it's got lapels and it's trying to be a blazer.


:satisfied: That's why I like it. I need to say, Should I pay full price for the Lanvin knit blazer then?

Andrew, there are nicer looking lanvin cardigans. Or ones from other brands that don´t cost that much.

Here, go crazy, cardignas for all tastes and, pretty much, all prices: http://www.mrporter.com/Shop/Clothing/Knitwear/Cardigans

Special mentions for the burberry prorsum one (similar price to the one you want), the double breasted lanvin, the asymmetric shawl collar one by Alexander Mcqueen (180 bucks more expensive, but hey, you are already thinking of paying 900 on one, so why not pay a bit more), the camel brown from MMM (really stylish and almost US$300 cheaper) and last, but not least, another MMM, this one with a double trim (also cheaper than the lanvin you so desire).
I myself, am on the search for a great DB blazer, suit jacket or whatever, as long as it´s DB.
