Weekly Wrap Up – 1/16 – 1/20

January 20, 2012 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

Deal of the Week:  Banana Republic Tailored Cotton Blazer – was $138.60 ($198)
Size shown: 38R. I need a 40R.

The latest simple, cotton, well put together blazer from Banana republic.  It’s in their trimmest “modern” fit, so be prepared to size up.  Cotton is nice and soft, the blazer moves well, and it’s a real nice shade of light grey.  Was 30% off but it’ll go on sale again (if it’s not on sale as we speak…)

Somebody on twitter mentioned they’d like all ten of the picks.  That’ll be $401.50… or, not quite 10% of what you need to RESERVE your place in line for the new Tesla Model S.

 

Most Discussed Post: In Person – SuitSupply
The stair-masters at the gym were full.

Real nice if you have the cash.  But that’s just the thing… not everyone has the cash, yet some still need a suit.  If you’re in the above $400 market and considering a J. Crew Ludlow, give SuitSupply a shot first.

    maybe it’s time for banana republic to go back to the drawing board when a snapt shot in a poorly lit BR dressing room on Joe’s phone makes their blazer look way better than their professionally shot website pics.  Same goes for most of their jackets and suit lines.  I’ve seen some of them in store and they’re pretty nice, but they all look like sacks on the website.

    I bought the cotton blazer from your recommendation (and email/twitter conversation we had) and I’m pleased with my purchase. I was able to get it in stores for 40% off due to some special they were running from an email blast they sent out for shoppers that purchased items in December. I did not get the email but read about it online and even picked up a couple v-neck sweaters to pair it with while there in their sale section for $35 each.

    My wife loves it and I’m wearing it today (http://goo.gl/oUPfP) with relative success. This is my first cotton tailored fit jacket from BR and I think I’m a fan. I do want to point out that I’ve noticed a cut difference in their “tailored fit” vs. “modern fit.” It seems as though tailored is the most tailored while modern is in-between their classic and tailored. Something about this jacket says it could wrinkle over time, but on the positive side I believe it will work year round because of the cotton weight.

    Thanks for posting affordable style – keep up the good work!

    Are the buttons for the BR blazer black or brown? My eyes deceive me.

    @ Joe, even if there wasn’t great advice and deals on here everyday, i’d still stop by for the comments alone.

    I clicked on the picture for “deals under $75” article, instead of the actual link. . .thanks, Joe, haven’t heard that one in a while, lol.
