        Nigel Cabourn does a white packable Ventile blazer. It's not cheap, but is currently half price.

          Community Clothing in the UK do an unstructured cotton blazer in navy and khaki. I have one of each. Good value, made in the UK.

            Anyone have any good recs for an unstructured sport coat? I need something that can make me look a little more professional when wearing casual clothes, and thought that this would be a nice option. The Saturday Type Fever jacket would be a good option, but they're sold out everywhere.

            I've been looking at Mister Freedom's Continental jacket, but the top button has me a little puzzled. Wondering if I folded the lapels enough if it would function like a 3 button jacket and not look weird.

                @seawolf I may be wrong, but I thought that @Steve has some more stuff coming down the pipeline. 🙂

                    @seawolf I don't have a good picture of me wearing it readily available right now but I've been wearing a MF continental jacket for years. The lapels definitely fold over and it has a more "regular" blazer look to it! I've worn the full suit to a bunch of weddings and semi formal events. To my memory the fourth button get's kind of hidden in the fold and doesn't really stick out too much.

                        @Tago-Mago Top of the price range for sure.

                        @TENDREL This is awesome information. Thank you!

                        @Graeme This is interesting. Thank you!

                          Weird question: what makes a blazer “unstructured”?

                            @sabergirl little to no shoulder padding, no canvassing, from my understanding

                                  Canvassing is the stuff that goes in between the sort of satin lining and the wool (or whatever the face of the jacket is)

                                      I love a good blazer. I really lament the loss of two of my faves, Steven Alan (still exists, but nowhere near what it once was, before the company was sold) and Freeman's Sporting Club (permanently closed). If anybody's got any recs for well made ones a little above casual, I wouldn't mind hearing em.

                                        I used to have loads when office work required something a little more formal, I’ve got 3 left, an unlined/unstructured tweed Polo one with patch pockets, a soft shouldered Brioni in a cashmere check and a slightly more formal Chester Barrie in a herringbone cashmere.

                                          And for a soft tailoring/unstructured look, Drakes are probably the masters of that.

                                            @seawolf In the same vein as your idea to roll the lapel down…. James Bond wears a 3 button rollover. It’s a 3 button that is made/pressed to be worn mostly as a 2 button. The 3rd button hole is visible towards the bottom of the left lapel. You pop the collar and button the 3rd button if the weather gets bad. I have mine made that way. It makes you feel 2% cooler.
