STF-SBZR-IND - STF Sashiko Blazer - Indigo

@CosmoSix5 I think we are a similar height(6’4’’) and my arm span is longer than I am tall. The sleeves are just workable for me, but on the shorter side of what I’d like

@Ross @Steve Could the dimensions chart be updated to include the size small dimensions? Thanks in advance!

[Ross]

@John-Galt Sorry, not sure why the new sizes were missed but we'll get the chart updated with all possible dispatch

Size Chart Updated

@CosmoSix5 read my mind.
@Alex is there any excess material on the return of the sleeve cuff that a tailor could potentially use to lengthen the sleeve? I have had this done on blazers in the past with good results.
Need this ‘smarter’ option in my life!

@long_john86 I have checked and there is enough spare fabric for longer sleeves. Let me know if you'd like me to request some

Cheers @Steve , PM’d

Let me know what length you get on that sleeve. Thanks!

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

Iconic.

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.

@Steve cheers Steve

[CosmoSix5]

@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.

[Steve]

Looks good on you @Jen-R-L-Good

[CosmoSix5]

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?
