@Horsecart no definitive date yet, but it is being worked on...
-
Holy Mary Mother of God I love this!!! @Steve please, please, please, make this in small?!

@ShaymenFX @Horsecart @BrianA @John-Galt @Skelly-0
I have a rerun of the blazer due in start of September with additional sizes (S, M, L XL, XXL) -
@Steve Great to hear - so hoping that the size S dimensions work - thanks!
-
Ooh excellent! Thanks Steve.

I'm currently searching for a simple and good quality Sashiko Blazer, but can't find a single one that could fit me.
I hope that the next run (which is hopefully restocked very soon) has a small size that has smaller shoulders, bigger chest and shorter overall length as well as shorter sleeve length. Wishful thinking, I know
Edited to add that these would very nice to have in black and brown additionally to the Indigo.

@cityofdelusion Have you considered buying one close to your size and having it tailored to fit? I know I've had issues in the past with jackets/blazers and a great tailor can perform magic with their skills.

@goosehd For almost the price of this blazer (maybe 150-200€ more), I would be able to get a two-piece, made-to-measure, 100% wool suit or five made-to-measure 100% cotton dress shirts. I've ordered the latter before and it actually worked out really well and the quality was surprisingly good/not bad. But to my knowledge, those kinds of websites don't offer textured fabrics like Sashiko and in this specific case, I can't wait a minimum of four weeks that it would take them for the production and etc.
Long story short: Buying this blazer for a comparable price as the aforementioned custom-made clothing AND spending extra on then having it tailored in multiple areas, messing with the integrity of the original product and design in various ways is a bit of a huge turn off. It's also one of the reasons why I either buy anything Iron Heart if I can be as sure as I can that it'll fit (making sure to measure, comparing with existing, similar clothing etc.) or not but at all, hoping for the next run to fit better or whatever may be the case.
-
...That said, I appreciate your suggestion! And hopefully my frustration with the struggle of things that I really like and want not fitting well didn't come across as me receiving your comment bad or something
-
@cityofdelusion well there will be S in this blazer in the next run, so hopefully the dimensions will work for you when they arrive later in September.
I presume a lot of places don't offer fabric like sashiko because they cost so much per metre for them to buy.
-
@Steve Fingers crossed that the measurements work out well! And great job on taking a risk and covering a very niche area. I really like the design and functional pockets and would, if the measurements worked well, be delighted to have this and probably at least a black one in my wardrobe for those times when I need to dress business casual/casual.

Is the sleeve length normal IH measurement technique? Seam to cuff? Seems just long enough but it depends on the cut. Whether or not this lanky guy can reach for anything or if I get arrested and have to put my hands up?
