Charles | Houndstooth Wool-Look Blazer

Fits my dad who is eighty and a bit stooped. The cut works with how he stands rather than against it. He is pleased

Wore the grey to a job interview and the brown to the leaving do at the old place. Both jackets did what they needed to

Grey with a black roll neck and black jeans. Simple. Sharp. Done

Looks like it cost a lot more than it did. My brother asked which shop and did not believe me

Bought for a wedding in October. Wore it over a jumper on the day because it was cold and it still looked smart. That flexibility is why I keep reaching for it

The inside pockets are on both sides which is not always the case at this price. Phone one side wallet the other

Sleeve length is spot on for me at 6ft 1 in the large. Shirt cuff shows just enough

Went for the brown because I wear a lot of blue and it works. Blue jeans blue shirt brown jacket. Easy

Perfect for the theatre. Smart enough for the stalls and comfortable enough to sit in for three hours

Christmas do at work. Everyone in shirts. Me in this. Won the night

Bought it because a mate had one. Now his mate has one. It is spreading

Nice weight of fabric. Feels like it will last more than one season. Sleeve lining is a bit slippery so a shirt cuff can ride up when you pull it on. Minor

Got the grey for a friends wedding in the spring. Light enough for a warm day and smart enough for the photos

My wife picked the brown for me. I would have gone grey. She was right. I have since bought the grey too

The two button front is the right choice. Three buttons would have made it look old fashioned

Looks good with a flat cap. Looks good without one. Either way it looks like I made an effort

Bought the grey for my dad who is hard to buy for. He wore it to the bowling club dinner and got compliments which he pretended not to enjoy

Bought for a fiftieth birthday party. Now I wear it to Sunday lunch. Cost per wear is dropping every week

Wore it to the races with a shirt and tie and it held its own next to people in proper tailoring

Easy to dress up and dress down. Tie for the meeting off for the pub

Wore it with cords in the brown and looked like a geography teacher in the best way

Fits over a shirt and waistcoat in the size up. Three piece look for the price of one

Fits under a coat without bunching which matters in January

Smart. Comfortable. Cheap. Pick three

The check is smart enough that I wore it to a court appearance as a witness and felt right

Solid stitching on the seams. Had a good look inside and nothing loose

Got it for a wedding abroad. Packed it flat. Hung it up. Wore it. No iron needed

Got it for an award do and wore it with a black shirt. Photos came out well

The grey is a proper mid grey and not silver. Works with navy trousers and with black

Bought for my husband for our anniversary dinner. He wore it and then wore it again the next weekend and the one after

Bought the brown then went back for the grey a month later. Wear one or the other most days now

Bought it to wear to my daughters wedding as a not the father of the bride option. She approved. That is the only review that matters

Mid weight is honest. I have worn it in October wind with a shirt and been fine and worn it indoors in April without cooking

The check is smaller than it looks in the photos. From across the room it reads as a plain brown and up close you see the pattern. I like that

Enough pockets to leave the bag at home. Phone inside left. Keys outside right. Wallet inside right. Sorted

Comfortable enough to eat a three course meal in without wanting to take it off

Looks smart with trainers which was the whole point. Tailoring without the fuss

This is the jacket I put on when I do not know what to put on

Wore it for a photo for a work profile and it made me look like I know what I am doing

Went a size up and it is roomy over a shirt and right over a knit. Exactly what the listing says

Fits my son who is fifteen and slim. Got him the extra small and it is actually small. Rare

My teenage son wore it to prom. Now he wears it to town. That is money well spent

Went with the grey because I already had a brown coat. Good call. It is the one I reach for

Bought it for my son for his sixth form leavers and he has kept wearing it. That never happens with anything I choose for him

Mid weight is about right. Warm enough for October with a shirt and not too much for a heated restaurant

Bought for a trip to Rome. Walked around in it all day and ate dinner in it. Did both without complaint

The brown check reads as neutral from a distance. It is only a pattern up close. Easy to wear

Nice length. Covers the bum without hanging down to the thighs like some cheaper blazers

Went up a size for a roll neck underneath and it works. Fits properly over a shirt too with a bit more room. Happy either way

Good quality lining. Slippery in the right way. Jacket goes on over a shirt without any fuss

Good shoulders. The shoulder seam sits where my shoulder actually ends

Smart enough that I got upgraded to a better table at a restaurant. Might be coincidence. I will keep wearing it either way

Fits my slim build in a medium without looking like a boxy hire jacket

Bought two sizes to compare and sent one back. Kept the size up. Fits over a jumper with room and still looks fitted over a shirt

Wore it to my cousins wedding over a white tee and jeans and got more comments than the groom. Brown check with dark denim is a good combination

Looks more expensive than it is. Feels more expensive than it is. Cost thirty eight pounds

The grey with a white shirt and jeans is the easiest smart outfit I own now

Solid jacket. Wore it to a wedding as a guest and did not feel underdressed next to the suits

Good for a bloke who does not wear jackets. That is me. I now wear a jacket

Nice jacket. Sleeves are a touch long on me so I have them turned back once which works with the lining showing. Would rather they were half an inch shorter but I am fussy

Brown blazer with cream chinos and I look like I am on holiday in the south of France. I am in Stockport

I wear it over a black t-shirt and black jeans and it makes an outfit out of nothing

The brown goes with more than I thought. Navy. Black. Cream. Denim. Nothing it clashes with so far

Went for the brown as I am ginger and grey washes me out. Right choice. It warms everything up

My husband has three of these now. Two brown one grey. He says one is for best. I do not know which

Graduation. Brown blazer, white shirt, no tie. Looked like the pictures I wanted to look like

Pockets pockets pockets. I hate carrying a bag and this means I do not have to

Wore it on my first day at a new job. Nobody knew it cost less than the sandwich I had for lunch

Sits nicely over a shirt with the collar out. Did not need a tie to look finished

Lining is smooth so it slides on over a shirt without dragging. Sounds small but it is the difference between a jacket you wear and one you leave on the hook

Got this for a school reunion and did not want to look like I was trying. It sits in that gap between casual and smart perfectly

Sixty quid in the sale elsewhere for something similar and this was £38 and I cannot tell the difference

Very light for a jacket with a full lining. Forgot I had it on by the end of the evening

Exterior pockets are real pockets and not stitched shut for show. Used them from day one

First blazer I have owned. Did not know what I was doing with sizes so I went up one like the page said and it fits over a jumper with room to move

Good blazer. The check is a touch busier than I expected in daylight. In the evening it is perfect. I would say it is more of an evening jacket for me

Looks like the sort of thing you see in a shop window and walk past because of the price. This was £38

I am 5ft 6 and jackets usually swamp me. The small in this is a proper small. First one in ages that does not look borrowed

Comfortable straight away. No stiff breaking in period. Wore it the day it arrived

Wore it to my nieces wedding then my dads seventieth then a work thing. Three events one jacket and nobody noticed it was the same one

Lining makes it easy to layer. Slides over a jumper without fighting it

The houndstooth is subtle enough to wear to work without anyone thinking I am dressed for the races

Buttoned it does the tailored thing. Open it does the relaxed thing. Same jacket two looks

Looks like a proper blazer and not a costume. That is the trick with houndstooth and this gets it right

Christening on Sunday. Pub quiz on Tuesday. Same jacket both times and it looked right both times

I have had it two months and worn it maybe twenty times. Still looks new. Seams fine. Buttons tight

The brown has a bit of rust in the check when you get close. Photos show it as flatter than it is. Nicer in person

Comfortable to drive in which most blazers are not. Room across the back when your arms are forward

Wore it three days running on a work trip and it did not crease in the case between hotels

Wore it to my mates fortieth. Now three of us have one. It is becoming a uniform

My partner bought me the grey and I liked it enough to buy myself the brown. Two blazers for the price of a shirt elsewhere

Bought two. One for me one for my brother for his birthday. He wore his to the birthday

Mid weight is perfect for spring. Enough to keep the wind off and not so much that I am sweating on the train

My wife bought it for me and told me to wear it to her work Christmas party. I did. Her boss asked where it was from

My son is at that age where he wants to look smart but not like his dad. This works for him. He is sixteen and wearing a blazer by choice

Ordered a size up as told and it fits over a fine knit. Would have been snug in my usual size. Listen to the page

Surprisingly good pockets for keeping hands warm in when you are stood outside a pub in October

The two button closure sits nicely done up. Not straining not loose. Just right in the size up

Good jacket for the money. The buttons feel a bit light compared to the rest of it. I might swap them for horn ones at some point

Fits like it was made for me and I am an awkward shape. Long arms short body. The large works

Wore it to a garden party in May over a linen shirt and it was fine in the sun. Mid weight is honest

Fits the shoulders which is the bit that never fits me. Everything else can be adjusted but shoulders cannot and these are right

Bought this and a pair of chinos and now I have an outfit that works for anything from a meeting to a date. Cheapest I have ever solved that problem

Bought it for a work presentation. Wore it over a plain shirt. Got asked where it was from twice

Buttons up without pulling across the chest in the size up. Sits flat

Nice jacket. One of the inside pockets on mine was tacked shut and I had to snip the thread. Common on new jackets but worth knowing so you do not think it is missing

Wore it to a parents evening and the teachers were nicer to me. Could be coincidence

Wore it to a funeral in the grey. Respectful without being a suit. Right for the day

I do not usually write reviews but this is the best £38 I have spent on clothes in a long time and I wanted to say so

Smart casual for a work do and I finally understood what that phrase means

Got it for a family photo. Everyone else in jumpers. I look like the one who has his life together

Bought for a christening. It has since done a wedding and two dinners. Cost per wear is nothing now

Lovely jacket for the money. I would say the brown is more of a light brown than a dark one so if you want something close to chocolate it is not that. Still very wearable

My brother in law borrowed it for an interview and now he has ordered his own

I had one blazer for ten years and it finally died. This has replaced it and I think it might last as long

Good jacket. Good price. Bought a second in the other colour

My dad is seventy eight and still likes to dress properly. Got him the brown for his birthday and he has worn it to church every Sunday since

Sits nicely on a smaller frame. The extra small is properly small and not just a medium with a different label

The jacket itself is good and I do like it but mine arrived with a small pull in the lining near the inside pocket. Not visible from the outside so I have kept it rather than go through the hassle of a return. Would have been five stars without that

The check hides a multitude. Spilt a bit of red wine on it and you cannot see it

Took it out of the bag and the creases dropped out after a night on a hanger. Ready to wear by the morning

The grey goes with brown shoes and black shoes. That settles a lot of arguments in the morning

Fabric has a bit of body to it. Not thin and not stiff. Holds its shape on a hanger and on me

Full lining and it still folds into a case without turning into a sack of creases

Ordered the grey for a wedding where I did not want to be in navy like everyone else. Stood out for the right reasons

Grey blazer white shirt dark jeans brown shoes. Every man should have that outfit and now I do for under fifty quid

Really like it. It does run slim through the body so the size up advice is not optional if you have any middle on you. Went up and it fits well

I am 2XL and jackets in my size usually look like tents. This is cut like the smaller sizes just bigger. Finally

Wore it to a funeral in the grey with a black shirt and it was right for the day without being a suit

Full lining means it goes on and off easily and the sleeves do not bunch up your shirt underneath

Fit is good and the lining is nice. It does pick up fluff from a dark jumper more than a plain fabric would. Lint roller sorts it

I wanted a jacket I could throw on over a t-shirt and not think about. This is that jacket

The two buttons sit at the right height for me. Some blazers button too low and make you look short. This does not

Race day at Cheltenham with a flat cap and this jacket. Looked the part without spending the part

Check pattern lines up across the front seams which is not something I expected at this price

Inside pocket is deep enough for a phone without it sticking out the top. Checked before I bought and it was fine

Wore it to a wake and then to the pub with the family after. It did not look out of place at either

It hangs right. That is the thing with cheap blazers. They do not hang right. This one does

The brown check with a burgundy knit underneath is my autumn look now. Whole outfit under a hundred quid

Sleeves are lined so the jacket goes on over a long sleeve shirt without the sleeve riding up. Good detail

The brown is warmer in tone than the photo. More of a tobacco than a chocolate. Suits me better than I thought

Bought for a job interview and got the job. I am not saying the jacket did it but it did not hurt

Date night jacket. Did its job

The brown is the colour of a good pair of boots which is exactly why it goes with a good pair of boots

Sharp with jeans. That is all I wanted from it and that is what it does

Bought for my grandson starting uni. He says the girls like it. I will take his word for that

Good jacket. Wears well over a shirt. Only thing is the outside pockets sag a bit if you keep your phone in them. Use the inside ones

I am a teacher and this is now the jacket for parents evenings and open days. Smart without looking like I am trying to sell them something

It is a nice jacket and I do wear it but the fit through the waist is more tailored than I expected even in the size up. If you carry weight round the middle I would say try it on with the bottom button open. That is how I wear it and it looks good like that

Good jacket. The grey is a shade darker than the website shows on my screen. Still a nice colour and I am keeping it but worth mentioning

First smart jacket in fifteen years. Wore it to my brothers wedding and felt like a grown up

Good jacket for the shoulder season. Not warm enough for deep winter but that is not what it is for

Worn it every Friday for two months. Colleagues have started calling it the Friday jacket

My husband is not a jacket man. He wore this to a christening and then to the pub after and then asked if it comes in the grey too

Fabric has a nice hand to it. Not scratchy against the neck when worn over a tee

The check is classic. Nobody is going to look at this in five years and think it dated

Full lining. Real pockets. Proper lapels. At £38 I expected one of the three not all of them

Wore it on a plane and it came out the other end looking fine. That is my test for a jacket

My wife says it makes me look like I have a job in London. I do not. I like it though

Nice looking jacket but the size I ordered was tight across the back even though I went up like the page said. I am broad in the shoulder so it may be me. Wearing it open rather than buttoned and it looks fine like that

Notch lapels sit flat and do not curl up which is the thing I check on cheaper jackets. These lie properly

Sits well over a shirt and tie for a meeting and just as well over a tee for the pub after

Two-button front with the top one done up and the bottom left open and it hangs just right. Whoever cut this knew what they were doing

The lapels are the right width. Not skinny and not wide. Just a proper lapel

Ordered Monday. Arrived Wednesday. Wore it Friday. Good week

Lining is a plain dark colour so it does not look cheap when you take it off and hang it on a chair
