GRAPENT Womens Business Casual Buttons Pockets Open Front Blazer Suit Cardigan

Beautiful, fully lined jacket. Read more

I purchased the GRAPENT Women's Golden Spice Yellow Business Casual Buttons Pockets Open Front Blazer Suit Cardigan Outerwear Small (Fits US 4-US 6). It fits as expected, like a light suit jacket or blazer, with structure and lining. The garment is hand wash cold or dry clean only, do not tumble dry or bleach, cool iron if needed. The quality of this garment is very similar to a cheaper department store off the rack light or summer type blazer or jacket. It would also be appropriate to wear in winter over a sweater. Material and construction: The care tag says 100% polyester, and gives no separate breakdown for the outer jacket and liner. The outer jacket has the look of cotton with a sheen, and feel of woven modal. The jacket including the sleeves is fully lined, with more of a woven polyester/silky feeling. There are thin shoulder pads and full pockets, both sewn between the outer garment and liner, and done well enough that neither are obvious or visible. The buttons look metal but are light weight (and thus don't affect how the jacket hangs). They are purely decorative, and there is a hook and eye clasp closure at the waist. Since I haven't washed it yet, I cannot tell if the jacket was constructed with interfacing or not. It has a nice stiffness to it like it does, and the jacket structure holds its own weight up. Fit: The jacket holding its own structure and shape means that if you don't want the outline of every unsightly bulge or bump to show, whether from your own body or wearing chunkier winter clothes underneath, this lightweight jacket will hide those and give you a structured silhouette. This garment fits as expected, with enough give to wear the types of clothes or blouses you would typically wear under a suit jacket. I'm 5'4", 15" broad at the shoulders, 23" arms, 15" from base of neck to waist, 34" bust, 31" waist, and 37" hip. This jacket fits perfectly. There is plenty of length in the arms, hitting right at the CMC joint of my pinkie and thumb (my arms are on the shorter size, and I've noticed that internet clothes often cut arms too short for even me). The jacket length is nice, hitting below my pants pocket opening but above the fullness of my butt. The waist closure hits at my natural waist. Comparisons to other brands/sizes: The fit is roomier than the other jackets I own (which are getting snug in the waist thanks to Covid and gym closings but still fit me in the shoulders): Tahari size 4, Anne Klein size 2, New York & Co 7th Ave Design Studio size 2, Worthington size Small. These days I'm typically a size 4-6 in Ann Taylor (not Loft) or White House Black Market, middle age weight distribution, and I'd say the fit of this jacket matches that size 4-6 profile exactly. (Ann Taylor Loft is too petite for me, typically hitting 1" or more short of my natural waist, so I'm comparing to size 4-6 of old school AT, now out of business.) Read more

Good quality. Runs small by at least a size, if not two. Read more

Comfortable, stylish and can dress it up or casual. Read more

I spent hours researching a good Fall Jacket w/Military feel. I didn't want to spend a lot so this won. Sadly, the fit is weird- I'm 5'7'' 180lbs. The design is ok but too big in the upper chest, only ONE small hook at waist- not strong. I liked the idea of Military vertical silver buttons but they are sewn on poorly. Amazon smashes this in a plastic bag- could not properly remove sleeve wrinkles even w/a STEAMER! It's a MID-weight fabric which is ok. Lined is a plus but the sleeves were 1'' too LONG & I have long arms lol. I could've gotten away w/a thin sweater under but I'm returning bc they didn't bother to MATCH the PLAID on the front! I do NOT recommend this. Read more

Ok. 3rd jacket. 3rd return. 3rd complaint. 3rd time to say I love this jacket and hate to give this review. Each jacket has fit perfect but has had pen marks on it. I have been very specific and included pictures and each one has come back with more pen marks. I have received the jackets within 24-48 hours and love the fit, material and color. However will not risk trying to have the pen marks removed! The time and frustration of returning and purchasing again is annoying. I will just go without. Don’t waste your time. 3rd time was not a charm! Read more

I want to thank Grapent for making such a special jacket. I really love their quality work. Two thumbs up. Read more

I absolutely love this jacket. I can’t imagine anyone not loving it. Maybe the buttons aren’t brass but they look really good and the jacket is very inexpensive. It’s a very good value cute as can be. Read more
