Beautifully styled, this waist length Size 2 St. John Collection by Marie Gray dark navy blue Santana Knit blazer is SJK chic classic. The label inside shows "St. John Collection by Marie Gray Size 2, Made in USA". Even if you didn't spot the SJK label, this jacket is easily identified as a St. John Knit with a look always coveted by those who want style that is timeless, traditional and elegant.
The size label shows the Size as 2, however please use these un-stretched measurements to make sure this will fit you well. Remember that, as with all santana knits, there is some stretch available.
Shoulder to shoulder is 15 and 1/2 inches.
Sleeve length is 22 inches, with the under arm length at 16 inches.
Bust size is 36 inches.
Hemline width is 40 inches (note the back pleat which explains this measurement).
Complete length is 19 and 1/2 inches.
In the front there are eight buttons, in two parallel sets of purely decorative gold tone metal
St. John logo buttons along the front zipper.
The front zipper pull is a gold tone metal rectangle that also has the St John logo.
Each sleeve has two decorative buttons near the cuffs plus a 1 and 3/4 inch bottom slit.
Of course this blazer can be worn fully zipped all the way to the V-style neckline, partially zipped or completely unzipped. Each version is shown in these pictures.
As you can see in the last two photos where the back is shown, the back side has a deep center pleat, which makes for a comfortable fit.
Navy blue is such a traditional color, worn in every season, and with this shaped feminine style SJK you will look fabulous no matter how you choose to wear this.
There are no internal shoulder pads in this blazer, so it has a more natural shoulder line.
Featuring a nubby texture, the fabric content is the typical vintage SJK santana knit, with a mix of 80% wool and 20% rayon. For the future, this garment must be dry cleaned.
With its classic SJK look, this terrific navy blue short blazer can be worn with everything from a basic skirt, dress, pants and also with denim for a more dressed-down occasion. In fact the contemporary way to wear SJK pieces is to mix them with other high-end or everyday fashions such as Levi's, just as women have been wearing their Chanel blazers for some time.
In Excellent Vintage Condition, this is "As New", with no stains, holes, or odors. All buttons are intact, the zipper functions perfectly and there is no unraveling anywhere.
The cuffs, neckline and the underarms are clean.
In some photos I show it with a colorful vintage scarf that has navy blue as a color so you can judge the color better for yourself. That scarf will be sent as a bonus to the new owner of this blazer.
This vintage SJK comes to you freshly cleaned, from a home with no pets and no smokers.
This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Bradenton, FL.
