I see a great sale on a blazer but am really unsure of sizing. Any experience with fit with this brand? Thanks!

I find their sizing to be TTS. My recent blazer from them is my usual size. Their sleeves tend to be a bit long and shoulders can be a bit narrow but I don't think that would be a problem for you.

So, RW ad Co, Reitman's and Ricki's, and smart set are all the same company. I have shopped at the last three, but never RW! The others are on the generous side of TTS (true to size).

Okay, thanks. Maybe the converting to inches throws off the chart? Shannon's awesome blazer shows as 34/28/37.5 for size 4. I'm not large in the chest but if I go to a 2 for my 27 waist and 36.5 hips, the bust goes down to 33 - yikes! That's small.

Mo - do you want me to go to the store tomorrow and measure the blazers? I do find they fit a bit smaller than their sister stores.

Oh, gosh - tempting!! Is the Red Dot sale just today or for a while? That 60% has me really champing at the bit.

Hmmm...I'm not sure how long the sale is on.

If you find yourself there, by all means don't make a special trip out of your way!, I'd love to know which size has 15" shoulder span. All my jackets here measure that across the back from shoulder to shoulder, with 34" armpit to armpit. I could fudge the pit part if I didn't button, but when shoulders get smaller than 14.5" it gets snug. Length from collar to hem would be handy, too.
Again, only if you are already out and about! Thanks

I find their sizing inconsistent - the pink blazer I have is a size 0 and the brown one I have is a 2, and the navy I have is a 4, but they all fit me mostly about the same.

If I had to gamble, I'd say the 2 would fit me most consistently - I think we're about the same size :3

i'm the same size there as i am at gap or b.r., so i always have luck with my "usual" size there ... they have such pretty things, i'm sure the blazer will be lovely!
