I like the prices!
If you read Manton's book, you will see the only real blazer is a double breasted one with metal buttons made in flannel.

I wonder if the tailored in Italy is a Brioni blazer. Apparently J. Press was one of the first two US stores to carry Brioni.

Re: Double Breasted J. Press blazer
I generally prefer a wider, more dramatic lapel, such as those from the 1930s, however I do like the narrow lapels of these jackets. They're timeless. I'm puzzled as to why Press calls them "quasi" essential since they're staples. In fact, for someone on a budget, a single breasted and double-breasted blue blazer are all you need. I also like green blazers.

Re: Double Breasted J. Press blazer
The variety of trousers which can be combined with blue blazers also offers tremendous flexibility...
grey trousers (gabardine, flannel, worsted)
tan trousers (gabardine, flannel, worsted)
jeans
corduroy (in various shades of beige/taupe, grey)
Maybe even more.

If one could do it deftly, black trousers could also be paired with a blue blazer.

It has a nice school uniform look about it.

Re: Double Breasted J. Press blazer
Just curious: from what publication was the ad?

Re: Double Breasted J. Press blazer
Ironically, Press must have seen this advertisement.
Jap Ivy fans seem to have no probs. with d-b blazers.
