I have a cheap j crew factory navy wool suit. and a nice wool brooks borthers blazer that is very heavy, but lookos great.

i was wanting a blazer i could wear to work this spring and summer with jeans.

I got this one on sale the other day and my tags are still on:

soon a s i got it, they came out with an unstructured blazer:

price wise with the original sale, it comes out about even. However, i am very split on which one would be a better biz casual look with jeans to work. thoughts?

The structured jacket look like it has too much shoulder padding to look good with jeans, as well as too smooth/glossy a fabric. I'd go with the unstructured jacket unless you're concerned about looking too casual at work.

I'd go with the unstructured jacket if you're looking to primarily pair it with jeans.
