The THREE BUTTON BLAZER in the CREPE fabric, A221808, has returned and is available to be ordered……………..The new color is……………..PEWTER…………The Pewter jacket is adorned with GUNMETAL SIGNATURE BUTTONS. Many of you have this jacket in the colors that were offered in the past, and the reviews are terrific. This is now the third or fourth year, [can’t remember they are flying by], I will be offering this jacket to you. All of the details are listed on the Linea site. This is a fully lined, TAILORED jacket with three patch pockets. Due to the crepe fabric it is a SOFT jacket…it does not have a crisp or rigid hand. It looks like a jacket “Made in Italy”, especially in this pewter color. I have it shown above with the matching trouser pant, A253576, which has an inseam of approx. 32 1/2 inches with a 1 1/4 inch usable hem [with a hem tape attached], and a 10 inch bottom opening…..so they are very languid soft trousers. They have a front zip….no pockets….of course elastic in the waist band. The tank is the reorder of the FLECKED TANK, A22478, in the new color……SILVER GREY……………PERFECT with this suit…….The necklace is the J287999 in the SILVER TONE….It has clear faceted stones with silver metal beads and silver pearls…….again….perfect with this suit…..fragile, light, elegant, sophisticated…..and still makes a strong statement……it is still avail, but there are very few left….the pink version sold out long ago and frankly I’m surprised there are any of this color left….I’m sure not for long………….Remember……these are SPORTSWEAR pieces, and though you can wear this Pewter as a suit, you should also separate the pieces and use with other things you own. The pant is easy to put with other things you have. The jacket needs a little imagination. The most obvious would be a white shirt to WK sweater and a black bottom…..That is a fabulous timeless look and always CHIC. Pair it with Ivory crepe trousers, which are new and will be avail on the April show, and any color WK sweater……from ivory, butter, perfectly pink. lavender, mint aqua….to stronger colors like RED…..You must make your clothes WORK for you no matter what your lifestyle is…a white T-shirt, a pair of jeans and flats would work for anyone………………………..scroll down………………..enjoy…………………..much Love…………………………….Louis
Hi Louis,
A 10 inch bottom opening is a slim pant, but you described them as languid and soft. Are these slim pants? I hope so!
I checked online, and the bottom opening for past slim pants (A217972) is 13 inches in my size. Most of your pants are too full cut for me, but these were fantastic – I own them in the black and olive. Really nice pants!
Dear enjay….sorry for the confusion. When ever I give a pant opening measurement it’s always on the half. I measure the pant on a table folded flat. So a 6 inch opening isn’t 3 inches, it’s twelve. Likewise a 10 inch opening is 20 inches in circumference…..sorry it’s not what you were hoping for. If you want to go through the trouble you can always have a tailor take it in to the opening you prefer. It’s actually an easier alteration then it sounds for the unlined pants.
Just received my pewter blazer and love it. The fit, of course, is just perfect (like all the other colors of this blazer which I already have). Since I don’t do well with the pull-on pants, I am really looking forward to the trousers. I love grey so thank you for doing all these beautiful grey pieces this year.
Hi Louis,
I type too fast… Will these pants be in numerical or letter sizing? Thanks for your quick responses; it helps us plan for the upcoming season.
Regards,
Chris
Numerical….more and more the woven fabrics are numerical and the knits are sml
I’m just happy pants were purchased!! 🙂
I guess I might as well be the one to ask…with the inseam being so long, will there be petites in the pants? Fingers crossed…
Dear Sherry unfortunately no. This pant really should have come in petite lengths but because it only came in one length I made them as long as the Q would allow. At least this way some of my taller women would have the chance of getting a matching suit, especially with the 1 1/4 hem. I’m sorry my petite ladies will once again have to hem, but the aqua and grey are not lined so it’s an easy alteration……only the ivory are lined.
I so love it when the Q buys petites…especially the 29″ish length. I don’t have to do anything to them…I at least have a serger and can hem them myself…it’s just having to do so.
I’m with Jane and Chris…thanks for all the grays this year and thankful that the Q bought the pants this year! Even without petites…I’ll live. LOL
