Normally I wear an M or even an L. I decided to stay with it since it is a heavier knit and I will probably wear it over layers beginning some time in November.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for everyone's input on this. I might make it into a store and try on an XS just to see.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-sweater-blazer-really-runs-large#post-1853128 Sun, 15 Oct 2017 02:32:39 +0000 Marilyn 1853128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a bit late on this but I just purchased this sweater blazer in Vintage Cabernet today so I thought I'd chime in in case it helps someone.&nbsp; I usually wear an XS at JC or a SP or 4P.&nbsp; I sized down to XXS and it's perfect.&nbsp; <br />For reference I am 5' tall, 30DD bust.</p> <p>Fantastic sweater blazer!&nbsp; I'm stalking the website hoping black comes back into stock.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-sweater-blazer-really-runs-large#post-1844956 Thu, 14 Sep 2017 17:35:26 +0000 shiny 1844956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*for reference, I nearly always take a Small <b>petite</b> in Jcrew tops and coats. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-sweater-blazer-really-runs-large#post-1844953 Thu, 14 Sep 2017 17:33:32 +0000 shiny 1844953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mind you, I am a petite, and this is a regular, but YES it definitely runs large!</p> <p>I ordered it in a small in black. It would probably fit better in an XS. I went to the store, all they had was an XXS. That one was too small. I just ordered the extra-small burgundy to compare, I have a hunch that one will be just right width and shoulder wise, though still on the long-ish side since I'm short.</p> <p>I'm still holding on to the small/black one as even though it is too big, I kind of like the look. It fits me totally different than the picture on the web site -- more like slouchy coatigan than a blazer. With plenty of room to layer to my heart's content underneath. Something about it really reminds me of the 80s. I swear I once had a blazer that fit like this in the 80s! So I'm hanging on to it as I am having major (and surprising) nostalgia. But the burgundy XS may arrive and change my mind...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-sweater-blazer-really-runs-large#post-1844916 Thu, 14 Sep 2017 15:30:09 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1844916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the last year version and I sized down. I could even have gone down two sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-sweater-blazer-really-runs-large#post-1844688 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 22:52:18 +0000 MsMaven 1844688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy and Sheryl--I'll try the small then. The mall I usually go to is being remodeled and it's a hassle to go there to try things on, so I buy more stuff online. Overall I've done pretty well with sizing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-sweater-blazer-really-runs-large#post-1844666 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 21:51:51 +0000 Sheryl 1844666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would suggest you size down from your usual size.&nbsp; I am always a size L or XL at J Crew, and L was way too big.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-sweater-blazer-really-runs-large#post-1844650 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 21:05:42 +0000 Anonymous 1844650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought sImilar burgundy knit jacket (Halogen?) from NAS and sized down but it is still too large and will be returned. It also looks faded, not the rich color I was expecting. Can you order 2 sizes to try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-sweater-blazer-really-runs-large#post-1844647 Wed, 13 Sep 2017 21:00:28 +0000 MsMaven 1844647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone tried this merino sweater-blazer from J Crew? (It comes in gray and black as well as burgundy.)</p> <p>The website says it runs large, so size down one from your usual size. Looking at the size guide, I'd be making a mistake if I bought a small even if it does run a bit big.&nbsp; </p>
