If you’ve kept up with the blog on the regular, you’re more than aware of the excellent, all-American style being put out seemingly every week (and certainly every season) by the good folks at Buck Mason.

They’re one of my personal favorite brands — and they’re one of the best menswear brands around — thanks to an emphasis on rugged, timeless staples, be it Eddie Bauer x Buck Mason bomber jackets or the best crewneck shirts on the market.

But what about those times when duty calls and you need a more refined look? Yes, Buck Mason can assuredly help you there: Just dive into Buck Mason casual suiting (as we will very shortly!) and update your shopping list accordingly. Let’s start things off with a more specific look at the Buck Mason Italian Wool Flannel Blazer, a new launch from a brand that takes an easygoing-yet-utterly classic approach to tailoring.

In this case, that means pieces like the Buck Mason Italian Wool Flannel Blazer aren’t stuffy, uncomfortable or overly padded or structured at the shoulders or through the body of the jacket. Translation: If you feel uncomfortable wearing a more traditional blazer, I’d wager you won’t feel that uncomfortable in the slightest wearing the pleasingly casual-leaning Buck Mason Italian Wool Flannel Blazer.

Even more specifically, the brand drew inspiration from the effortlessly cool Ivy Leage stylings — blazers, Oxford shirting, chinos — that was filtered through Hollywood’s golden age by everyone from Fred Astaire to Steve McQueen.

Not bad for a blazer that can be yours for under $500, right? Heck, team the Buck Mason Italian Wool Flannel Blazer with the brand’s Graduate Pant, and you’re looking at a seriously cool, comfortable suit for men in a seasonally friendly, rich Italian fabric. Note that this suit does feature full-canvas construction for more shape, but it shouldn’t prove restrictive in the slightest.

It’s also designed with a classic 3-roll-2 look — three buttons grace the front of the jacket, but the lapels roll down to the second button. It’s an old-school, classy touch I certainly appreciate (and I hope you feel the same!).

It’s a huge added bonus that the brand that makes your favorite henley can also make your new favorite casual suit — one you can even style with the brand’s Oxford shirting and dark blue denim or chinos for an expert business casual look. Take a chance on the laidback style of the Buck Mason Italian Wool Flannel Blazer, then be prepared to wear it through fall and well into winter.
