Suggestions on blazer-style cardigans ?

[fredrik80]

Im searching for a blazer-style cardigan, or perhaps i should call it a sweater styled like a blazer (no padding or lining as on a blazer), not a sporty fleece or jersey or anything like that but more of a high quality soft merino or cashmere fabric.

I'd really love one in classic navy blue with gold buttons, slim fitting and doublebreasted if possible. Like a club blazer but more casual.

Does anyone know where i can get one?

Try Maus and Hoffman in Palm Beach. I think I've seen something like that in their catalog. 888-628-6287

That's a great look. Very handsome.

Yes, that one was pretty nice!

I think i just found what i was looking for :
100% 4-ply cashmere and exactly the style/cut i wanted. I love it!

Very nice, but the crest on the chest pocket is fake-looking - **** Creek Yacht Club?

Who made it?

ROFL. I'd also like to know who made it. I might like to buy a single-breasted version (without the crest).

It's by Polo's blue label actually
The crest is kind of cute i think, see this closeup, looks much better imo. But since its an applique it would be easy to remove

Not necessarily. It may leave a footprint.

If so you can just cover with blue marker, no?

That fake RL heraldry is one of my pet sartorial hates - it's actually a label (which I dislike on its own accord) imitating a regimental/club badge. If you wear some heraldry you're not entitled to, you're at least making some sort of statement. I'd rather have a slight footprint than that badge on the chest pocket.

You might be able to take off the whole pocket.

Or remove the crest and replace with something else, like this:

Heh, not at all, RL is arguably the most influential men's designer in the last decades. (And I like much of the stuff, and the general look of it.) He should just know where to stop the shameless snob-appeal. I suppose it's just my growing label/logo-allergy breaking out.
