Men's Big and Tall Sport Coats and Blazers

Men's big and tall sports coats and blazers are the perfect finishing touch to any men's outfit.

One of the best reasons to invest in men's big and tall sports coats and blazers is the fact that this jacket can go just about anywhere and fit in beautifully. These jackets are the ultimate solution when you need to look appropriate but not fancy. Some places where you may want to wear this look include:

• Weddings: Many men hate the "monkey suit" look, and if you're not part of the wedding party, a sport coat can be a good solution.

• Funerals: Funerals, while not an event that anybody looks forward to, are still apart of life; a blazer is also well suited for this occasion.

• Romantic Dates: You'll want to look presentable on your romantic excursions and few fashion items can beat the great combination of a blazer and jeans.

This, by all means, is not an exclusive list, but it does set the overall parameters of all the different events however this s type of jacket is perfectly appropriate.

Note that several of these shopping sites either specialize in sport coats or blazers, though in at least one (Causal Male XL), you'll be able to find a combination of both. Try:

Shop Style was a comprehensive collection of sport coats, all of which are incredibly chic and stylish. Most, if not all of the sport coats featured here are from Nordstrom, and perhaps unfortunately, have the prices to match (some go for as much as a thousand dollars)!

However, you can find a relatively "cheap" sports coat form Ralph Lauren. For example, the Princeton Courtney Sport Coat is a classically styled blazer that's made in medium-wale corduroy with woven leather buttons. There's even that time-honored tradition of leather elbow patches. The overall appearance then is one of sophisticated style. You can expect to pay about $325 for this coat.

Casual Male XL is the site to bookmark for the big and tall man. That's because everything you could possibly need to look sharp and presentable is housed here. Specifically, the sport coats and blazers come in a wide array of colors and in a variety of fabrics and finishes.

For example, the Gold Series Houndstooth Windowpane Sport Coat offers the classic, yet subtle pattern of the "windowpane" overlay. However, lest you think that "classic" means old fashioned, turn your eye to the "flexible jacket-relaxer".

Sewn into the shoulder panels, this extra step provides additional comfort, while bringing the look into the 21st century. A notched lapel, a welt chest pocket, a two button front and front flap pockets completes the look. You can expect to pay $175.00 for this look. Additionally, it's worth noting that at a median price of $175.00, most of these styles are pretty affordable.

Kohl's also has a handsome collection of sports coats and blazers, including:

• Chap 2-Button Blazer: Available exclusively online, this blazer features a classic notched collar, a two-button front, along with matching button accents along the cuffs. A chest pocket, front flap pockets and interior pockets, rounds out the look. Available for $109.99.

• Chaps Olive Tic Worsted Wool: Done in a lovely olive green, this jacket is a classic, but modern enough to be worn with flair. This look is available for $119.00.

• Chaps Sport Coat: Available for $119.00, this coat comes in several different colors, including black, brown and chamois (a medium shade of beige).

For even greater choices, you can also try Davis' Big and Tall. There you'll find a large collection of styles, most of which are reasonably priced at around $99.00. Also worth investigating is:

• Size Matters

• Contempo Suits

• Discount Designers Menswear Inc.
