This is my first post, so please bear with me. I'm looking for a RTW blazer in a small size (36R) in Manhattan. I know there have been a couple of posts with similar requests in the past, but I couldn't find what I was looking for with search, so I decided to post this thread asking for advice.
I'm looking for a high quality navy blazer. I'm not that picky about the style as long as I can get a good fit ... which is difficult because I'm quite thin. I usually take a 36R and need quite a few alterations.
I've been looking into MTM and thanks to the information on the forum, and have decided to have a suit made at Mr. Ned. If that works out, I'll probably order a blazer and a couple of sport coats eventually.
But in the mean time, I need a blazer to wear. I also don't want to spend more than $1K on it.
Does anyone have suggestions about where to look?
I was thinking of Paul Stuart, but I don't believe they carry anything in 36R.
(I know they have 36s listed on the website, but I doubt they actually carry them. I wandered in looking for 30" trousers once and was told they do not actually have them, despite what the website indicates).
There is always Brooks, but I am not particularly enthusiastic about them.
My understanding is that Polo and Hickey Freeman only carry sizes down to 38.
I know nothing about the Italian brands or what is available at the finer Dept. stores (Bergdorf, etc).
Any advice would be appreciated.
