Noob here. I've got a question about unstructured cotton sport coats. I'm aiming to start developing my own style post-college; I'm a couple of years out from graduation and figured that I should start dressing (more) like an adult. I'd like to try out an unstructured cotton sport coat in navy for the early fall. I've found these three choices:
Target casual blazer ($40) (100% cotton; hopefully it fits, there is no size chart)
Gap Garment-dyed washed blazer ($70; 100% cotton)
Ralph Lauren Organic Chino Sport Coat ($150, 65/35% cotton/linen)
Ideally I'd like to spend less than 70 or 80 bucks, so I'll have some money left over for tailoring if I need it. I'm not sure what I should be shooting for in terms of quality vs. price, which is why I tossed in the Ralph Lauren coat.
Also, I've been going through the threads a bit, but if anyone has any recommended threads for basic wardrobe staples, I would be much obliged.
Thanks.
