10 in blazers. The two BR blazers I have currently are 10s and both very well. I have a couple of Boden blazers in 8, one seemed a bit snug, so I ordered a 10 and it’s big. I hope this helps. </p> <p>Now that I think about it, from now on I think I will stay with the better-fitting BR 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-long-and-lean-blazer-sizing#post-2024685 Sun, 05 May 2019 15:38:56 +0000 Liesbeth 2024685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I noticed many of you own Banana Republic blazers. They are having a sale on their EU site and I’m considering a plaid washable long and lean fit version. I’m normally between UK size 8 and 10 for upper body (between XS and S) but my limited experience with BR is that their sizes run big. Any advice on sizing for this style?</p> <p>It’s the one below but then long and lean instead of classic fit. </p>
