Review on A. Byer Juniors Long Sleeve Button Welt Jacket - Stylish & Comfortable by Steve Yang

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pleasantly Surprised

I was very pleasantly surprised by this blazer. Although it is obviously not of designer quality, the fit is excellent and all of the stitching is neatly done. I was afraid the fit might be too small since this is marked as junior sizing but I ordered my typical size small and it fits great (for reference I am 5'4" 112 lbs with a small bust). The waist is nicely tapered without being at all tight and the length ends right at my hips which is hard to find since I have a relatively short torso. I got the black version of this jacket and the fabric is fairly nice, a true black, and not overly flimsy. There was even a little shoulder padding which adds to the shape of the jacket (although its not sewn in all that thoroughly so it could easily be removed if desired). The cheapest looking part of this jacket is definitely the buttons, which are a very cheap plastic but these could easily be replaced to spruce up the jacket. It was also a nice touch that two extra buttons were sewn into the inside of the jacket as replacements. I can't speak to the lasting power of this jacket since I only recently bought it but overall I would highly recommend this if you're looking for an inexpensive but sharp looking blazer for a work setting (or for any other reason).

Pros
  • Two button jacket with welt pockets
Cons
  • The jacket may be prone to wrinkles and extra care may be required to maintain its appearance
