You won't get much for $150. Unless you're paying under $50 and intend to wear it for a year, I would avoid H&M or Zara because they have now started using synthetic fabrics and the construction is appaling.

However, you can sometimes find deals at Club Monaco. Club Monaco still uses decent fabric and their clothing is now casual (along the lines of J.Crew) which is line with what you're looking for.

You can find deals at Banana Republic if you are patient and use discount-stacking to your advantage. Their clothing is marked up ridiculously, but you can find decent blazers in their Heritage or Monogram lines for 50-70% retail. For example, I picked up a suit blazer with Italian fabric (or so they claim) from their Monogram line for about 75% off the retail price. I am a bit of a hunter, so your results may vary.

Good luck.
