Hi!
So recently I found, to my great surprise, a RTW jacket that fits me incredibly well, really almost on par with my bespoke jackets and better than anything else I've tried on. It's from Polo Ralph Lauren, a 100% cashmere navy blazer that I stumbled upon in their outlet store while searching for a beater summer jacket. It is this one, however mine states that it is made in Italy rather than the US. I'm pretty sure it's the same model. Link: https://www.ralphlauren.nl/en/polo-cashmere-sport-coat-458551.html
I heard that PRL has names for their jacket models, so if anyone would know I would appreciate hearing what model this is so that I can chase other jackets in the future.
I'm attaching a fit pic to show how well it fits. The feeling of putting it on is great and there is always that reassuring nice close fit at the neck and the armholes and the way the lapels and chest seem to mold around me. It's such a joy of a jacket.

It would be beneficial if you would include pictures of all the labels etc in the jacket.

Yeah, you are right, I thought I had pointed that one out. Couldn’t find the *exact* same one, but the fabric and the cut look the same and the sizing pretty much adds up, so I guessed it was the same one. Perhaps not.
