I received the F&O Corduroy blazer yesterday (the one they emailed about last Friday). At $50, minus some store credit, it was a deal too good to pass up. Fortunately I was able to snag one in a 36R.
For the price, it was an awesome deal. Here are some initial thoughts. I'd be interested if anyone else has a perspective:
FIT: Of the three F&O blazers I've bought this is by far the slimmest. I'm 5'10" 145, so I'm a true 37. But typically that means I size down if I'm going for a trendy, slim fit. If anyone else is in the same boat, you might consider sizing up in this case, particularly if you plan on dressing up this blazer.
COLOR: While I was expecting a sandier brown, what I ended up with was deep chocolate. That's fine with me. Anyone else surprised at the difference in color on the website versus in person? This is a common issue I have with F&O.
QUALITY: It's fine, like all their stuff. While I have a hard time understanding how blazers can be $50 and shirts are only $5 less (and there are better-made shirts out there), certainly a $50 blazer is a good deal and a decent-quality item.
Overall, I'm pretty stoked about this deal. Anyone else less impressed with it?
