Hello Dappered family,
Many of you have helped me in my quest to find a great suit (still working on that), but in the meantime I want to continue to grow the staples in my wardrobe. Thus, the next most important piece on my list is a great blazer/sportcoat.
The focus on this should be versatility and affordability (something under $150, preferably). I want something that I can dress up with khaki chinos and dress shoes, or dress down with some dark wash jeans, clarks, and a gingham button down. Something that can be worn casually out to bars or with friends, and something that can work in an office. I live in Seattle, so I'm not averse to relatively hefty fabrics (perpetual grey skies). I'm a 6'0, 140lb guy, so slim fits are necessary, and my jacket size is a 36 or 38 regular (depending on brand).
I'm open minded on color or pattern, but my research tells me that a staple blazer should be in Blue or Grey.
Let me know your suggestions, thoughts, or ideas.
As always, I appreciate everyone in this online community. I'm learning so much from you guys, and I look forward to passing on that knowledge to my friends (who suddenly think I'm a fashion maven), and to new members on this site.
