Do not buy a new blazer until you read this review. Velvet is a great material, but cheap velvet looks bad quickly. We tested several brands so you do not have to waste your money. We looked for quality that lasts.
I spent two weeks testing four different brands of velvet blazers for ladies. I wanted to find the jacket that gave the best structured look. A good blazer needs to feel heavy enough that it hangs right, but not so heavy that it is uncomfortable.
The goal was simple: Find a velvet blazer that looks like a high-end designer piece but comes with a realistic price tag. Many cheaper blazers use very thin velvet. This makes the color look patchy, and the material fades after just one dry cleaning session.
We judged each blazer based on three main criteria. If a jacket failed one criterion, we marked it down fast. Quality matters more than price when it comes to structured outerwear.
We felt the velvet pile. Is it soft and dense? Or does it feel thin and patchy? Thin velvet means thin plating, and that will fade in one week. We looked for thick, deep velvet that holds the light well.
We looked at the shoulders and lapels. A good blazer should have stiff, well-made shoulders that stand up straight. We focused on double-breasted styles, which need stronger internal construction.
We weighed each jacket. A lighter blazer often means less fabric and a cheaper, polyester lining. We looked for jackets near 600g or more. This showed the material was high quality.
We compared Mozaer against three other leading brands:
Verdict: Mozaer hit the sweet spot. It was not the cheapest, but the quality of the velvet and construction put it far ahead of LuxeLine, which offered poor material.
