They are both really comfortable. Just for sizing help, my normal size is a 4-6 petite and I bought a regular Small for the additional length. It has soft, dropped shoulders 16" across, and body length 22". I roll up the sleeves like a sweater. The blazer isn't oversized by any means, more a relaxed fit for travel and layering. I wish I'd known it came in red as it would be instant love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-knit-blazer#post-1883082 Fri, 26 Jan 2018 20:36:27 +0000 jussie 1883082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this info.

They've been a boon this winter!</p> <p>And <b>lisap</b> - I actually find that them being unlined is a bonus as they are much more comfortable and allow for some stretch. I don't find they stick to the silk blouses or wool knits I wear underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-knit-blazer#post-1881347 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 20:15:27 +0000 Toban 1881347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this review.

I think sometimes you just have to try an item for yourself. For me, one size down is absolutely perfect. So, if it doesn't stretch out I'm going to be extremely happy with the size. But there were reviewers who, like Ummlila, felt that even one size down was big. (For reference, I am usually a S and I bought an XS. I am 5'5 with a 34A bust (at best hahaha!) and long arms. Narrow on top.)</p> <p><b>Lisap: </b>It's an extremely smooth knit merino wool. I have not yet worn it (tags still on) but I am hoping to wear it this week with a striped tee (cotton), l/g silk shirt, and black crepe top (if the puffy shoulders work). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-knit-blazer#post-1881185 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 06:02:51 +0000 karen13 1881185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Marilyn - I'm a bit taller and heavier than you so an XS might be the ticket. Sometimes the sleeve length in jackets and sweaters works for me in regular - you never know until you try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-knit-blazer#post-1881139 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 01:35:25 +0000 MsMaven 1881139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the J Crew sweater blazer last fall--a small and I could have gone smaller. Wear it a lot. Good for chilly days in SF Bay area and useful in -0° weather in Chicago at Christmas.</p> <p>I do love knit blazers. They are far more useful for my life now than more structured blazers or cardigans. I hope they are around for a long time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-knit-blazer#post-1881089 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 22:07:34 +0000 Marilyn 1881089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Karen13</b>.......I'm petite as well and bought the JC Sweater Blazer in regular.&nbsp; I'm 5', about 106 lbs, 30DD and bought an XXS....I'm usually an XS.&nbsp; Fits perfectly.....the sleeves are even the right length.&nbsp; The length is 1 1/4" longer but it's meant to be a longer blazer anyway.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-knit-blazer#post-1881033 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 18:31:56 +0000 karen13 1881033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for posting this, I meant to find it on my own and got distracted. I wish the burgundy and navy were still available in petite :(.</p> <p>I ready the reviews on the Factory one (no petites) and saw a petite person successfully shrank hers (it is cotton) but I'm not sure I need it badly enough to risk it. I've had some luck with this strategy, but I only do it with existing wardrobe items that I would donate otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-knit-blazer#post-1881009 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 16:50:29 +0000 Anonymous 1881009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this, and could see how it would fit a major hole for me: winter blazers with enough ease for wearing under a coat. &nbsp;Not badly priced at all, either. &nbsp;Now, I see it's not lined ...what are you wearing underneath? Tops don't grab and stick to the wool? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-knit-blazer#post-1881003 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 16:45:12 +0000 Anonymous 1881003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!

My only quibble with it is that it ran very large even in a size down. Madewell has a version now too, on a larger scale. I'm thinking of ordering it fr loungewear purposes with mens-y looking striped pajamas.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jcrew-knit-blazer#post-1880901 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 13:26:35 +0000 viva 1880901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A couple of you expressed interest in this knit jacket from JCrew, so here it is. JC actually has several knit blazers to choose from -- a fuller, longer less structured one (which I tried but found overwhelming) and one like this that is cropped (not what I was looking for). Also, one from Factory.</p> <p>The less structured one comes in navy, black, and tan and is available in petite. <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens_category/blazers/wool/openfront-sweaterblazer/G7746?color_name=black">https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens.....name=black</a></p> <p>The cropped is only available in XXS and red, right now, but on very deep sale for any tiny women out there:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens_category/sweaters/cardigans/cropped-sweaterblazer/H0738?color_name=belvedere-red">https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens.....or_name=be</a></p> <p>Here's the one from JCrew Factory.

(I probably could wear my regular size too, but it would be slightly roomy.) It is a beautiful knit, has great lines, and is a perfect length. Feels blazer-y but also comfy. I like it with the collar up and down. I'll post some pics of me wearing it this weekend, when I try to assemble some work-travel outfits for next week. </p>
