Please help me find...

Long story, but the blazer I wanted from NAS sold out (collected below). I adore it on Jenn and want one for myself!

Can you help me find a close duplicate? I'm finding options but in the gray/black colourway instead of navy. I think navy will work better with my wardrobe.

Size XXL/1X (this is a limiting factor, I realize)

I think I want a longer cut like the one shown.

Prefer a tonal navy print.

Prefer fabric that is mid-weight, seasonless. Wool is not ideal due to my climate.

Unlined is ok as long as it retains its shape.

US retailers only.

THANK YOU in advance, lovely Fabbers!

Talbots has several nice navy blazers in three season fabrics this year - ponte, bistretch, velveteen, crepe - however, none in that handsome chalk stripe or another print. From $100 on sale to $400 for their best Italian fabric.

Thanks, Roberta! I had been on Talbots website recently but hadn't seen them. I'll take a look.

ETA: I checked them out, they all read a bit more conservative/classic than what I'm shooting for this time around. I'm trying to go for an updated/trendy silhouette and fabric. Thanks, though!

crap! I had ordered it and returned it! (I kept the black version)
maybe it will pop back up!

Nordstroms does have another version that looks similar from Halogen that is also a navy pinstripe, in XXL

Oh, I love the one Rebekahpoto found!

I've had a quick look around but came up with nothing: it's funny how longer length blazers are on-trend, yet we're still seeing more shorter options than longer ones....

Will continue to keep an eye out for you.

Oh, no, abc. The length, pinstripe, and incredible soft fabric of the NAS blazer were fabulous. I like the one Rebekahphoto found.

rebekahphoto, wow, I wish I knew that! Bummer! Thanks for finding another alternative.

Inge, that's what my searching turned up, too! Strange. And less common in navy tonal prints, apparently.

kkards, thanks for searching! The second one may work. The first is too much for me.

Angie, I am so disappointed! I'll keep hoping one may turn up. As an alternative I may try the one rebakaphoto found, like you said.

Thanks, all. I appreciate it!

If it makes you feel any better, I tried on the NAS one and it was way too snug in the sleeves in an XL, and way too loose everywhere else in an XXL. IIRC you and I are a similar size/shape. So if you ever have problems with sleeves being too snug, it might not have worked for you.

Nordstrom has some other long blazers but they seem to be less structured - unlined and more drapey.

Oh, Laura, you make me feel better. I do struggle with my generous upper arm size so maybe the original NAS one wouldn't work even in an XXL. This helps me let go of the idea. Thank you!
I'm gonna keep my eyes open, seems I'm after a unicorn here. I see a lot in the gray/black colors but I'm not sold on that for me.
Thanks again!
