Which Brooks Brothers blazer is this? Critique fit please! - Page 2

If you like it, if it fits you, and the price is right, go for it.  Personally I prefer a lower button stance, and i'm not a fan of the patch breast pocket, but again; that stuff is completely subjective.

@Mikey, here's my 2 cents while not an expert, the jacket is too big. The fact that you think this is a deal does not warrant to rationalize it as a great purchase. A deal is only a deal if it fits, unless you plan to flip it. Deals and sales are far wide and often and it doesn't necessarily translate to great buys. Be patient and try to nail down your size/cut first.

Excellent advice and point ! Thank you so much ! I think I'll take a trip to the city to check out epaulet. Any other places to try ? Maybe actual brooks brothers ? There's one right by me.

+1 on Steve's comment. What's the inside of the blue tag on the sleeve say? I bet it's from Nordstrom, looks like that label.

I can't speak to Epaulet, but the Howard Yount stuff, while awesome, is definitely built for smaller men. If you're not one, I'd avoid it.
