Land's End Canvas Marled Blazer

April 10, 2012, 09:56 AM

Hello everyone, I've lurked here for a long time, but this is my first post!

I'm a college student and I've been looking to expand my style, on a (VERY) tight budget. I just pulled the trigger on the Land's End Canvas Marled Blazer for $48. It popped up in the Classifieds, and I felt like I had to jump on it.

What are your thoughts? Did I make an impulsive decision? Does anyone have it? Will I have to return it? If I keep it, it will be my first blazer

Imo it's a nice blazer! For $48, it's a good or a really decent buy for a casual blazer. There's some polyester though but LEC usually makes good quality clothing from what I hear. There's also a navy blazer at Target for $30 now in-store (the one that Joe got in the Target article), which is surprisingly fitting coming off the rack.

Oh and I can totally relate to you bro- fellow broke college student as well here in SB.

I bought this blazer over a year ago, back when it first came out and was recommended here on dappered. I bought the small first but it ended up being much too narrow in the shoulders, at 5'10'' and 145lb. I switched for the medium but still felt really restricted in the shoulders and arms so I ended up returning. You may have better luck though. It never hurts to try, as you can always return for free if you have a sears nearby. Best of luck.

It's a nice looking blazer. I'm also a broke college kid, so I can totally sympathize. If you're looking for other cheap jackets, I can second the target recommendation (in tan too!) H&M makes some affordable well-fitting jackets. And you can probably snag some JCrew jackets for similar prices at the end of the season coupled with a store-wide discount (I bought 2 corduroy jackets last fall for under $100).

It's been said a thousand times, but I can't recommend thrift stores enough for someone who is on a tight budget. Assuming you live in a decently populated area, I would take a day you have off and just hit up every thrift in the city. You should be able to find a decent blazer that fits. You should also be able to find shirts and maybe even some shoes. If you miss on a few items, it's only a few dollars lost (and most stores have a decent return policy, but I would check before purchase).

Thanks everyone, this is all helpful. I have tried on the Target blazer, the medium fit well everywhere except the shoulders (which were too big). I'm about 5'11", 150ish, pretty small frame; I usually take a 36-38 in jackets. Does anyone have pictures of the Land's End blazer? Or can anyone. Or compare the fit to the Target one? I'm thinking I may have to switch to a medium, bu maybe not.

Well I got the jacket, and I'm actually quite pleased with it. I was worried that the Small would be too small in the shoulders or chest, and honestly the chest is a little snug for me, but all things considered, it fits quite well. The sleeves run pretty long; a Medium would have definitely been too much of an increase for me. Overall, a successful purchase!

Anyway, sorry about the double post, just thought I'd give an update!
