Overall high quality but one major flaw
Overall this is a very nice jacket. The stitching appears to be of high quality, and the supima cotton is very soft, almost luxurious.
Some notes:
- Fit: the fit runs small. I ordered 3 sizes of this jacket (2 Tailored Fit and 1 Traditional Fit) and the 42R Tailored Fit is the one that worked for me, even though I'm normally a 40R. Definitely read the "Item Dimensions" PDF on the product page in the More Information section, it's very helpful.
- The breast pocket is a little wonky. It is not a uniform cut: it is narrower at the top than at the bottom, and the opening is slanted at an angle (instead of being perfectly perpendicular to the dart on the left side) sloping from the shoulder downwards toward the lapel. I don't believe this is a mistake; as I mentioned above I ordered 3 different sizes of this jacket and all 3 had the same "feature".
The fatal flaw of this jacket is that it is FULLY lined. I'm not sure why LE designed it this way. The full lining makes this jacket fairly heavy and fairly warm, even though it's clearly meant as a summer jacket. I haven't field tested it in hot weather but I doubt it would do well. I would have strongly preferred a half-lined jacket, like the LE pincord blazer (which I own) which does great in hot weather. Unfortunately I may be returning this simply because of the lining. Hopefully LE gets the design right next year.
