I'm pretty sure that 99% of the population would think that looks very good.
I agree. But then again my goal in dressing is being well dressed without getting dressed up. To achieve my style I look to classic menswear for inspiration and not rules. I have no probelm wearing sports coats or blazers with jeans and without a tie. Something that most of the vocal members on this forum frown upon.
The goal in wearing orphan jackets is matching them with trousers that are cut in a similar way a suit trouser. This way you can maintain the sleek silhouette of the original suit. Suit jackets are formal attire. If you want to wear it with jeans, there will be already a contrast between the formal and the informal. IMO faded jeans this contrast will be too much. Choose jeans that are darker in colour with no designs.
