Do you wear a blazer?

I wear a blue sportcoat with horn buttons quite often. I would be lost without mine.

I have a RTW RL Polo jacket in lightweight navy blue cashmere, SB 3-button, center vent with brown horn buttons. That's as close I will probably ever get to wearing "˜a blazer'.

Jon.

I wear a Canali 3 button rolled to 2 with side vents and smoked grey buttons. I've worn it with jeans, grey flannels and other wool trousers, both with and without a tie depending on the situation. The only thing that prevents me from wearing it more is the fit. I've never been happy with how it fits me. I am going to try another tailor that was recommended to me and see if he can remedy the situation. So personally I get a lot of use out of it. I'm in my mid thirties though so take that for what it's worth.

I think that a blue jacket(I prefer blue horn buttons and I don't care that some may think that it's a orphaned suit jacket) is the single most versatile piece of tailored clothing in a gentleman's wardrobe. The first two acquisitions in building a wardrobe should be a solid gray suit and a blue jacket, which immediately will give you two outfits which incidentally are perfect for business travel.

Exactly my sentiments, as well. I've often thought about getting a true blazer, school buttons and all, but can't seem to justify it.

I've got a Burberry navy blazer that I wear to the occasional event. Its just a good looking classic style and is not limited to any age group. I'm 19 and I need to be in a suit or a blazer and slacks combo at least once a week, and to only wear suits or to completely ignore the navy blazer would get boring quickly for me. I've worn it with jeans and slacks. Its a very good multifunctional item to have kicking around.

I wear it to church and to conferences, where it's part of the "uniform". My blazer needs to be replaced and I want some distinctive touches on the next one, maybe a nice weave to the fabric (suggestions?), but definitely not the shiny brass buttons.

I resisted buying one well into my twenties because I never pictured myself as a "blazer person." I finally had one made with dark pewter buttons a few years ago, and wear it more than any other jacket. It is incredibly versatile - I don't know how I ever did without it.

I've never owned a blazer, but it seems like a good choice for adding a touch of class and style to my casual wardrobe. I'm thinking about having a dark burgandy, velvet 2B - SB ventless blazer, 4 button working cuffs and rounded notch lapels made using these - buttons. Dmntd

depending on skin complexion you might opt for a slightly lighter blue, retaining versatility but avoiding traditional blazer look (avoid shiny buttons too).

Sounds very interesting and I like those buttons. Post pictures if you have it made.

Welcome to the forum.

I wear a blazer on an almost daily basis. (My office is business casual, but it is a rather dressy "casual.") I love 'em - they are very versatile. Some are year-round, others are heavier wool for the colder months or ultra-light wool or cashmere for summertime.

I have worn blazers over the years but now have run with sportcoats strictly speaking. I have two Tom James made of very super fine 180's wool and the feel of the jackets are really soft and luxurious. I really love them. However, I must add that I wish I could send some pictures but I have not invested in a digital camera yet...I will though. I wear them when I am in casual meetings as an accountant and a financial consultant - as this is not so a fierce look. I wear my suits when I am negotiating deals and finance and when I need the power I wear my "f*** you pinstripes suit" and that really puts the fear of God in people. I prefer wearing sportcoats now to blazers as the blazer combination that I know or use to wear was a dark navy blazer with gold self emblem buttons of the family crest and beige pants and probably burgundy shoes. Very traditional I think. I hope this helps.
