Seems like it's a pretty basic item, but I've struggled to find one of reasonable quality. Tried one from amazon, but the quality was poor. Brooks Brothers has one, but in a lighter brown. I'm looking for dark brown. I can spend up to around $200. Any suggestions? Thanks.

They are pretty common in thrift stores. Worth a look if you got one near you.

In addition to thrift stores, you can usually find good stuff on Etsy. I was appalled to see J. Press charging $695 for one. Thirty years ago I shopped at Press a lot and felt I got good value. Those days are long over for me.

How timely! Three days ago (as I reported in the Thrift Store Blues and Brags thread) I found an entire three-piece corduroy suit in a colour, a shade of chestnut, that had long eluded me, and in a conservative cut (not precisely Trad, but close). This was at the local Goodwill. The suit appeared to be NOS, unworn. You can take a look at my description in that thread if you like. I paid $15 for the entire suit. I'll wear it separately, not as a suit, but I love the look of chestnut corduroy jackets with grey flannels. The trousers will go well with odd jackets or navy blue blazers. The vest can also be used independently over a shirt, along with jeans or cotton trousers in a casual rig.

Just saw an ad for a company named Onsloe which has a dark brown corduroy sport coat and I recalled your post. Not sure if this is what you want but it just popped up on a FB ad. Good hunting.

I've had recent luck (it's the end of season) with Ralph Lauren (Dept. store brand) corduroy sport jackets from Macy's. Just Google and you'll find some deals.
