Hello! Intermix just had a special 20% off sale, and I bought the hot pink wool with gold button jacket in a 38, as I am normally a size 6. I tried it on at home and realized it was much too big, didn't cinch at the waist, and I could easily button it. I went in today to try a 36 and it fit perfectly. However, I tried it on in a white (20% wool, which was much less itchy!) with gold buttons. I loved the white as well! Which color would you choose for your first Balmain jacket? Hot pink is such a special color, but I am afraid it would be too recognizable and I won't get as much wear out of it. Plus, collar is slightly itchy on me. White is gorgeous but I'm afraid I may get it really dirty. Any help would be great! Thanks xx
Own both, and for me I bought same size. However, I have heard that for some, cotton ran smaller than wool.Does anyone know if there is a difference between Balmain wool and cotton blazers when it comes to sizing? I use a 42 in wool blazers, but am not sure if a cotton blazer fits bigger, smaller or tts.
You should go by shoulder width. Measure yourself and see which sz in cotton fits best. Waist you can get around by not buttoning, but shoulder has to fit perfectly. I have a feeling it's going to be 40, but do your research.I have red size 38 but the black denim is 40, I can tell you the red looks tight on me when I button them, but I guess the idea is to leave the jacket open !planning to buy the white cotton one, not sure which size should I go ?
Did you get your size 46 altered? Or do you just wear it that large?Hi ladies! So I bought a gorgeous blue one for around $700 (Saks sale) but all they had was size 46...needless to say, was way too big. Then I found a black on sale from Ssense - size 42 - a little big but comfy. Now am on the lookout for 40 or 42 again. Love it so much. Am debating between beige or dark blue velvet. The velvet is so gorgeous. Will post pics soon!
Thanks for this! Snagged one in my size.Limited time sale of longer version.
