I do not have that, but that price is right!! Herein lies the rub...It's a linen/cotton unlined blazer IN OLIVE. Olive is NOT a summer color and linen/cotton are summer fabrics. That thing is SUCH a good price, if only it was in navy or khaki. I would buy two. 40L is my size, as well...

I'm really really late to this thread but here's my review:


Vitals

5'7"

165lbs

38S-40S, 33x29


- The jacket runs short and the sleeves only needed to be taken up a smidge for my T-Rex arms.

- The sleeves have working buttons. Thankfully, the sleeves run fairly short.

- The shoulders have no padding.

- It is a 3-roll-2 lapel. 3 buttons, lapel rolled over the top button so only 2 show. Works for me.

- The body has the BR Tailored Fit "shape" to it, but it still runs big at the sides. Will need to get it taken in.

- Jacket is light and unlined, has a slight sheen to it, and has patch pockets and stitching galore. This is a VERY casual blazer. Good for California Autumns wherein the color would match the season but won't be too warm.
