The Almost-Perfect Blue Dress Blazer

Uniqlo Slim Fit Blazer – $69.50

Don’t get too jazzed.  There’s a problem here.

I’m a huge fan of the unstructured cotton blazer.  But sometimes you need something a little more formal.  It can’t get more versatile than a solid navy blazer, but one of the biggest problems is finding one without the obnoxious gold buttons.  That’s why this one by the Japanese dirt-cheap but still cool looking clothes brand Uniqulo, is, as the kids would say… the bees-knees.

Silver buttons that blend in.  Good looking structure.  All around solid.  AND… for the insanely cheap price of $70.

Here’s the problem.

You can’t buy it online.  You can’t buy ANY of their stuff online. Which stinks because Uniqlo would be right up this website’s alley.  Jeans for $39, Blazers on sale for $40.  Polos for $19.  T-shirts for $5.  They don’t have an online store for the U.S.  And their U.K. online store is pretty limited.  Plus shipping / exchange rate would be awful.

They’ve got a whopping ONE store in the U.S. But that’ll probably change.  Looking forward to the day it does.
