Talbots Wool Blend Tailored Jacket

Treat yourself to something special with this glorious tailored jacket by Talbots. Featuring a stately Bal collar, it's made with a soft, lightweight and breathable blend of 60% polyester and 40% wool. Plush and lithe, the fabric is beautiful and sports a chic, classic black color. Large polished gold buttons run down the front and close the two front patch pockets, creating dazzling relief. Faced with black fabric, the high-quality buttons offer an elegant look. The blazer's sleeves display a unique and magnificent bit of construction, using a raglan style (as opposed to a traditional shoulder seam) with two panels that end in angular seams near the collar (see pictures 7-9). This pattern lends such a cool detail to the garment and results in an extraordinary shoulder/sleeve shape. Subtle shoulder pads are carefully sculpted inside to maintain the soft, rounded shoulders while also helping to define the silhouette and keep the fit refined. Expert tailoring and darts form an understated hourglass shape that's extremely flattering, while a seam that runs around the front and back visually delineates the waist, crafting an illusion that cinches it. This timeless jacket can be dressed up or down, worn to work with a pencil skirt or slacks or on the street with flared jeans and boots or heeled sandals. You can substitute it for a blazer whenever you want a unique alternative! Seasonless and sophisticated, this is one for the books (and your closet)! Excellent condition!
