I've been looking for an unstructured, casual, navy blue cotton blazer for a while now and the Target Merona Kenstington is just about perfect for what I'm after. Unfortunately I'm 6'4" and 180 lbs. and while the medium size fits my chest and shoulders well the sleeves are way too short. Can anyone point me in the direction of a similar blazer available in real jacket sizes (40 long specifically)? I'd like to stay under $100 but thats not a requirement. Thanks!

This comes in a 40L for $198. Currently 25% off, but you could easily catch a 40% off sale if you watch for it.

I like how it has a breast pocket, has 2 buttons, no frills, doesn't have a cropped torso, and is 100% cotton.

They just came out with this year's unstructured blazers: http://www.target.com/p/merona-men-s...lot=medium_1_1 unfortunately I can never wear these because I am 6'3" but they seem like a great deal.

Gap factory has some cheapo chino blazers (~$40 on sale) out currently if you have one nearby. I remember seeing navy, khaki, blue-grey, chambray, and engineer stripe varieties. They fit a little boxy in the chest, are slightly chopped, and I think some had functional cuff buttons. Uniqlo's are $50 so check there too.Last edited by Rocco; March 14, 2015, 09:54 PM.

So I stopped in at Target this afternoon, and they had a chino blazer in navy with patch pockets. I believe this one is different from the Kensington, as I have never seen them in stores, in navy, and they don't have the patch pockets. The only downside is it had working sleeve buttons, but for $40, I didn't care.

They both fit me well in the shoulders, have a nice body length, and are fairly trim OTR. However, while the grey blazer has a nice sleeve length, revealing about 1/4" to 1/2" of shirt sleeve, the green blazer's sleeves reveal about 1" of shirt sleeve... (I will be returning this one) I'm not sure which length is the proposed measurement of the size L, and which one is a quality control issue. I really like the color of the green blazer though, and may order another L as well as an XL to see the differences.
