Blazer/suit jacket

    I need a blazer/suit jacket. All my life, I've wanted one of those tweet/herringbone jackets - preferably grey - with leather elbow-patches. Now, I know I missed the boat on them being fashionable, but I still like them, in my typical hipster kinda way.

    Basically, I want something hip/sharp but not too formal to compliment my existing wardrobe for work (my work area is mostly semi-formal).

    I can't find anything I like the look of since Topman, Zara, etc. changed their stock, and none of the usual recycled clothes stores (Harlequin, etc.) have anything that remotely fits well.

    Closest I came was one jacket in Zara (single button).

    I need it pretty soon. Suggestions please!

    How much are you willing to spend? A friend got an amazing one at the Jack Wills outlet in Kildare Village... But it was close to €300!

    Have you been to all the vintage shops? I'm not even sure if they all even do menswear, but definitely hit Golly Gosh (beside where Eamon Doran's was in Temple Bar), 9 Crow St (Crow St Temple Bar), Flip/Sharpsville (Fownes St Temple Bar) and Urban Outiftters (Temple Bar).

    Hi, thanks, what I'm looking for in some ways ... but more something like ... but with similar fabric to the other one, perhaps? Good enough price, though.
