He guys,
I am in dilemma right now. I am looking for a casual, every day blazer that will go well with jeans. My measurements are
chest(armpit to armpit): 18
shoulders(across):22
shoulder seam to wrist: 27
waist: 32
As you so I have a large drop between my shoulders and waist. I have looked into the Neapolitan style, but I am not quite sure what to look for.
I really enjoy this look:

I looked into harris tweed but it seems they do not have any natural shoulders models.
I am looking to by used, as retail is not really an option. All your opinions and comments are greatly appreciated!

Thx.

I think , based on those measurements, you are better off going MTM or bespoke. I think you're going to have a hard time getting something that will fit you otr.
