    For the record (excuse the pun), Prince is the GOAT; no controversy with this statement. Extremely decent blazer too 👌🏼

      Tried my very best with this beautiful blazer but unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work.

      I am typically XXL, with a sprinkling of XXXL thrown in there as well.

      Sizing down to XL provided a really nice ‘fitted’ look, but unfortunately the sleeves looked ridiculous on me 😂

      This could be concealed if wearing a shirt underneath but ultimately becomes restrictive in terms of options of how to wear this beauty:

      There is material inside the sleeve that a tailor could potentially use to lengthen the arms. Unfortunately not enough for my go-go-gadget arms.

      So I then moved onto the XXL. As a few have mentioned, this can work across two sizes depending on whether you want a fitted or relaxed look.

      The XXL sleeves worked a lot better for me in length but the bigger chest resulted in movement issues. With the more low armpit style, unfortunately didn’t work for my dimensions in this more relaxed fit.

      I then took them to a tailor to see what they thought and it wasn’t overly positive/potentially quite costly. So regretfully they have both gone back in the end. You know when you have that uncertainty in your mind it’s time to let go…

      In summary, this is a blazer of pure beauty and style, and I am extremely jealous of all you normally proportioned hunks out there who can pull it off! Because I certainly can’t!

      Alas, my blazer journey continues…..

          Similarly to the above described, the measurements of size small didn't look like they'd work out for me, so I passed this time around even though I wanted to get one.

            @long_john86 sorry you couldn’t get the blazer to work for you, I did manage to get some spare fabric, but it looks like it wouldn’t be financially viable for tailor option.

            Pleased you liked the blazer though.

                @long_john86 sorry! It definitely doesn't fit. That slack up top would drive me bonkers.

                  Aww yeah! Beautiful SaturdayTypeFever sashiko blazer arrived just in time for the holidaze. Big thanks to the IH team James and Graham for helping with the sizing.

                      Did we ever discover the amount of fabric in the sleeves available to lengthen them? XL or XXL? My tailor asked me for pictures if anyone could oblige me?

                        @CosmoSix5 on the inside of the sleeve, there is 3cm of sashiko fabric before it joins the arm lining, so potentially there would be 2.5cm additional length you could achieve I guess. Because of the nature fabric you might have a slight fold mark from the sashiko's original fold, not too noticeable and I would imagine it would go with a pressing.

                            I seem to collect unstructured sport coats. It seems to fit in my world in tech. And I searched for a killer sashiko jacket outside of the trucker style; I found this... about a year too l late. Typical in my searches. haha

                            What are the chances for a restock? Or maybe even another jacket with a similar fabric?

                                    @Bobcat-Sig There will be another production run of the sashiko blazer, but before that will be a sahiko chore jacket (link below), just waiting for second sample, then that will go into production. I would expect these to launch July/August

                                      @Steve Love it! I'm probably more in for the blazer than the chore coat, but those samples and prototypes you've shown look amazing! Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye out.
