This jacket was my winter staple! I could wear it to work and I could wear it out on the weekends. The leather sleeves are incredible and the cut of the jacket is super sexy yet classy enough for the biz meetings. Worship  this jacket!

This jacket is to die for. I want to buy it but I cannot find it anywhere!! It is pure perfection 

Fit like a glove, comfortable, flattering, and exactly what I needed with my jumpsuit. 

Obsessed with this blazer that adds flair to every outfit! 

For my birthday night out, I paired the tuxedo blazer with a very fun and flirty tulle dress to try and create a sexy masculine and feminine look.. I think it worked out pretty well.  

Some things of note - 
I am very short and have short limbs, so the sleeves were long on me. I cuffed them, and it looked fine that way. The #struggleisreal for us petite folks.
The shape of the jacket is very beautiful. It has 
strong shoulders and then tapers in to the waist, with a nice upward V in the back. I wish, however 
that the button closure was closer, to really 
dramatize the strong shape and cinch the waist.

But otherwise, a stylish and well made jacket. 

I rented this for my girlfriend for our wedding. The fit was slim but comfortable. For example, the leather sleeves are soft and supple. I even tried it on and love the rise in the back as it perfectly shows off a woman's curves while making its nod to a more masculine/traditional tuxedo jacket.  This is one to rent for any occasion when you want to feel special. 

This jacket was nice and warm for a cool fall day.  The faux leather sleeve treatment is attractive, as is the cut of the jacket-- high in the back and longer in the front.  The fabric is comfortable and seems strong. I wore this with the tulip bottom skirt from RTR and my cashmere shawl for the military honors and interment of my Dad's ashes.  I felt so confident and strong in this outfit!

I absolutely adored this jacket - such a stunner. The tailored fit makes it perfect to dress up a casual look and then easily transition to the evening. The body of the jacket is soft and quite warm, and the leather sleeves really punch it up a notch.  Of all the RTR pieces this would be one I would buy - it's easily an every day staple piece.

I paired it with jeans during the day while walking around the city and in the evening over a dress and it was perfection for both. I didn't want to send it back!

Paired with a black coated jean from AG and the RTR Black Mindy Tank from RTR Unlimited. (Textures galore!)

The combo felt fitting for an Aretha concert, but I was still surprised by the number of comments people made on this outfit. I tried to wear the jacket several other times (it's just that great), but couldn't find the outfits for what I had planned that week. (It would have been a bit of overkill for my office, but not everyone's.) ;) 

You could definitely pair this with all sorts of looks. Personal favorite was the hidden front button. When you've got that much going on detail-wise, it's nice to not have the button right out there on display. I will definitely be trying to get this again when cooler weather sets in!

Super cute! Loved it. Adds a flare to any outfit. It's just short in the back so unless you wear high waisted pants or a crop top, your shirt underneath will show. 

This is the third time I've rented this piece between my unlimited and regular rentals. Fits perfectly. Has long enough sleeves for the tall ladies also. The shorter back adds some welcome flair to the normal black leather blazer look. 

In LOVE WITH THIS.  It definitely had been wore and loved before I received it, but I was still happy with the overall quality.  The 4 fit me perfectly.  I wore this to my work gala, then to a daytime brunch fundraiser, out on the weekends, and to work.  This blazer is standout and elevates any outfit you are wearing.  I sent it back for fear that I would never return it and keep it forever.  Now, I'm missing it!

This jacket is absolute perfection. I ended up purchasing its little leatherless brother (couldn't find this exact model) because I couldn't live without it in my life. On 3 days I had it in my home, I wore it to a play date with jeans and a white t-shirt, to a date at a fancy restaurant with a super girly skirt (as pictured), and to a business meeting with a flowy top and black skinny pants. I have broad shoulders and jackets usually aren't my thing but this one worked great on me. I wore my usual size 8 (I typically size up for jackets because of said shoulders) and it looked like it was made for me. If you have a smaller built, I would size down. 

This jacket fits true to size and was very flattering on. I got so many compliments all night. I wore it with a black jumpsuit and it looked perfect. Wish I owned this piece! 

Helmet Lang is just so classic, I loved this little piece. The fit was true to size, the back does cut up high on your back. 

This jacket is a little "too" cool for me - I would have loved it if it were a little longer in the back.  I felt like because it was so high in the back, it was difficult to wear to work.  I did love it for nights out downtown NYC which gave me a little bit of edginess to fit in with all the other leather-wearers.  It is thick and warm and I liked the stretch in the arms.  I thought the closure was a little odd, there is only one button, which I did not use

It's such a comfortable fit and goes well dressed up or down. I wish I owned this!

I got this as part of my unlimited shipment and it was SO versatile, I could wear it to work meetings or add it to my outfit for a polished evening look.  Got tons of compliments, never wanted to return it! The fit is comfortable and structured.  

Love love love this jacket!! I would buy it if I could afford it! It was a perfect fit with the dress

I wish I could have kept this longer! I would still be wearing it!! I wanted something slightly dressy for Thanksgiving and this was perfect! This is super comfortable and was warm enough for the 50 degree day we had!

Wore this jacket to dress down a dress I had rented. It made me feel super confident. I could wear it with anything! Wanted to keep!

I'm pregnant and just starting to show, so I wanted a new blazer to wear to an evening work event as I'm not comfortable with letting it all hang out just yet (I'm in the phase of looking a smidge belly-chunky, not quite pregnant loooking yet!) I rented this gorgeous blazer to go over an LBD, and it was the perfect accent piece for the evening. I'd highly recommend for work events where you want to look professional, but still a little edgy and a touch sexy. Great price point too. I'll definitely rent it again. 

Size 6 almost didn't work, I'm btwn a 4 & 6 but I guess smaller on top. Pared this with a few dresses, would of really gone crazy for the 4 and certainly would have trouble sending it back. It works nearly everything.  I rented this jacket for 8 days, which is so fun to have it for fall weather. I think it looks great with dresses and jeans, all together gives such a fun look both professional and edgy.  I need to buy my whole outfit that I rented for my bday... This jacket, the RAOUL Everly Shift,  the CAMPBELLVendetta Hoops, and ELLA CARTER Lennon Ring. Just wow.  I felt on point. :)

This blazer is everything. Professional and cool, I wore it with ripped up jeans, a dress, black jeans, and tapered "work pants" and it looked great with all of them. None of my photos do it justice, but it was fantastic I assure you. In terms of size, I found it to be exactly the right size, not large like all the other reviews, but I am also tall so size for me means sleeves that are long and these were right for me. If you're tall, order your normal size but I guess go smaller if you're not so tall. 

It fit fine. It actually took away from my jumpsuit rental so I didn't really wear it; only when I was out side because it was a moderate breeze. 

I completely fell in love with this jacket as soon as I put it on. I'm 5'1 and 114 lbs. I rented a size 0 and 2 and the 0 fit the best. I wore it for my wedding rehearsal dinner and I got a ton of compliments. It is well made and dressed up any outfit. I loved it so much I wore it with my wedding dress. It also dressed up a casual outfit t-shirt/jean outfit. I would definitely rent again but wish I could buy it! I didn't want to return it!

I didn't catch a good picture but I wore it with black pants, a white casual tank, and a red statement necklace from Stella & Dot (that's me with our CEO). I would purchase this in a heartbeat!!! Fit perfectly, so comfortable, perfect amount of edge. 

Great jacket for the Lana Del Rey concert. Great fit! Received so many compliments. Would rent again!

I received this jacket in my unlimited shipment and absolutely love it! I took a size 2 and it fits great. Just a little loose, but works great over layers. I love the fit of the jacket and how it's cropped in the back. The jacket is very well constructed and the material feels very high quality. Won't be returning this jacket anytime soon! Highly recommended!!

Wore this piece constantly very versatile from day lunch to work to dinner 

This is the greatest blazer ever.  Takes your look to the next level.  Chic and Comfortable.  

I had a black romper in my closet, never wore it.  It never looked quite right.  Added this blazer and BAM! 

Update:  Loved this blazer SO much I bought it!

I wore this over the Smooth Criminal jumpsuit to a marine ball. This jacket is awesome. It's fitted but soft and stretchy. I wore it to a formal but it could just as easily go with jeans. Very versatile, a great choice for a special trip. I am typically a size 4, 5'3", 120 lb's with ample bust. The size 4 fit it all in. I absolutely loved this jacket!

I rented this for a trip to SF/Vegas as I figured I could get the most wear out of jacket over vacation vs one single night of a dress
Boy was this worth it, I rented the 8 and the 10 since sometimes my bust is an issue, while the 8 was a little snug across my shoulders the 10 was far too bulky so I went with the 8 
I wore it everyday, if I could marry this jacket I would! I was able to button the jacket (a rarity for us busty gals!) and it gave that extra little edge that I was looking for without being too bulky or hot
The back comes up a little but only a few inches above your waistline/not super cropped so it was very wearable with jeans/dresses etc
I got lots of compliments!!! Highly recommend and totally would love to buy this jacket in the future, it is AMAZING!
