Green Plaided Blazer

This green plaid blazer is exactly what I needed for Howard's spring gala last month. The Italian wool is lightweight enough for April but still structured. Fit true to size at 42, and I didn't need alterations—shoulders hit perfect.

Wore this to my cousin's naming ceremony in Bowie and then to brunch twice after. Spring weight is real—not heavy at all, but the canvas construction in the chest keeps it looking sharp. Paired it with cream slacks and it elevated the whole fit. 40 is my size and it's perfect.

Grabbed this for rotation at work in DC. The plaid pattern reads sophisticated without being too loud. I'm a 44 chest and it runs slightly slim through the shoulder—Stanley's team took care of it in the alteration, no extra charge. Solid piece.

Wore this as a guest at a wedding in DC last month. The green plaid caught light all night—very intentional without being loud. Spring weight is no joke; I stayed comfortable through dinner and dancing. True to size at 38. This is exactly what the atelier does best.

The blazer itself is well-made—Italian wool feels premium and the tailoring is clean. My only hesitation is the green plaid pattern. It's a statement piece, which is great if you want it. For me, I'm still figuring out when to reach for it versus something more neutral. 42 fit me true.
