What is it - precisely - you want to find? The same color? The same fit on a mannequin? What? Simply posting a picture doesn't really give us enough to go on.
To the extent that the picture shows a jacket, shirt, and tie, in excellent lighting and with effective contrast, displayed to excellent effect on a non-human model, and quite probably with at least some Photoshopping and maybe a few pins and clips in back, I'd say you can find something similar in any of 100 other places where you wouldn't have to shell out anything like $4k to Brioni.
But perhaps there's some extraordinary feature about it which I'm failing to notice.

I didn't mean to be so vague but cant find that color blue in an Italian/euro cut jacket that isn't made by Armani or some other form over function house. Looks a like a light-navy.

You need to be careful as monitors can distort colour unless of high quality such as Apple Retina 5k examples; only then unless they have been calibrated. What is so special about that blue? It looks vulgar to me.

Yup. As GBR notes, color calibration is key.
Also, the image may itself have had its colors intentionally "tweaked" a bit, perhaps for a more pleasing contrast with the necktie.
Unlike GBR, I wouldn't call that shade of blue vulgar. It strikes me as more of a fashion blue, than a classic blue, true. And not really to my taste, for all that it might look striking in a picture. But I've seen far worse, and have little doubt that a pop culture celebrity could find occasions in southern California where that shade of blue would serve nicely. 'Course, that's sort of damning it with faint praise, but then I'm suspect that much of what I wear would fail to meet with the aforementioned pop celebrity's approval. To each his own, eh?

As 12345Michael (etc) correctly says, it may well be fashionable. I favour elegant classic suits, they can be 'interesting' eg Solaro and some of the Zegnas to name but two you choose and pays yer month, if it does not work out next season, you still have it!

All the above will sell you a jacket like the one pictured, but only when you accept your irreducible individual freedom as springing spontaneously from your own self - rather than seeking to capture it in the banal eccentricity of some object or another, in one shade of blue or another - will you know true happiness.
