Material
Faux Suede (likely a Polyester/Spandex blend). The texture shows a characteristic microfiber nap typical of synthetic suede products.
Condition
Very Good. The item appears clean with no immediate signs of pilling, stains, or heavy wear. The presence of a plastic fastener (likely from a secondary price tag) suggests it may have undergone professional resale processing which often filters for quality.
Demand Level
Moderate. Demand for this specific brand is steady but not 'hyper-viral.' Demand increases significantly in Autumn (September-November) due to the seasonal orange colorway.

Comparable Sales

Description
Bold burnt orange faux suede jacket from Insight New York. This contemporary size 18 blazer features a sophisticated open-front design with a structured collar and visible seam detailing for a tailored look. The vibrant 'pumpkin' or 'cayenne' hue and velvety texture make it an ideal transition piece for fall and winter layering.
Key Features
Vibrant trending color (Orange/Burnt Orange), Plus Size (Size 18), high-quality faux suede texture that looks like genuine leather, and a versatile open-front silhouette suitable for both professional and casual wear.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Insight New York is a mid-range department store brand; the woven brand labels and sizing tags are standard for the manufacturer. Made in China is expected for this brand.
Flaws to Note
Faux suede is prone to 'brushed' marks which can look like stains in photos; needs careful steaming. Check for 'shine' marks from ironing and examine high-rub areas like underarms for pilling.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark and eBay are the best venues. Poshmark is especially effective for mid-range boutique brands like Insight and for Plus Size fashion. Facebook Marketplace is a good secondary option for local sales.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Fall Harvest,' 'Dark Autumn,' 'Business Casual,' and 'Plus Size' in the title. Photography is crucial; use bright, natural lighting to ensure the orange doesn't look neon or muddy. Measure the armpit-to-armpit and length, as faux suede jacket fits can vary.
