Where are you wearing it? Belk's or Macy's will be as good as any. Men's Warehouse could maybe get you into one for $60.00. Good Will or a Garage or Estate Sale, for maybe $20.00 if you are not hard to fit.

Oh no - I forgot this is the OT. You could take your private Jet to Italy and get a nice bespoke one, then fly on over to Hong Kong for a shirt.

Edited to add:

I guess we have hurt your feelings.

I don't like short and tight. Whoever is working the men's dept. will steer you in the right direction. I do like gold buttons Three on the front and three on the sleeves. Cut to stop 1/4 inch shorter than the cuffs of the long sleeve shirt you will wear. Wear the shirt you want to wear with it when you go and have them fit it to that.

I have seen guys with cutoff jeans, flip flops, and an untucked long sleeve shirt trying to get a coat fit, so don't let us tell you that is tacky.

What size are you? I have a couple (Navy, Purchased at an actual Men's Store - well cut, good fabric, wool blend, not polyester) that are too big for me. I might just give you one of them.

Brand? If you're framing the question like that, you don't want to spend the money, and the people you'll be around won't know the difference, anyway.

Just go to a decent men's store and ask a nice salesperson to help you, then once you've found the one that works best, have them tailor it for you. Seriously, don't skip that last bit.

Do you need it for an interview or what? There are some with gold buttons and some with plastic buttons. Just go find one that fits well and go with it, don’t overthink it.

Be prepared to swap buttons if you find a blazer you like in terms of fit and material.

One of my favorite blazers I bought years ago had horrible looking buttons. A tailor was able to replace them easily.

Go to Belk for anything men’s dress clothes related. Good brands. Cheap. It’s the new Stein Mart.

For younger relatively in shape guys, suit supply is a good option
