J.Crew announced that they are now offering the Regent Blazer (item B0323; $198.00) in Navy. This jacket is well rated (4.5 out of 5 stars) so I am honestly surprised that this jacket was not already being offered in Navy.
I feel like this is the type of jacket you either love or hate, with no in between. It either looks good on you or it doesn't.
What are your thoughts on the Regent Blazer from J.Crew? Are you excited to see it comes in Navy now?
Still not crazy about the collar. I prefer the Hacking Jacket from a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Rose about the collar. I prefer a classic style like on my navy schoolboy blazer.
ReplyDeleteI like it....not love but like. Have I orderd it....no. This probably does mean its not a keeper for me.
DeleteThis is totally off the subject of the regent blazer, but so excited I have to post.
ReplyDeleteI was just able to order the sophie elephant parade loafer and the sophie calf hair loafer, both 50% off the sale price. I will be on pins and needles to see if they ship. The size 8 was not showing online but when I called to see if they could check the stores, they said they showed one in stock in each style so they put the order through. If you see something, it might be worth a shot to call and double check over the phone. I was shocked when she said she had the elephant parade and then super shocked when she said she had the calf hair as well. Just holding my breath for the shipping confirmation email.
Got the Regent in dark gray with the hunter green piping on the collar last year. Didn't expect to like it all that much but after trying in store , promptly fell in love. The collar gives it an instant edge and makes it stand out from the sea of plain dark work jackets.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it on..since stores doesn't carry petite sizes, I would have to order it online to try on. But looking at the stock photos online, I like the cut of the Regent. I have nothing to say about the collar, till I try it on. The navy color is on my wishlist, and I might just order it using my rewards card.
ReplyDeleteHate it, boxy and long + no structure. If this replaces the school boy, whose navy version is my staple, I will not be happy!

ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan. The fit is very unflattering on me, whereas the schoolboy is a fantastic fit. I really really hope they do not replace the schoolboy with this!!!
ReplyDeleteI just left my store and they were marking down sale merchandise, but even with that there was nothing enticing. I do wonder if there will be some consolidation, instead of racks of random pieces. I was in the concept store as well earlier and they had some new pieces with navy and deep red as the predominant color scheme. But, the pieces looked somewhat similar in shape to the fall collection. All of the shoes seem rather hard to wear., especially the cut out/ d'orsay style . I am still crossing my fingers.
ReplyDeletei love the fit of the regent and have it in the thicker wool versions, but its just too cold in nyc to even be thinking about blazers at this point. plus i got my navy blazer needs covered by my schoolboy. maybe when spring comes i'll be picking one up in a bright color ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Regent Blazer! There is a new chambray Regent Blazer in retail stores now.
ReplyDeleteI love it too though I don't own it ... yet. Looking to get the heather charcoal with my rewards card.
ReplyDeleteI adore the Regent blazer - the popped collar gives it some edginess and cool!
