JAMES LEE WALL, 40, was strolling through downtown Manhattan in September when a blazer stopped him in his tracks. “I was walking by that Italian men’s store, Boglioli—they had a camel-colored cashmere blazer in the window,” said the real-estate broker. “I stood there for five minutes thinking, ‘Man, I need to get that blazer.’” Though he hasn’t yet taken the plunge, he’s still thinking about the jacket. Throwing on [a blazer] adds that extra touch.”It’s an extra others want, too, said New York personal stylist Turner Allen, who caters to tech hotshots. In 2022 Brooks Brothers clocked a 44% year-over-year jump in blazer sales, according to a brand spokesperson.
