Review: J Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Tipped Linen

Finally, as promised, I'm getting around to my review of the Schoolboy Blazer in Tipped Linen.

How much time have we got?  I LOVE this blazer!  Fit, shape, color, everything!  The only downside that I can possibly see, is that the linen material may wrinkle easily.  I'll have to follow up on that tid-bit.


This blazer is 100% linen.  It is flax in color and accented in black grosgrain trim.  The buttons are covered in the same grosgrain fabric.  It is fully lined in a cute striped material.  If you choose to turn back the cuffs, you have the charming contrast of the stripes against the linen.



The fit is tts...I took my normal schoolboy size.  and with the neutral coloring, I think it will be very versatile.  It is also lightweight, so it should be a great spring/summer wardrobe addition.

What are your thoughts on J Crew's Schoolboy Blazer in Tipped Linen?

    I adore this! It's put-together but still kind of cas because it's linen. The trim is perfect!
