That jacket has patch pockets, which are SF-approved on sport coats and casual suits. Nothing wrong with them, but they're not appropriate for formal businesswear.

Excellent, thanks for the explanation. Any other recommendations out there. I really like the fit of the ludlow club blazer, just wonder if it's a reasonable blazer to add given the patch pockets. I know this has been asked many times, just looking for a recent update given this is an older thread.

Patch pockets are absolutely fine on any odd jacket, including a navy blazer. I actually prefer them on odd jackets and I have them on all but two of my odd jackets (went flap on a DB navy blazer and flap on a grey herringbone jacket that really could have used patch pockets). If you need to be in formal business attire, you'll be wearing a suit anyway, so the fact that patch pockets may not be suitable for formal business dress should not be an issue.
I don't love the fact that the Ludlow has a center vent as I much prefer side vents, but YMMV.

Definitely can if one is a size 40R. If not, slim pickings.
