I bought the pants, then I discovered there was a matching blazer and now it turns out that I am going to be looking for a new job. I've worn the pants but what do you think of the blazer? It feels a little snug but the next size is sold out. Thank you!

Does not look tight at all, but can you cross your arms? Will it be comfortable when driving. You look great - best of luck at your interview.

I'm with Nicole. The suit looks great in this picture, but if it feels too tight, you won't be comfortable. Is this the Gabe B jacket? Can you find it somewhere else in the right size?

I think it looks fabulous. Does it have any give?

Gorgeous!! (And I am jealous.) Is this Gabe 2 or Gabe B 2? The jacket does not look snug but it must feel right or it isn't a good buy for you.

It does have give, nicely stretchy. When I sit driving it's not like I'm wearing sweats. I guess I'm used to jackets being snug through the shoulders. Maybe I will wear it around the house tonight and see how it feels. I can't find a size 6. It's the gabe b tailor.

Thanks, Patience. This one is the stretch wool; the newer one (that Angie has) is called Gabe B 2. I am not sure if the fit is the same.

You might be able to find this on ebay. But you'd want to be able to return if the other size wasn't better.

Doesn't look snug.

You look like a billion dollars in this suit. Good grief. Killer gorgeous. Welcome to Team Theory Suit. You will never look back. Promise. xo

Well it looks incredible on you! Do you have a hunch that the next size up would be too big (in other words, has this happened before with blazers where you could try on both sizes)? It's really, really sharp. I'd wear it around for a while to make sure it's not going to drive you crazy. The stretch is a bonus!

Looks great! If it feels good, it's really a winner.

Wow it's a gorgeous suit! It doesn't look too tight. I hope it ends up feeling comfortable too.

This looks fab but I can't stand arm constriction on me. I feel hindered. Theory runs small. How do you feel?

What a beautiful interview outfit! I'd try moving and walking in the jacket, both buttoned and unbuttoned to check sizing.

Doesn't look snug in the picture. How does it feel when you move?

Absolutely stunning, Patience!! And I love how you've paired your fab new suit with the animal print booties here!-)

You look stunning, sharp and oh so professional. The animal print accents add personality and zest. Is it navy?
