I was looking for a blazer that's classy enough to wear to a conference but not as formal as a suit. This blazer was just what I was looking for. The material is heavy and expensive-feeling and the stitching is excellent. The material is rather thick though, which works since I was planning to wear it during the early spring period when the temperature is cool but I imagine it would be very hot to wear in warm weather. I ordered a M and the size fit perfectly. For reference I am 5'5'' and 115 lbs.
