Old Navy Cord Blazer – $39.95
Guys used to wear blazers on the weekend or at home after work all the time. I think most guys don’t anymore because they feel like they wouldn’t be comfortable. Trust me… you’re just as comfortable in a cord blazer with jeans and Cons on a cool Fall day compared to wearing a hooded sweatshirt. Lay around on the couch in it. Spill something on it. Who cares, it only cost $40. This ain’t Armani here guys. But it is a step up from the usual sweatshirt or henly that we all usually throw on. You’ll just look better. More put together. Your lady, or… the ladies, will dig it.
I got an Old Navy tweed blazer a few years back for around the same price, and I was really surprised with how good the quality was. Sure you might have to have it taken in a bit… but at $40, what’s another $10-20 at your tailor to have it made specifically for you?
These come in three colors. The usual brown, a black, and this gray. Get the gray. Or all three. Just don’t wear your collar on the outside of the jacket like in the pictures. It’s not Saturday Night Fever.
I wholeheartedly endorse blazers. I have an unlined cotton blazer I wear all the time. You just have to watch out in certain bars for the “Hey, college boy…” comments.
