Beyond the Call of Duty.

Aboard the HMS Blazer, 1845. Capt. J.W. Washington dresses his crew in navy blue jackets with silver buttons, promptly known as blazers. The men look quite presentable. They also look identical.

Fast forward 150 years, major American airport. Gents in navy blue blazers everywhere, all quite presentable. Line them up, though, and they look… well, you see why some outfits are called "uniforms."

This navy blue blazer will set you apart.

It's a copy of an English blazer from the 1930s, when the art of tailoring still flourished. Noticeably more panache than its sack-like descendents.

Wide peaked lapels broaden your chest. Comfortably fitted sides slim your waist. Trim shoulder pads square off your silhouette. Three-button front and double-vent back emphasize your verticals.

If you've lost the form you had when you quarterbacked for Notre Dame, this blazer will restore it. And if you're an improbably fit, suave chap who knows the difference between shaken and stirred, you'll have a blazer that finally does you justice.

Classic English Blazer (No. 2359), in Italian superfine 100s wool worsted. Serious construction (e.g., canvas interlining in chest). Satiny rayon/acetate lining. Silver buttons. Four pockets outside, four inside (including ticket pocket for your aisle seats at Private Lives).

Men's even sizes: 38 through 48.
