Without a doubt, a navy blazer or navy jacket otherwise should hang in every well-dressed gentleman's closet. It's seasonless, versatile, and pairs with almost every other color in your wardrobe.

We ordered 18 different jackets from nine different retailers to compare their offerings and see which one was best and we actually paid for all these jackets with our own money. So this video comes to you 100% and unsponsored. It's just our opinion and the brand and the blazers.

As a preppy guy with not a lot of scratch until I get this first finance job, this is a gold mine! I also like this new 'fireside chat' style of videos you've got going on lately. Keep up the good work gents!

I would like to see a round up review of different online MTM suits. This concept is realy fun.

[robtaylor]

You need to do a video just on Spier and Mackay. The Neapolitan cut I have is amazing, especially for the money. shocked you missed this...

I believe that the navy blazer is one of the most versatile garments every gentleman must own. It could be dressed up or down and could be paired with almost anything and was even the signature of stylish men like the late Sir Roger Moore. Thanks for making this helpful video for a very useful garment for a reasonable price

that moment when Sven is so angry and give 0 star with a beep

Preston reminds me of Marty McFly’s dad from Back to the Future.

I am so glad that GG cover such a wide variety of topics and each video is perfectly paced and thorough.

Hi Preston and Sven, I've been watching your YouTube videos for many months now and I have to say I really like this new, experimental format - i.e. you two trying on and discussing pairs of shoes (as in the first video in this format) or blazers, as in this example, from a range of different suppliers; I'm sure I'm not the only one of your subscribers who enjoys this style and would like to see more in this vein. Keep 'em coming!

[SplurgeFrugal]

Yikes! Buying a new blazer for less than $500 nearly condemns you to poor quality fast-fashion brands! You make a great case for thrift shopping and vintage menswear if you seek enduring quality. Buy high-end second-hand clothing, find a reliable tailor, and take care of your clothes so they can last you a lifetime. The best clothing that will ever be made has already been made! This was another insightful video. It really helps us to avoid costly mistakes. Thanks!

[christopherfoley]

This is one of the best, most relevant vlogs you have recently dropped. Thanks for the good work

[johanjohansen]

I like the longer videos and especially when you do them together. After watching this it has come clear to me that second hand is superior.

[fatlenny]

Love these videos where you review different brands. Keep during more.

[jamesismyfriend]

THANK YOU!! Style with a budget videos is just what I need!

I got into your videos earlier, but then tuned out as everything was too expensive. So this is perfect.

Please do this with Chinos and smart/casual boots. :)

[amadejpesko]

Really useful video. Great. One suggestion: You should make a video about best quality umbrellas, and compare them to the cheaper ones.

[tljpapa]

Thank You! Really great job reviewing these jackets!

[mr.berrani]

A very rich content & full of details, you guys did a very remarkable job and efforts. Blazers are my favorite style & I learned a lot from you. Thank you so much ❤️

My navy blazers have traditionally been the Ralph Lauren navy blazer but, about 14 years ago I was infatuated with the Hickey Freeman navy blazer and I have not looked back. I rock my blazer with a variety of styles.... from my chinos to my denim but certainly more traditional my dress trousers such as my gabardine to worsted wool.

I almost paid near to $1000 for a killer navy double-breasted from a noted outlet but held off because of the cost. Luckily I did because, at the end of the year, that outlet had a sale and got one of the last two remaining for a fraction of the price. When I asked why so cheap? He told me they sold out that line and wanted the last two gone. My tailor corrected a few things, and now it's one of my most favourite garments.

Definitely include Spier & Mackay in the future!

[michaelmason]

Excellent video gentlemen. Always appreciate your efforts to review less than bespoke clothing, shoes and style. Thank you
