I am in need of a traditional looking, modern fitting navy blue wool blazer and a cotton one. I know LEC has a pretty nice wool one for about $200. I also have been looking at jcrews ludlow blazer thats $365. I dont need a steal but I want quality. I also dont want to spend $1000 on a RL even tho I want to. Please give me your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

How soon do you need it? Banana Republic has navy cotton/ wool blazers on sale all the time. I just picked up a linen/cotton blend one at the BR outlet store for 60% off, yes 60% off. Originally it was $119, I only paid $50 for it. Made in Egypt and decent quality. Having it tailored tomorrow.
Just keep an eye out at your local BR/BR outlet/BR online. I'd also suggest never buying a blazer online unless you've already tried that brand on in store first. A 40R at BR may fit differently then a 40R by RL.

^ This is true. If you have free return shipping or can return in store then it's all good. I know J. Crew and RL do not always offer this. I also hear LEC has a banging return policy.
On a side note, I really like the J. Crew Ludlow suit in Italian chino. The wheat color is screaming my name!!

J. Crew for the navy - absolutely. That blazer is killer.
For the cotton, check out the Gap's offerings. They currently have a black, light tan, and navy pinstripe for about $100, but there's always sales. Just ordered the light tan for myself the other day. If they don't have your size online, you can call and do a store lookup and have it shipped from a retail store.
Ignore the reviewers complaining about them being too small - they're just a more tailored fit, something most Gap customers probably aren't used to.
Best of luck.
