For more than a decade, Mack Weldon has been building out a catalog of elevated men’s basics that’s pretty tough to beat. Few can rival this New York-based brand’s combo of style, comfort and price.

The unstructured, unlined garment has just a bit of a stretch (thanks to the spandex), plus a double back vent, ensuring it can move with you.

The best example is probably the ACE Sweatshort 9.5″, a $68 garment with more than 3,400 reviews and an average rating of 4.7. Perhaps that’s why they carried that nameplate (and its key ingredient) over into a whole new category: the blazer.

So what makes this inaugural blazer worth a closer look? It’s hard not to start with the main material, micro-brushed French terry. Composed of 89% cotton, 8% polyester and 3% spandex, it can only described as “buttery,” in the best possible way.

As they have with the hugely popular hoodies, sweat pants and sweat shorts that also employ this material, Mack Weldon pays close attention to the details here.

Toward that end, the unstructured, unlined garment has just a bit of a stretch (thanks to the spandex), plus a double back vent, ensuring it can move with you.

In addition to a couple of hand pockets, there’s an internal chest pocket on the left side, complete with a zipper for securing small essentials. Consistent with Mack Weldon’s user-friendly vibes, the ACE Blazer is machine washable.

The overall effect is a jacket that looks pretty dang sharp for $168, perfect for rounding out a buttoned shirt, pants and boots combo or dressing up a hoodie, jeans and Chucks.

Our only real knock at this point? That it’s not available in more colors. Here’s hoping that changes soon.
