Men's Three-Button Suede Leather Blazer in Brandy, Dark Brown or Tobacco - Regular & Tall

I had a PERFECT leather jacket. I loved it. But I lost 150 lbs and it didn't fit any more. It was a very expensive Eddie Bauer jacket and I desperately wanted to replace it but couldn't find the same item at the present time. Then, bam, this one showed up on Amazon. The price was a third of the price of the Eddie Bauer jacket and it is great. The weight is perfect for using as a sports coat and a light weight fall jacket to wear outside. I could not be more pleased. If you're on the Queen Mary 2 in October you will see me wearing it to dinner on the informal nights. Great buy, don't pass it up.

Really great deal for the money. The jacket has a strong smell at the beginning but it disapates if you let it air out. My husband really liked it.

My first surprise was that this "suede leather" blazer was pigskin, not cowhide. Of course the online description didn't specify, a clever omission. Still, I would have been satisfied enough with pigskin if the coat had not been so needlessly wrinkled when it arrived. Ever try to get the wrinkles out of an old hog? Leaving it in the bathroom while I lingered in a nice hot shower did nothing. Neither did brandishing a steam iron an inch or two from this porker. Then I heard that just wearing it would help, so I wore it. Guess what? It didn't make much difference. So I've decided to keep it anyway. It goes with my face.
