Administrators James Posted July 29, 2016 Administrators Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 What is known on this blazer? Anybody know where (and if) I can get one these days? Might have to get one tailor made or something... It's sort of thin like a shirt, but stitched like a blazer. Though searching the internet I found something called "Summer blazers" on an online clothing store. Similar, but overall still looks thicker than this is.

Administrators James Posted July 29, 2016 Author Administrators Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 This is the closest I can find, it's satin, not linen like Crockett's. Either way, this looks like a decent substitute for those shirt-like jackets worn in the first season. But it looks TOO thin, like, if you wear a blue shirt underneath, you'd see through to it. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-2015-summer-sunproof-light-and-thin-white-blazer-men-plus-size-6xl-slim-fit-casual/32414473416.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.274.2Z0mAP&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_0,searchweb201602_1_10057_10056_10055_10049_10059_10058_10017_405_9878_404_106_10040_105_104_10060_103_10061_102_412,searchweb201603_8&btsid=545ecc6f-052d-46c7-a445-134e3c3d9497 There's also this, but I'm not much of a fan: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Spring-and-Autumn-Men-s-British-Casual-Linen-Blazer-Suit-Single-Suit-Black-Loose-Casual-Blazer/32628026616.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.3.aLQtiR&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_0,searchweb201602_1_10057_10056_10055_10049_10059_10058_10017_405_9878_404_106_10040_105_104_10060_103_10061_102_412,searchweb201603_8&btsid=e0344e86-fbaa-495b-b0b6-473198f641e8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicegirl85 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I like the look of jacket #1, but it's cut to a closer fit in both the sleeves and the body, compared to Crockett's jacket. #2--like the fabric but it has more of a conventional blazer styling (to my eye).

Yeah true. But it'll be next to impossible to find one exactly like Crockett's in this day-and-age, there will always be one or two flaws. Gotta make do with what we can find. The only flaw with the first one is that it's very transparent compared to Crockett's, if you look at the image of the back of it - the way the jeans shine through. However, it might be much less noticeable if the clothing behind it is bright coloured like Crockett is wearing. So there's no way of knowing whether Crockett's was that transparent. But for $27, you can't really go wrong. I'll save the link for now, and see what else I find before making decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D. Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 My jacket was around $20 at Marshall's, about 6 yrs. ago. It's linen & rayon. Very light weight. I brought it to the dry cleaners last year & it came out clean & nicely pressed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Zara just had some white shirts/blazer types with zipper or buttons on sale - see it if you have one near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerDurden389 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 As long as you know your exact size and measurements, ebay really is the best store. Both in finding your exact style, and the right price. I'm up to 15 blazers that all fit me perfectly. All in varying shades of white and gray (and one is black). All of them for less than $30 each (granted I'm a short man, so smaller clothing tends to be cheaper both due to less material, as well as less market for them, so sellers are willing to keep lowering prices just to sell the things and finally get rid of 'em, lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IA-SteveB Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 What are the best search terms to use on eBay to get a blazer? "Unstructured?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 "Unconstructed" is more common. I believe it just means it doesn't have the regular anatomy of all the things that make a conventional blazer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Unstructured?" I usually search both unconstructed and deconstructed. An unconstructed blazer is basically made like a shirt, so it's loose on your shoulders and usually thin in material. More casual than a normal blazer. But what's sad is that nobody makes them anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first sentence of that article is what I meant by "doesn't have the regular anatomy". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
