$1,898 There were a million blazers at the Ralph Lauren flagship store. Most looked like something fresh out of my mom's closet. But one I did like—which just so happened to be the most expensive one—was this Black Label jacket. Made of lamb's wool, the chocolate version had amazing, swirling embroidering motif that was ornate, not ostentatious. The combo of wool and tweed would keep me warm on chilly nights, but the price tag was out of my range. 867 Madison Ave., at 72nd St.; 212-606-2100. |
