This jacket has the sharpness of a blazer, thanks to traditional lapels, and the comfort of a cardigan, thanks to a stretchy-yet-structured knit material. Tie the sash at the waist to create shape through the torso, or wear the Merritt open for a more relaxed look. Stylist tip: To remove shoulder pads, simply pull the pads out through the small hole near the internal seam of the shoulder. Made in China with fabric from China. Excellent used condition
