The 10 Best Travel Blazers for Men
Not As Stuffy As You Once Thought
- A classic look that livens up any old tee and jeans
- High-twist worsted wool stands up to the rigors of travel without wrinkling
- Starts to get into the expensive side of things
It may have been nautically inspired, but the gold buttoned, blue blazer is not just for ship captains. Wear it like 90’s Denzel or 2025 Austin Butler at a photo call: over a wider cut vintage, softly faded vintage denim and pair with a favorite ball cap.
I have J Crew’s version, and can vouch for it. But for a little extra, we also like both the Made in U.S.A. double and single-breasted versions from American prep standby J Press. Each has a roomy fit combined with a hearty English wool, meaning you can layer it over a fine-knit sweater, western shirt, or just wear it a little loose and casual. The nice thing about all that extra material? It makes a great pillow all rolled up.
Again, if you want to do this on a budget, this is another style that can be found vintage. There's a huge catalog of Brooks Brothers, Polo Ralph Lauren, Chaps by Ralph Lauren, and J.Press options on eBay. Just be patient, and you can find one in your size.
