Hi all.

i need some help finding a good summer blazer or sports coat.
at my work we have a very casual dress code but i always try to dress my best. right now i am sporting a nice tweet blazer, shirt and tie with chinos, while this works great right now its starting to get to warm.
so this is what i need help with, i need a blazer or sports coat which is very lightweight in a blue/greyish color. but i have to be able to go out in the countryside in it, so somthing with no construction to it and no shoulder pads.
basically a jacket that kinda looks like a blazer.

so far i have only found two. one jcrew which i dont want to buy (they have **** qauility) and a realy nice barutti which was to small. (god damn fat)

any help is greatly appreciated.

I picked up exactly what you're looking for at Target for like $30, but if J Crew quality is too ****** for you, you probably won't like that. In the most recent edition of Esquire's Big Black Book, there's a page of unstructured lightweight sportcoats that would be more to your tastes.

thanks for the reply
target might be a bigger problem than just the quality as it would take me 7 hours to get there and a 400 dollar bill for the ticket :D.
i live in sweden.
for the Esquire's Big Black Book, is there any website or somthing like that i can look it up ?
thanks again.

Epaulet and Howard Yount. But you will have to pay more than $400.
