Not to everyone's taste, but the Sport coat (Blazer, Jacket) and Jeans combo has become a classic, it has even got its dedicated thread on StyleForum. Once provocative, worn by outsiders, it's now a men's staple, for the better… or worse (please avoid to mention Jeremy Clarkson).
Let's try the better here.
A few rules :

You can wear your Sport coat and Jeans with what you want, i would like to have participants from both boards, so S&M or EG jacket, RL or Orslow jeans are welcome.

The picture has to be fresh, recent and unseen : never posted before.

No outerwear over your sport coat, we are interested in the silhouette here, the textures. If you're cold, wear a tweed blazer with knitwear… Or take your picture inside.

Let it run two weeks.

Deadline for entries : February 2, 2020

@Butler @Alan Bee @Gus @macjedi, may I please request your participation?

Happy New Year Cher Monsieur!!

If I’m honest, this is one look I’ve never been quite able to pin down. Most of my coats are cut quite full which demands a full cut pair of trousers. Whenever I’ve tried on a sport coat with jeans (despite my jeans being high rise from Iron Heart Japan), I always end up shaking my head in disapproval.

@Clouseau I’m happy to give it a try but no guarantees ?

Which one is the more recent (and never been posted) ?

As usual when you post several pics Gents, if you don't precise which one you like best, I will choose one for the voting thread.
Those are all Slewfoot :lol:.

Can we include him for laughs? Sure, pick whichever one you want.
