Summer Blazer

[jake_fink]

I'm posting this in "Suits" rather than "Jackets" as "Jackets" seems to be more about outer wear.

I'm thinking ahead and looking for a summer blazer. I want something light in weight and colour and with a period look. Somewhat wider than usual lapels, three button prefered, belt back would be nice, but... The jacket that Jack Nicholson wore as Jake Gittes in the scene on Catalina Island or in the orange groves is a good example of what I'm after, though I have an open mind. I'm willing to think about having one made if someone can make a good recommendation, and if the price is right (reasonable).

So, pictures, links, advice of any nature is appreciated.

Here's looking forward to this year's racing season.

You're not alone. I've been in the market for pretty much the same thing since last August. No luck yet and Spring is creeping up. I'm thinking custom is the way to go.
