Suggest a tan/khaki blazer for summer w/ jeans

Hey all,


I really like the looks of this LBM 1911 blazer, but not the price ($645):





Any suggestions for a slim fitting blazer like this in the < $200 range?


I found this at Jcrew for around $220, but it's a bit too light colored for me:

I have a cotton/linen blend suit in tan from Banana Republic that I got from their outlet for around $120. It fits really well and looks great with jeans and navy chinos.

I have HEARD good things about Charles Tyrwhitt's unstructured blazers:

$200.00 and maybe some coupon codes out there

Also, if linen is acceptable:





$80 from Uniqlo (Or use Suddenlee if you don't live in NYC)

I have the target one. 35 bucks.

Not sure about that Target one - the few I've tried on in the store have never fit me that well.


I'm in DC and planning an NYC trip sometime in the next few weeks, so that Uniqlo one could be a nice option.

I plan on purchasing the blue and khaki version of the following over the course of the summer...

If you are a size 40, Yoox has an entire LBM 1911 khaki suit on sale for $275. No patch pockets though.

@zerostyle

You have a Charles Tyrwhitt store in DC now, so that could be worth checking out, and there were lots of treasures in that big Marshalls store at Columbia Heights when I was there a couple of years ago.
