Casual Blazers to go with Selvedge Denim

Salon boncoura has some awesome made in Japan jackets but pricey

I've just reminded myself that Billy Reid and Sid Mashburn have some good offerings — can be hit or miss, but def some keepers in there. Also I've seen quite a few cool jackets at that No Man Walks Alone shop, but their stuff seems to sell out pretty quickly.
This thread is also just telling me that I need to get off my ass and buy a new suit one of these days. I'm not the lanky indie rocker I used to be. Trying on the suit I have would be... comical to say the least.

@seawolf here’s one of my continentals in the wild. Not quite the traditional cut of a formal blazer but makes for a great casual fit.
It looks great on you, but seeing it on someone gives me enough context to understand the jacket a little better, and I don't think it's the look I'm going for. Thank you so much for sharing!

Wow. You weren't kidding about the prices.

I found one at Billy Reid, thanks to you, that's on my short list.
@mikebarhoot Looking good! John Varvatos has an insanely nice goatskin sport coat that I would snatch up in a heartbeat, but it's over $2K.

Thank you all for bringing this thread back to life!
+1My job is “business casual.” I’ve gotten away with jeans every day so far in 2025; mostly by throwing on a blazer.

@Go-For-Chill It's a pretty amazing way to elevate a casual look. I have to get up in front of people a lot to present my work, and having a nice blazer will be a great way to be presentation-ready at all times.

@seawolf I was mistakenly tagged in one of the replies here, but I've been looking into a few unstructured jackets as suit alternatives.
Private White VC make a few jackets, such as the Tailor Blazer and Overlord. They tend to do fewer formal styles, and more dressy versions of things like shackets or field jackets.
Their products are nicely made, and they're sewn in the UK. I would pitch them as being similar to Nigel Cabourn, but more dressed up. I came very close to buying a Ventile duffle coat from them eighteen months ago.
