Double-Breasted Cropped Blazer

A short-sleeve, double-breasted blazer cropped to sit at the high hip, with a notched lapel, flap pockets at the waist and a boxy, relaxed cut through the body. The elbow-length sleeves and open, unstructured shoulder make it read as a warm-weather layer rather than a tailored jacket, and the crisp cotton-blend broadcloth keeps its shape without needing shoulder pads or heavy interfacing. Worn buttoned, the double-breasted front gives it a bit more polish over a plain tee or cami; left open, it hangs looser and more casual over a dress. The cropped length pairs naturally with high-waisted trousers, shorts or a skirt.

A crisp, structured cotton-blend broadcloth that holds the notched lapel and flap pockets sharp while staying lightweight enough for short sleeves. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang to dry to keep the structure from going soft — avoid the tumble dryer, since heat is what causes cotton-blend broadcloth to lose its crispness over time. Iron on a low setting if needed, pressing the lapel flat rather than dragging the iron across it, to keep the notch sitting sharp.

Short sleeves and a cropped body use less fabric than a full-length, long-sleeve blazer cut from the same pattern block. The lightweight broadcloth also means less material overall per garment than a heavier suiting fabric would require for the same silhouette.
