Hello! I've just discovered Dappered.com about a month ago and am interested in putting a little more time and care into the way I dress. One of the first new additions to my closet is going to be a navy blazer, and I've found several candidates, but I just am not sure I have the practiced eye to tell which is the best. Here are the three options:
Banana Republic Tailored Fit cotton sateen 38R (Nicest material of the bunch, but noticeably warmer = less useful in hot summer weather.)

JCrew Factory Thompson pique 36R (Probably the least-nice material to the touch, but very comfortable fit.)

JCrew Cotton Ludlow microstripe, unstructured size S (Color might as well be dark grey as navy. Easily to most breathable, which is a big plus a summer looms. Pretty rumpled out of the shipping box!)

Thanks for any input you might have. Sorry about the lighting - I overexposed the photos so you could actually see the jackets, but it was more difficult than I imagined to get good photos. Apologies for any noob-ish-ness!

Originally posted by chief113 View PostJust picked up a Thompson cotton suit. I think the coat is fine, and the pants are baggy. I haven't found a great tailor yet. I took these to a woman, and she said she can't make the pants any slimmer. Maybe she's not great. What do you guys think?

I nabbed this jacket after trying it on in-store thinking it was hitting pretty closely where I wanted it. Then when I tried it on at home, it felt shorter to me with a higher button stance, so I'm second guessing. What do you think?
It also started opening up below the first button, showing a little bit of shirt. Didn't see that in the store either.

Only as a matter of personal taste, I would suppress the waste ever so slightly to accentuate the quarters."The key to Success is the Quality of Execution"
