affordable double breasted blazer? (a la anderson little)

[kashmir]

Hi, I am looking for some nice double-breasted blazer (wool) with good price but this has proven to be really difficult. Where can I find something around the price tag of Anderson Little's navy blue blazer? Side question: I am 22 year old currently residing in Singapore (that explains the difficulty on DB). I don't need a suit for work, in fact it would be an overkill- but I am curious as to whether a lightweight linen or cotton might work as a casual dressing up a la this guy: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thin...=l&tid=9413322 What do you guys think? Also, is it risky/too expensive to go ask a tailor to make a DB blazer with such materials (linen, cotton- or maybe even unstructured?) Thanks!

I am a lover of DB blazer as well

There are virtually no new DB you can buy in the shop for less that £500, Paul Smith recently had a linen light structured DB with mother of pearl buttons, but that is £550 in UK......

Depends how much you are willing to spend. MTM blazer is probably the best choice.

Something like this perhaps?

An IMO good looking DB blazer which wont break the bank. Not many places seem to do OTR DB blazers at the moment.

You could try Zara, I just got one there actually. I've sent it to the tailor so I can't snap a pic of it. Got it for about 120USD

Why don't you take a look at my humble offerings: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=236759 ? They are so cheap, you would be able to spend a lot of money on alterations to make them fit properly. Another option is this beautiful number: http://www.pakeman.co.uk/product/867...DB_Blazer_Navy, but be careful: P&C cut their suits for older, heftier men. Yet another option is to buy a double-breasted navy suit for cheap on ebay, then have the jacket buttons replaced.
