I don't care what it "officially" is, it's not called "The Green Blazer".

On a serious note (sorry folks) what shade of green?

I've got a couple of Olive toned sports jackets and they work with greys, browns, navy.

Bottle green is almost impossible to work with IMO.

They even have brass buttons. Which in its self doen't make it a blazer. I believe I have hear them called "The Green Blazer". Newb is blazing away, huh?!!

This is the pic i got from the ebay auction, i'll post better pics once the blazer arrives, should be in the next few days. The green can be seen right between the "made in italy" label and the hanger.

I would try that late spring or early fall, when that green is prominent outside, maybe with light tan chinos, a light blue buttondown, and some medium brown shoes. If that doesn't work for you, you could wear it to the race track with with a bright polo and barking-loud plaid pants.

Plaids in heathery olive and forest tones yes, solid green, not so much.

You could wear it a la edmorel, burnt orange pants (possibly cords), lightblue shirt and darkblue tie.
