The verdict
Fit
Black Sky Melange knit blazers have the fitted, defined silhouette of knit tailoring. Size true for a polished look; allows comfortable layering over shirts.
Quality
The melange treatment suggests a polyester-blend knit, typical for this price. Expect pilling on the shoulders and underarms after frequent wear.
Is the price fair?
At $198, this is fairly priced for a branded knit blazer in a neutral tone. Marked as best seller and back in stock, suggesting proven appeal.
Best for
Smart-casual, business-casual, and anyone needing a neutral-toned structured layer that feels less formal than a woven blazer.
Care
Hand wash or dry clean; machine washing will distort the fit.
Fit check: Faherty
True to sizeFaherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.
Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.

What owners report about Faherty jackets & outerwear
Third-party coverage of Faherty's jackets specifically is thin — most independent reviews center on the brand's shirts and knits, with outerwear mentioned in passing. What exists is positive on materials and comfort: one long-term reviewer expects his Teton Jacket to last generations, and brand-level write-ups say the fabric quality is a real step above typical mall brands. The recurring drawbacks are price — reviewers note outerwear can push past $300 — and relaxed, boxy cuts that at least one owner paid to have tailored.
- Strengths
- Soft, comfortable fabrics and casual designs that long-term owners describe as pieces they expect to keep for years.
- Watch out for
- Price is the most common complaint, and the roomy, boxy fit sends some owners to a tailor.
- Sizing
- Reviewers report true-to-size but relaxed fits; one owner found the fit "a little large and boxy for a normal medium" and had it tailored.
