Reasonable advice although "Look for Ralph Lauren Polo or Brooks Brothers Fitzgerald blazers." is questionable rather undermines the original thrust of this post.Buy whatever needs the least alterations. Make sure chest and shoulders fit correctly and then look for an athletic/slim cut jacket that does not need too much waist suppression.

Look for Ralph Lauren Polo or Brooks Brothers Fitzgerald blazers.
