I am looking to purchase a blazer type jacket to wear for an upcoming gig. I was curious if you guys knew of any online sources for such a jacket that looks the part. My guess is that they are kind of an older retro type style but lots of people in entertaiment wear such a garment. Billy Joel often wears this type but I don't think I should wear jeans as by no means am I Billy Joel! Anyway, just curious where gig type clothing has been procured by you guys/websites etc. Oh, I will be playing a piano/vocal gig in a country club for a dinner (55+ community) thanks!

That's excellent advice. You should be able to find exactly what you are looking for secondhand.
local Salvation Army, Good Will...any other used clothing outlets...and outlet stores.

Very interesting. Funny, since I am also a professional cellist, played in some local orchestras, I already have the tux! But I thought that might be overkill, also, kind of embarassing doing setup and tear down in tux although i guess you could lose the tie/jacket and cummerbun (rough word) for that. Also, I've lost 35 pounds PLUS when i got the tux, I seemed be getting ever big so I got it big too, ug. Must swing by GW and see what they have.

Thats kind of what I meant by "ive been having a lot of fun with it....."
I wasn't planning on wearing it in the traditional manner, btw...
