I'm 5'6, 125 lbs with broad shoulders. Size 6 fit, but I went with the eight for extra room in shoulders. I'll just move the button over for a tighter fit in the waist.

Love this blazer. Seems best suited for hourglass. I'm a 32D/34C, doesn't pull or lay odd. Any fuller would be too snug. Purchased every color, 6P & 4P, depending on my cycle or layers. However, the olive runs 1 size smaller than TTS, plus 1.25" longer than all other colors of same size and an 1" tighter in the waist. All other colors, and I bought 2 each, run TTS consistently. If you expect your TTS in this to run loose in the waist like linen clothes often do, you'll be disappointed. It's a tailored fit/cut, particularly if you cross your arms, button it, or both. It does slightly loosen as linen does, but not a half or full size. I have last year's more boxy, double-breasted, straight, loose waist white linen version of this. It's comfy, but looks better when buttoned; otherwise, it's more of an odd, casual to almost sloppy look unbuttoned, more for vacation than work. I wanted lightweight for work in hot, humid summers in/out of the office or walking between to other buildings.

I ordered 2 jackets in size 16. I took the advice of sizing up based on other reviews. Apart from the tag saying size 16, that's where the sizing match stopped. One fit perfectly and the other, I had trouble getting the button done up. I kept the one that fit and received numerous compliments.

I purchased the black and natural linen blazers in size P12. They fit me perfectly. I am a teacher and schools are not air=conditioned. These blazers can be worn on hot days with a tank or short sleeved tee. I have had many compliments. These blazers fit me just as beautifully as the Italian light weight wool blazers. The size and style has been consistent regardless of material for all of my blazer purchases.

The slim but relaxed fit is stunning. This blazer can be worn over skirts, slacks and shorts and only looks better as it ages.

This blazer is effortlessly polished. The slim cut is very flattering, and the linen fabric gives it a relaxed yet sophisticated feel. A versatile staple I'll be wearing for seasons to come. #sweepstakes

This company is horrible. They don't deliver items then deny a refund.

I purchased the blazer in three colors (the green didn't look good on me so I passed on that one), and I would buy more colors if they were available. At 5' and 107 lbs there aren't many professional options for petites. The blazer fits perfectly and is great paired with the matching pants. I've also worn it with jeans on the weekend. I know blazers and suits aren't as fashionable as they were a few years ago so companies don't offer as many, but for those of us who wear suits at work, I appreciate not having to wear my cool wool suits (also BR) year round. Thanks Banana Republic!

I followed the instructions and it still shrunk in the wash. The sleeves are now too short and I have to leave them rolled up, otherwise it looks horrible.
