~ Sustainability & Climate Note:
The clearest sustainability measure for this item is life extension: choosing a pre-owned blazer keeps an existing garment in use and may reduce demand for new production and textile waste. A precise CO₂, water, or energy savings figure cannot be calculated from the garment details alone because transport, cleaning, storage, and what this purchase replaces all affect the result.
