Hi guys,

Looking to get your input on my first ever Navy blazer - Found these two options which seems to fit the bill - Which brand is of a higher quality? I know the RL purple line is very good, but i'm not sure about the Polo Ralph Lauren. I can also get 25% off the Brooks Brothers blazer as they have a sale on now.

Also which is the best colour for the long term and wearbility in terms of wearing it frequently ( this will be my most expensive clothing purchase to date and I know that a navy blazer is a must so i wanted to spend quite a bit on it). I'm looking for something that is quite modern in terms of looks and cut.

My normal size is 36 S and I have a 28 waist.

The best blazer is the one that fits you the best.
Edit: the BB and PRL are likely to be very similar in construction i.e. half canvassed. Not sure about the CT blazer. IMO the lapels are too narrow for a 'classic' look but it is a 'modern' look.
