Most of mine are a few years old now, from Target, JC Penney, Loft, Caslon, and Ann Taylor. I feel like the ponte blazer is on its way out, trend-wise.</p> <p>I did get one from Loft around Christmas, and J Jill has one in two colors right now, although the trim makes it look pretty casual:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jjill.com/product/double-knit-button-front-jacket">https://www.jjill.com/product/.....ont-jacket</a></p> <p>More formal at Talbots:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.talbots.com/online/sale/perfect-ponte-blazer-herringbone-prdi46921/N-10598+3998012147+2017777511?selectedConcept=&amp;akamai-feo=off">https://www.talbots.com/online.....8012147+20</a><br />and&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.talbots.com/online/perfect-ponte-blazer--solid-prdi46607/N-0?Ntt=perfect+ponte&amp;selectedConcept=&amp;akamai-feo=off">https://www.talbots.com/online.....#038;selec</a></p> <p>JCrew/JCrew Factory often has a sweater-knit version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-a-good-source-for-knit-blazers#post-1998904 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 17:21:48 +0000 Diana 1998904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a Caslon one and I don't recommend it at all. &nbsp;It's comfy but the fit is sloppy. I think the things that people like about it (softness, thin and unlined material) make it look sloppy. &nbsp;In my wardrobe, it functions as more of a cardigan than a blazer, and I have cardigans that fit better.</p> <p>I don't have any recs because my other knit blazers are all pretty old, but I would look for one with a lining at least, and maybe a little more structure (like shoulder pads or at least a thicker fabric). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-a-good-source-for-knit-blazers#post-1998872 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 15:09:47 +0000 April 1998872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adding to the recommendations for Talbot's.</p> <p>A few years ago, a sister-in-law decided her work uniform would be dark jeans and knit blazers, and Talbot's was our best source.&nbsp; Also, they have a greater range of sizes than anyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-a-good-source-for-knit-blazers#post-1998751 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 05:17:48 +0000 Gretchen 1998751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are used to the weight and knit of St John, I would not recommend Caslon. They are typically a lighter weight and as noted below, stretch easily. The price is good, but whenever I’ve tried, they’ve been donated by the end of the season. </p> <p>I’d suggest Talbots, Nic+Zoe, or maybe Pendleton? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-a-good-source-for-knit-blazers#post-1998681 Sun, 03 Feb 2019 21:32:36 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1998681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BrieN, I'm not surprised.

Very nice wool. It says dry clean but I've washed it twice without a problem. I also have a cashmere blazer from NM brand from a couple of years ago. I don't remember seeing anything like it this year. I wait until December at least because they keep dropping the price on their store brand cashmere as the weeks pass.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-anyone-have-a-good-source-for-knit-blazers#post-1998381 Sat, 02 Feb 2019 16:08:05 +0000 LaPed 1998381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about J Crew?

I am ok with pure cashmere, because I can wash that at home on a regular basis. I was interested in those by Calson at Nordies, but they're not offered at the moment. I like Majestic Filatures, though they are pricey. Any other suggestions? </p>
