I recently lost about 65 pounds and have the unfortunate or fortunate situation of having to replace the "staples" in my wardrobe.
I am in the market for a blue sportcoat, not a blazer (which is a distinction that I can't seem to articulate, but "know it when I see it").
My preferences are:
1. I really like a "soft shoulder" - I have found that Isaia has a shoulder that typically fits my taste.
2. I would like something "slim" - not overly trendy, but I seem to like the Ralph Lauren Black Label model.
3. I would like the fabric to be without any type of pattern (i.e. smooth), but not have the sheen of the cheap blue blazer look - I think that my knowledge in what works in this area is lacking - Brioni tends to make fabrics that I like.
4. I would like the buttons to not be "ship captain", but could live with something that is not horn if it were interesting.
5. I would like the jacket to be as unconstructed and "light" as possible - I own an unlined Zegna blazer that I love and also have seen a recent grey Brunello Cucinelli sport coat from this year's collection that I love.
Anyway, I know this is specific, but I have been looking around for awhile and I can't seem to find anything that I like - I am being a bit particular, given that this is a "staple" and I will only own one. I have never had something made for me, but am considering it for this purchase, considering that I can't seem to find what I like.
Any thoughts?
