Hey guys, in my seemingly never ending journey of dressing better I have come to a point to where I would like to start buying more blazers and sport coats. I recently purchased a used J. Crew Ludlow blazer for cheap and I know that J. Crew doesn't get a lot of love here but I couldn't pass it up. I am trying to build a wardrobe based on timeless, classic style. It seems the consensus is that the 2.5" lapel width on the J. Crew's Ludlow is too slim and will look dated in a few years. HOWEVER, I wear a 36S and those 2.5" lapels don't appear so small on that size. What's yall's thoughts? Is 2.5" lapels on a 36S still too skinny or is it about right? I've read it's all about proportions and that you can't take lapel width size by itself if that makes sense.
