I've all but given up on any certainty of a fabric based solely on composition for buying stuff online. There's just too many variables, length of fibers, thickness of the yarn, woven or knitted, technique, tightness of the weave or knit, treatment, etc. Brick and mortars, descriptive trustworthy sellers, or a good return policy go a long way.

Thinking about getting a new blazer, something casual to go with denim and boots. It needs to be available in size 54(xl) and slim fit. I want something very well structured, that doesn't look just like any other blazer. Preferably black...Any recommendations?I love beautiful melodies, telling me terrible things.

I'm pretty flexible budget wise, but I don't wanna spend thousands of dollars on something that isn't worth it. So staying in the area of 1000$ or so is good. But if there is a piece that's worth much more I'll definitely consider...I love beautiful melodies, telling me terrible things.

Rick's blazers might do the trick — I've found mine to be very versatile. It's the shorter one (but from Vicious, not one of the new very cropped ones) and it looks great both with jeans or formal pants. Plus they're not hard to find and iirc I've seen them some 54ers recently."The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in."

If you are a size 54 because you are built/have broad shoulders, I would totally recommend BBS size XXL. Boris tailoring is very casual, and looks great with a pair of jeans. The blazers are built like tanks, and offer big shoulders. The only caveat is the high armhole and short(er) length. If you are a size 54 because you're a larger guy, it may not be the most complimenting jacket to wear.

Although it doesn't really answer your question, I'd opt for a boiled poly blazer. It looks good on anyone for anything.
This question has been gnawing at me for a while now: what's the deal with Hermes leather? People believe that its the best in the world, and yet here we are on a forum where "artisanal" leathers are the center of discussion, with no Hermes in sight. I can understand a difference in aesthetic, but in terms of production technique of sourcing/tanning/etc., is there any gap in quality? Or is, say, m.a.+ on par with Hermes (or vice versa), and after a certain level of quality, it's just smoke and Fashion mirrors?

Just a quick update on the 100% Ramie jacket (LEB). I really do like the feel of this fabric its has some stiffness but, the stiffness is not overbearing. I would equate the stiffness to a pair of he starched denim jeans. The fabric creases easily in the obvious areas (bicep/forearm). IU especially admire the subtle shine of the ramie most. I would love to post some pics, I just can't seem to figure out how.
