Looking to buy first blazer - Page 3

^ Wearing a navy blazer with metal buttons in no way signifies you are in the navy. Fear not the older navy veterans.

It only took me 4 posts to get the reply, haha, I'll try better next time. For the record it was a general statement, regardless of button choice. My dad was a Navy man, so I try to do well by such things

As others mentioned and you've agreed, the blazer you purchased isn't a good fit.

As short on time as you are, I think anything you buy will likely be a compromise on either fit or quality or both.

If the navy suit jacket you have fits well, I would consider taking it to your tailor and changing out the buttons to whatever you prefer. You might even have him tweak the fit a bit while he's at it. When you need it to be suit coat again, just have him switch out the buttons then.

Then, you'll have time to find a good price on a good quality navy blazer that fits well for your next event.
