Look at this perfect black blazer from Rag and Bone. You can get one of the few that remain if you act now. I’m trying not to, as I really ought to dedicate all resources to things like upholstery.
But stretch corduroy, with brass buttons? For fall? A camel coat layered over it, if it’s a cold fall? Sigh. Via net-a-porter, unsurprisingly.

Exceptionally nice..but I fully understand the allure of upholstery.
@Linda @ a design snack, Maybe I should try stretch corduroy on a new chaise longue. Oh, no, probably not;).
My very first big-girl clothing item was a navy cotton corduroy blazer from Brooks Brothers. Went shopping with my Dad on his semi-annual sock and hanky re-supply!
@Patsy, Oh that would make a perfect scene in a movie.
Lovely, but upholstery is also nice.
@Mardel, ;)
Gorgeous i love a classic blazer.
@chicatanyage, You can wear them well I bet.
I can see where you could get a lot of wear out of this. But upholstery would be enjoyed everyday.
@Jane, Must work on my delayed gratification abilities!
There is anything that screams autumn more than the classics; corduroy or tweed? This jacket is gorgeous and such a nice cut, oh and those darling buttons, divine!
@Chronica Domus, Glad you appreciated those little details. That’s what I liked too, the cut, and those buttons:).
Love corduroy almost as much as tweed. And also Rag and Bone. I’d never worn anything from R&G until last summer…and found my long, gauzy, black R&G tank that I bought for our Paris trip to be divine. Upholstery I love …not so much. So permanent… it scares me to even try to update our sadly out-of-date living room furniture. When Hubby finally puts his bum through the sofa… then I’ll have no choice.
@Sue Burpee, Ha! Maybe your husband will enjoy picking upholstery the way he like to garden? And, now that you mention it, I do remember that you are a Rag&Bone woman.
In the calculus (or is it more non-Euclidean geometry?) of buying clothes, I find this blazer a far more versatile piece than the Kenzo sweatshirt you were considering. Really, could anything be more wearable? But I understand the need for upholstery, too. (Or is that why they invented throws?)
@Duchesse, Good point about the throws:). Oddly, I would have worn the Kenzo more often, most likely. I live in jeans and khakis, and I don’t mind wearing the same top if it’s fabulous. I just love having clothes I can throw on to hide a multitude of sins. That said, yes, the blazer is awfully versatile. And beautiful. And classic. And special;).
Cute :)

@M&MFASHIONBITES, Thanks!
Oooh. I just bought 2 new blazers. One black knit (old navy). One dark green stretch corderouy(LL Bean). Love them both. Nothing nicer than blazers in the fall, so versatile. For a cheapie brand, the Old Navy one is fully lined, has actual pockets and sleeve buttons that button. Oh, and its machine washable.
@Mary anne, LL Bean? I will have to take a look.
Maybe to think once again:-). What can one lovely poor lttle jacked do to upholstery :-)?
Dottoressa
Don’t think I haven’t thought about it:).
Perhaps you could just drape this blazer over your old upholstery? ;)
Ha!
Two things would discourage me from purchasing this elegant jacket, assuming they carried my size, which I highly doubt (16W). It would show lint, and I live in a house full of dust thanks to my husband’s book collection. It would show cat hair and we have four cats. It would be a magnet for both.
Anyway, I’m in a shop my closet frame of mind. I don’t plant to buy anything except some rubber rain shoes for the wet winter we are supposed to have in Southern California.
Gorgeous, but I’m thinking “retirement before age 90.” ;-)
