I know... I am feeling its pull too.

 

Oh, and I agree on the velvet + jeans combination. A good bit of rough brown Harris Tweed can also work well. Well, frankly almost any SC with enough texture and/or pattern works with jeans. You've just got to look like you mean it.

Agreed. Why does it keep getting it bumped? Haven't enough people weighed in or is he trying to turn this into a show off your sport coat with jeans thread?

Two points. First, by "jeans" we all mean "denim", not the way the pants are cut, right? I have moleskin "jeans", for example, that are perfect with a tweed jacket.

Second, as someone else pointed out, it depends a lot on the sports coat. I suggest a variation of Fuuma's rule about wearing sneakers. If the sports coat looks like something you might actually do some sort of sport in, e.g., a long walk, it will work with jeans. If it doesn't, it won't.

For example, a corduroy jacket works perfectly. Something with a self-stripe? Probably not. For this reason, I really don't like the velvet jacket + jeans look. I find it too intentionally edgy, sort of like the people who wear tennis shoes with DJs.

Come on, the velvet jacket and jeans look has been around since the 60s at least. Velvet jacket and jeans plus scarf is a college classic. You can hardly call it 'edgy'!

i find nothing wrong with wearing dark velvet jacket and jeans, though i believe it's more appropriate for the evening.

Look on the left is a failure to integrate jeans, everything else is too dressed up; he'd be better off with moleskine pants or cords. The guy on the right should tell his mother to stop ironing his jeans, he looks like a dork.

Well, people did a lot of things in the 60s. wink.gif

I don't say that it isn't done, I just think it doesn't work very well. I bet back in the 60s it was intended to be hip and ironic. It may be "mainstream" now but there are few things sadder than something hip and ironic that becomes commonplace. For example, I always get a laugh out of snowboard clothing. Intentionally ugly clothes featuring pictures of skulls cranked out by giant corporations and sold to rich white kids in Sportsmart. Fight the Power, you rebels!

Isn't the guy on the right wearing khakis?

As a sidenote, I love that overcoat.
