Hey guys, i purchased this Jacket(when i bought it i thought it was a sport coat) approx 6 months ago on a Lord and Taylor's discount rack for a stupdendous 15$. The Jacket fits me well, but i *think* that this jacket is part of a suit, and alas I cannot find the matching pant.

Maker: Calvin Klein
Made in: Jordan
Type: To my knowledge it seems to be FUSED. I think i did th e pinch test right.
Size:It says Large
Pictures Below





If this does belong to a suit, can anybody direct me to a proper place to find the matching pant?

The reason it was a stupendous $15 is almost certainly that the trousers for the suit had been lost or damaged and almost no one wants an orphaned suit jacket. There are very few places that will sell you the jacket or trousers of a suit separately and I don't think CK or L&T are among them.

That being said, you don't really see a lot of suit jackets with ticket pockets. There certainly are some, but it seems unusual to me. I would vote that it's a sport coat.

the size is "large". it's clearly a sport coat. enjoy and relax and wear it whenever the hell u want.

if it was a suit coat, the CK ones all have measurements (like "44R")

If I remember my reading of "The Suit" correctly, it was a pocket that English gentlemen put their train tickets in when they visited the countryside.
