THE FALL STYLE ISSUE: THE HERRINGBONE BLAZER


This is the jacket that goes with damn near everything. Churches up your casual ensembles, adds sporty flair to your more dressed-up ones. Every guy looks great in one. It is, in short, the Superblazer.

And autumn after autumn, the fine folks at J.Crew continue to knock it out in a slim, minimally structured fit crafted from fine English tweed sourced from Abraham Moon — a mill that’s been weaving top-shelf fabrics since 1837.

Bonus: all at a price point that leaves some leftover scratch for a new shirt and tie.

This is what we mean when we say churched-up casual — the simple addition of some English tweed takes a plain white tee and jeans and elevates things to date-night levels.
