looking for a slim fitted blazer

[davidatler]

what designers/companies have some? it seems everything i find is a box or has graphics on it. i'd like something slim and short (few inches below belt line).

I never had any luck finding slim-fitting short blazers. Women's is the way to go.

[darkanimal]

No luck too. I bought my own cloth went to a tailor, showed some pictures, and had the perfect slim blazer.

[Corbin Law]

ive been looking for a generic slim fit blazer for eevveerrr, adn i found the perfect one in the little tiny kids section at nordstrums, except it was like 80000000$$$, minus a few zeroes

chwa?

[priyadances]

Dior do some lovely slim Blazers, last seasons had some great short ones too. Gotta lay out the cash though.

[Yakboy Equals Nurturer]

APC (again) have some really nice ones. Black heavy cotton or dark brown / grey corduroy. Not cheap in USD though.

benetton makes some quality stuff, been wearing their stuff since forever

don't know if this is what you're looking for.. but it's pretty slim.

I got a real nice slim "techincal" blazer from urban outfitters. I paid like 65 dollars which was alright.

Dior homme and helmut lang imo have the best slim fitted blazers. I have a black peaked lapel dior homme one and I love it. (pics below)

Bad pic on a hanger

peaked lapel

the sides taper in and hug the body (see left side)

[soleindahole]

thats a nice one, pinstriped of that would be haute.

[superposition]

mouko : man where do u get your money to back up all them dior homme stuff?? That blazer is sickk..

[mouko]

forgot to mention the front darts, which pull in the sides more. Dior homme is all about the darts.

As for loot, my wardrobe is small, I usually sell off old stuff for new stuff..so I'm basically recycling my wardrobe. And with something as basic as this, I will never need another blazer ever again. I'm going for more key staples now, aside from the gold shoes

thanks for the pics mouko

[magicclean]

mouko, what is the material of the blazer your wearing? the inside looks shiny.silk?

[superposition]

mouko : how much is that blazer?

[mouko]

I can't seem to find any tag indicating the material. I'm guessing a type of wool, it has a bit of a shimmer to it, looks amazing in natural sunlight.

it was about $1500 taxed (1440.00 pretax) from Barneys.

[superposition]

Nice... if I sell all my Nikes, I'd could only buy one blazer LOL.

Is Cloak cheaper than Dior or are they about the same?

[ten100switch]

about the same

Price points are slightly cheaper, maybe 200~400 dollars less. I would also suggest you try Costume National. Very nice slim fitted blazers for less than a 1000.

That's crazy. You'll need to lock the blazer up in a vault when you leave the house. If the robber is even slightly fashion conscious, that will be the first thing he takes.

i have a Ferre tuxedo, which I bought just for the jacket, I usually buy 40R but I

got a 38R because it was more fitted. The tuxedo is black with F all over it, pretty

cool to dress up, don't think it works dressing down.

but in general I like blazers from Theory, and DG

[skecr8r]

japanese people does.

mouko got it going, I got my grey dior blazer off ebay for like 650$. BANGING.

Gonna pick up the 1.600$ black suit now... Size 48 will fit me just sweet. Or not now, but soon.

Seems like we are doing the same thing, Mouko, be ready to give up your bank account. ;-)

dress badly on purpose.

[CactusArmy]

Damn! mouko and skecr8kr are lucky freaking happy bastards! I want a DH blazer too >.<

as for really fitted jackets - i think most designers, and even high street retailers have them now. anyone from agnes b to scum bags like j lindeberg and everyone inbetween. besides from previously mentioned dior homme and helmut lang - miu miu have done them with peaked lapels for almost 6-7 years now and they look great. unfortunately they usually have a wool/synthetic blend fabric i don't like. yohji yamamoto always had an one single button, high lapel in every collection, which will make you look like a homosexual waiter at a sloan square restaurant.

my favourite pinstripes are from helmut lang. their only problem though is that they make slightly disproportionately smaller trousers. i'm a 5'11 and 28" waist so i always wondered how they're supposed to fit on a normally built person. there are a couple from jil sander's last winter collection you should check out if you're looking for london city style pink stripes. i know, i can barely post without mentioning her name these days.

j lindenberg are scumbags?

[hantakun]

swedish labels acne and whyred make nice, slim, reasonably priced (at least if you compare with the dior homme one) blazers. www.acnejeans.com, www.whyred.com. if you wanna check them out.

[Fuuma]

Pretty much EVERY designer makes a slim fitted blazer. Now my favorite pinstripe blazer is from a company I don't always support: theory. It's a wonderful 2 button black with white pinstripes. If I were you I would check out Paul Smith, the label is all about pinstripes right now and the fit is slim like you requested. Please don't go for a blazer made by a jeans company, those are usually crap and overpriced for the quality level...
