Looking for a chino blazer to wear for the summer, khaki colored. Preferably tailored cut with slim lapels, side vents, but not too "fashion forward" (i.e. Thom Browne length). Unlined or minimally lined. 2 buttons. No shoulder pads. Budget is under $200.

Have already looked at RL, Rugby, Club Monaco, Tyrwhitt, BB, LLB Signature, and Lands End. The Target Merona was not bad but too dark in color. I want to stay away from mainstream mall brands like Gap and Banana, although JCrew's Ludlow is a decent option.

SuitSupply appeared to have a cheap khaki blazer last season, but can't find one this year.

Last ditch effort is BB's Regent Soft Jacket, which has everything that I want....but even in the semi annual sale, it'll only be 30% off of $400, on the very high end of my budget.

Any more brand suggestions?
