I've been looking for a new blue blazer and stopped in Brooks Brothers today. I normally wear a 38s and decided to try on a boys size 20. It fit pretty much the exact same as the men's blazer. In fact, it may have even been about an inch shorter than the 38s, which was nice, because a short is still usually about an inch or so too long for me. It's made from Loro Piana fabric, like the men's blazer. I actually thought it had a few nice details, including patch pockets (including a breast patch pocket) and pick stitching on the lapels. It made it a little more exciting than a standard blazer. At full price, it was just under $200. Does anyone have any experience buying a boy's blazer, sports coat, or suit from Brooks Brother? Are they made by the same manufacturer (Southwick?) as the men's line?
