Navy Blazer and Linen Off-white blazer for summer

[bmoredcstyle]

Some months ago I bought a Lauren Ralph Lauren blazer probably in the low $100's. Has brass buttons which I like. This was before I knew the brand wasn't known for good quality. I found this online at Indochino (on sale ): https://www.indochino.com/product/harrogate-navy-blazer though I'd really like brass buttons. Also looking for an off-white linen blazer for the summer. Thanks. Opinions on the Indochino blazer?

Buttons are easy to change. A seam ripper and a five-minute YouTube video (and needle and thread, of course) and you can have brass buttons on any blazer you buy. I'm terrible at sewing but I still learned to sew a button; it's an easy job.

good to know. my coordination is quite poor so I suppose I could get a tailor to do it.

Last time I checked, a few years ago at an SF Meet-Up at the
local Indochino store, it was obvious that the merchandise
was junk. That was the consensus of the other SF members
who attended.

well that's unfortunate. I am going to try Bonobos based on the recommendation of dappered.com as I'd like to spend no more than $500. I could also wait for a Brooks Brothers sale.

The modern voice of classic elegance

Providing a sartorial silhouette and crafted from 100% linen for natural breathability, this Italian-made single-breasted jacket has instead been finished with piped seams. Generously sized patch pockets provide ample room to keep your essentials.

This is a little out of your price range but its from a company known for Neapolitan tailoring and linen jackets.

Personally, I’d go with this over similarly priced Brooks Brothers, at least for a summery jacket. Brooks Brothers might be what you are looking for regarding brass button blazers.

I wouldn’t go with Bonobos. I definitely wouldn’t go with Bonobos if the prices are equivalent to sale-level BB or the above Rubinacci.

One important note is the above jacket seems to be unconstructed. If you want a jacket that’s built up then you should pass on the above. A linen unconstructed jacket is nice but if it’s not what you are looking for then it’s not what you are looking for.

Agree with this entirely. Stay away from Indochino. Their stuff is garbage.

I'm currently wearing a size 48R btw.

Spier and Mackay?: https://www.spierandmackay.com/cream-linen.html

I wonder if I shouldn't just get a Navy Blazer linen incase I need it for a future job. I will be getting a navy blazer for non-summer months already. found this also, although I believe their more expensive lines would go on sale at some point: https://www.brooksbrothers.com/Rege...j.&cjeventid=9a184d74a4f511e9834100ab0a24060c

Spier Mackay cream linen. I have it and it's excellent.

Found this from Paul Stuart. It's their semi annual sale. Too expensive though: https://www.paulstuart.com/paul-fit-linen-and-silk-sport-jacket.html

Incase anyone is interested in addition to the sale get 15% off of you sign up for Paul Stuart's update and promotions.

Billy Reid has a couple of jackets on sale. Unfortunately not in 48R.

Paul Stuart " made in Canada" probably means Samuelsohn,
a high quality manufacturer. I used to be a PS customer and was
always satisfied with their clothing until they effectively abandoned
the natural shoulder for most of their lines.
