Helena blazer in Chelsea linen-cupro blend

I bought last month I am 5'7' and 90 lbs bought a s boxy in the body great color shoulder perfect sleeves wider than necessay

I purchased this blazer in white. I liked the color. It wasn’t a dark white. It was a pretty creamy white. I felt that it fit a little tight in the shoulders wasn’t as comfortable as J.Crew blazers usually are. The shoulder pads seemed a little off too.. just not impressed with this one.

Bought this for my parent and looks very stylish and fits right on size!

I really wanted to love this blazer. I did. Until I wore it with the matching lined pants in 75-80 degree weather and couldn’t wear it for more than 45 minutes. It was unbearable with the polyester lining. I had initially read the reviews so I knew the blazer was lined in polyester, but I thought, “What’s the big deal?” It’s a sauna. I don’t know what the thinking is behind a polyester lining besides reduced cost, but I’d be willing to pay more for a better lining that doesn’t overheat your body and leave you with a thin layer of moisture. And why fully lined? It’s a summer blazer!

The upside. This is a beautiful soft linen mix jacket, with a flattering fit in a gorgeous color. However it creases very easily. Spraying it with water causes the creases to drop out temporarily, but you still have to be careful with it if you don't like the creased look. For me the main disappointment is in the nylon lining (as mentioned in another review). Why put a lining that doesn't breathe in what could have been a beautiful lightweight summer jacket!

Just received this after ordering on sale. True to size (size 10: 5’8” and 152 lbs), in the papaya which is a fun, summer/spring watermelon color and perfect for layering over a tee and pairing with jeans.
