My Cape Blazer Jacket Upgrade: From Cheap to Chic

Finding the perfect cape blazer jacket was a journey! I started with the cheapest options, hoping to save money. But, I quickly learned that quality matters. Here's my story of upgrading to a blazer I truly love.

Stage 1: The Cheap Phase - A Blazer Disaster

My first attempt at getting a cape blazer jacket was a disaster. I went for the absolute cheapest option I could find online. It was less than $20. I thought I was getting a great deal. I was wrong.

The material felt thin and scratchy. The stitching was uneven. The fit was terrible. It was too tight in some places and too loose in others. It looked nothing like the picture online. I ordered a size M but it fit like an XS.

My first purchase was super cheap. It lasted maybe a few weeks. Then, the seams started to come apart. The color faded after only one wash. It was a total waste of money.

I learned the hard way that cheap isn't always the best. It's better to spend a little more for something that will last.

Verdict: Avoid super cheap blazers. They are a waste of money.

Stage 2: The Mid-Range Phase - Slightly Better, Still Not Great

After my cheap blazer failed, I decided to upgrade. I didn't want to spend a fortune, but I was willing to pay a little more for better quality. I bought a cape blazer jacket online for around $50.

The material was a little better than the first one. It felt a bit thicker and softer. The stitching seemed more secure. The fit was improved, but still not perfect. The shoulders were a bit too wide. The sleeves were a bit too long.

I upgraded to something mid-range. It was... okay. It was definitely better than the super cheap one. It lasted longer and looked a bit more presentable. But, I still wasn't completely happy. After a few months, I noticed some issues.
