We know, we know, wtf, this jacket is wild. Why is it on here? Well hear us out! While this jacket is a bit crazy, it has a uniqueness that you'll likely not run into as you run around on your Saturday or Sunday brunch tour. This patchwork cotton sport coat from Ralph Lauren has a 3 button design and a whole lot of intricacies that make it an awesome top layer. Think of this more as a never-button, throw on on top of some rugged-themed layers, outfit completer. We suggest wearing it with some raw denim, a plain white or charcoal v-neck tee and a black or gray hoodie underneath to create a no-effort, just threw this on, type of look. We would also suggest a denim button-down underneath and pushing up the sleeves for "workin-man"  look that will sure to differentiate you from every other guy at brunch this weekend. 

Available on ralphlauren.com for $265

If you are in the market for a timeless navy blazer, than this 2 button jacket from Marks and Spencer is worth a look. It has a mid-weight texture in a classic herringbone pattern that isn't overly loud or distracting, and has a slimmer cut to give the wearer a more flattering silhouette. The fabric itself is woven in London and is made from "New Wool" meaning the yarn hasn't been recycled or previously used in any way. The jacket features include flap-style dual vents in the back, notch lapels and elbow patches, so not super formal, but versitile enough to get through 90% of your more formal and smart-casual functions. Right now its on sale from $222, and sizes are running out quickly so get on it!

Indochino Merino Wool Flannel Blazer

Winter is coming, and quickly. We seemed to have skipped over most Fall throughout the northern state, as daily highs are only reaching the mid 50s, and nightly temps are plunging even in the southern states. This means its time for some warmer sport coats. A great new guy on the scene is this merino wool flannel blazer from Indochino. The fabric is super soft, warm, and has a great roll on the collar. With a tread-count in the Super 100's the wool should stay together and last quite a while, meaning this can be inserted into your weekly wearers. And why wouldn't want to include this, it has a uniqueness your coworkers are likely not to have in their closets, setting you a part. The maroon and blue color combo allows it to go well with khakis, gray slacks, and blue jeans, so feel free to break this out for work and play.

Available on Indochino.com on sale for $280 (from $520)

Bonobos Jetsetter Bright Navy Wool Blazer

via bonobos.com

I know what you're thinking, Bonobos is known for their pants, not their blazers. This is true, however, their designers are really amping up their game when it comes to garments going above the waist. The Jetsetter blazer is 98% Italian wool and 2% elastane, making it soft to the touch and has a bit a give for your on-the-go lifestyle. There is no thread count listed online, but based on feel we are thinking it's in the super 100s-super 110s range. Normally we wouldn't go the off-the-peg route, but with the high arm holes, and mildly aggressive tapering, you won't need to tailor this too much to get a more custom silhouette. This jacket is perfect to sport on your way to the office or the theater, heck this would be perfect for any semi-formal, or nice night out. We would pair it with chinos or a pair of dark-wash jeans, collared shirt, and brown chukkas. Go impress your date, family, or friends and step up your game.

Available on Bonobos.com for $400, but we would budget another $70 for tailoring.

Indochino Navy Plaid Seersucker Blazer

Summer is for seersucker, and if we have as mild of a Fall as we did last year, so is most Fall (thanks, Al Gore). When you think seersucker, chances are you weren't thinking this, which is why we like so much. It's a more formal, less stereotyped seersucker blazer that has a formal quality the classic blue and white stripe design doesn't. This jacket is 50% wool, 43% cotton, and 7% spandex meaning it will have the structure of wool, the soft touch and breathability of cotton, and have some added stretch for when your evening out gets a little rowdy and you need to bust a move. And for those out there thread counting, you're looking at super 120s meaning it is for regular wear. Right now Indochino is having a summer sale with the code ENDLESS that is only on for another 3 days so grab this sucker soon.

Available on sale at Indochino.com for $280 (46% off from $520)
