"I ordered this in navy. It is so versatile it goes with everything. Brilliant weight."
"Beautiful quality jacket, which looks ultra smart - ready for a formal event, yet would easily look great in a casual environment. I am a size 16 and ordered the XL size, in order to have plenty of room to wear over other clothing, and it was plenty generous. My only issue was that, although the cream cotton covers which you put the garments into are lovely, as the jacket was black, it was covered in small cream fluff. It came off easily with a light brush but just did not look optically good when I took it out of the packaging. I have numerous cotton sweaters purchased from you and they wash and wear wonderfully!"
"A very comfortable and flattering cream blazer, which will go with a variety of clothes …dresses, trousers shorts and skirts. I have a couple of cardigans from Paul James in size small, but needed to buy a regular length size medium in the blazer. Very pleased with this blazer."
"A great jacket."
"Have been looking for a lightweight jacket to dress up or down and this fits the bill. I’m petite at 5 feet 1 inch so opted for the shorter style - thankfully it fitted well. The only criticism is that measurements for each jacket length aren’t included in the garment description. Another reviewer mentioned they had to call customer services for the shorter jacket length and sleeve measurements. Would be really helpful to have these on the description as I think customers would be put off not having that information readily available. That’s the only reason I’ve given 4, rather than 5 stars."
"Love it. Smarter than a cardi but less than a jacket. Useful for traveling"
"Perfect 👌🏼"
"Very smart and comfortable spring/summer jacket. 5 stars!"
"I like it. It is a substantial weight cotton knit. I am m 1. 67 tall and I have long arms. I am size UK 6. The blazer in size XS is I would say a size UK 8 or more, but it still looks ok on me. I wish the sleeves would be longer though. But all the jumpers I tried from Paul James so far have sleeves too short for me. I bought the Regular blazer. The Long version was out of stock. It would have been longer both in body and sleeves. They send you the exact measurements if you ask. I found them having a good customer service."
"Lovely Jacket Ageless"
