I am stubbornly still liking the original Dickey. I like the contrast of the lighter color, especially with the boots and your hair. Hope you are keeping the suit.

Thank you all. And yes. I am keeping. I will wear with Dickie and without and with my own hoodies if preferred. It is pretty easy to find a light grey hoodie.

Keeping the boots too

Yes this is good, the new smaller size. And I love the dickey and your amethyst hoodie with the jacket as well(!)

This is such a brilliant solution for you! Just a notch down in the formality and up in the comfort, but still firmly in your wheelhouse. I'm glad you found the right sizes to confirm.

Excellent! So glad to see the smaller one is a perfect fit.

Definitely a keeper now!

Glad to see the smaller sized blazer* still feels comfy with your own hoodie layered underneath it too!

*Is it still technically a blazer if it's made out of a knit material- or is it 'just' a jacket now?
