I wanted to try on the Campbell Blazer in Tweed to compare it to the Rhodes Blazer (which I love) and the Regent Blazer (I loathe the standing collar). The Campbell Blazer is a mix of both blazers with the normal collar of the Rhodes and the single button of the Regent. I still am not a fan of the single-button but I did like the Campbell Blazer itself.
I tried on a size 8 and it fit like all the others. A little long in the arms, good in the shoulders. This tells me I can rely on getting my normal size 10 Petite. You don’t know how good it feels to know my size in J Crew Blazers. That size fits me perfect every single time.
I do wear my blazers buttoned at times, so I prefer my button to sit a little higher, just under my chest. The button on the Campbell Blazer hit below that but above my waist. I can live with a single-button though, especially since the Campbell Blazers are included in the 25% SHOPNOW promo.
Here’s a close-up of the colors and elbow patch. I really liked the colors and it matched my Collection Ruffle Pintuck Heart Dot Blouse I found on ebay. I ordered a size 8, wary of the sleeves being too tight but it’s a perfect fit. It’s 100% silk and falls in with at least the type of material I want to be wearing, i.e. less/no Poly. As far as the blazer, the colors will go with a lot of colors out for Fall. I didn’t notice the elbow patch until after I took it off. I’m good with it since I don’t see it.
I’ll make my final decision on ordering this blazer on Sunday. I want a blazer in a Fall color or patter like this but can’t decide between the following. The patterned blazers will go with more but I like the Rhodes in Herringbone too. But, the Campbell Blazer is included in the promo.
If you missed it, see my review of the Cape Jacket in Wool Melton.
Have a Great Afternoon!
