Hello all, I've been working in Shanghai this summer and before I leave I'd like to get a navy linen blazer and had some questions for you guys about the make up of it. I have had a suit made at a reputable stall at the fabric market and trust them to make up the blazer. I want a slightly...

It does have a rather striking colour, however it does have one of the things which makes a jacket a blazer...gold metal buttons. Is this a blazer or a sport jacket?

I've just noticed something odd about the shape of the right lapel and collar on this blazer? Like it's sort of extended and appears to have a button hole. What's the idea about this? So one can button the thing right at the top? Seems a bit strange for a navy blazer.

What would you pick? I have $220 in assorted giftcards / awards to BB which makes shopping for a blazer there seem very amenable. I'm 5'9" 180, with basically all of that in the gut (alas). I wear a 42R. Right now I'm eyeing the: 1. Two-Button Classic 1818 Blazer 2. Three-Button Sack 1818...

I know that in continental Europe a blazer and a pair of flannel trousers are seen as elegant clothing for a formal dinner which doesn't require Black Tie or anything higher. The same would probably be true in the United States. However, when is it acceptable to wear a gold button marine single...

Okay, this is going to sound odd, but it is not a joke. When i was little, whenever i was wearing a blazer, or going to wear one, i was instructed to sit on it and do a couple of other things to make it look worn and wrinkled. I have always been wondering why one should do that with a blazer, am...

The topic says it in more ways than one. Given a navy blazer with brass (and nickel) buttons and charcoal trousers, what is the convention for wastcoats with blazers, and what colours should the waistcoat match or complement? A charcoal vest would be equivalent to replacing the jacket of a 3...

Hello everyone, I would like to order a traditional hopsack blazer from MyTailor.com but am unsure which of their fabrics would best suit this purpose. MyTailor is the only traveling tailor who visits us and I would like to have an idea of what I want before they come through town again...

I just added a hip length (sport jacket length) coat (wool&cashmere) in a medium dark brown color. Retailed for 189.00 purchase it for 99.00, and a black 3 button leather blazer, retailed for 375.00 purchased for 139.00. I always had an eye out for a medium dark brown outwear coat which felt...

Afternoon Everyone, I have several Vintage Quality Harris Tweed Sportcoat Blazers I'm listing on ebay ... I'm wondering if it's a little too early in the season to offer these? Last Autumn/Fall I saw several sell much higher than others ... Besides the demand for a popular size, what makes...

Greetings: I'm a typically under dressed IT worker. However, I've been cleaning up my wardrobe of late, and have learned a lot by searching this forum. I need a basic blazer to compliment my standard chino, ocbd, loafer 'uniform.' Of these two, which would you recommend: Lands End Hopsack...

My dad bought me a BB camel hair blazer. I used to wear it all the time until I started to realize that the only other people I'd see wearing one in my neck of the woods were all over sixty. I've been a little self conscious about wearing it out lately. Could you guys offer age appropriate...

I work in a field where wearing a suit is rare, but odd jackets would be better. I am trying to build a proper wardrobe beyond a blue blazer. What are the essential sports jackets?

(I'm not talking about suits--just blazers or sport coats.) I generally don't like vents. I'm not as slim as I would like and I think the "flaps" and the slight rise they create call unwanted attention to my rear end... I prefer the top garment to drape straight down. I have a couple of navy...

Hello, I'm purchasing my father a Brooks Brothers Blazer for his fiftieth and am considering between the 2-button 1818 Blazer and the 2-button Country Club Blazer. What makes the CC blazer worth $120 more? I dont see any huge differences in the descriptions, except that the 1818 is Loro Piana...

Hey all, I'm looking to make my first purchase for a good blazer. I'd appreciate any tips or suggestions. Background: I have three good suits. Two of the suits are from BB's MTM program -- one is navy and one is charcoal herringbone. Both suits fit well, but they are far from perfect...

I'm looking for an evening jacket and a suit. I will not be wearing this to work, this is strictly for pleasure. I know I like the neopolitan look. I was hoping to start a conversation on 2 button, 3 rolled 2 and 3 button blazers according to face shape, height and any other measurement that...
