Is a fresco blazer a good idea?

[DapperDolphin2]

I want to buy a 2 patch pocket fresco navy blazer, but I'm unsure if fresco is too smooth a fabric for a blazer. Would it look like an orphaned suit jacket, or would it look fine if I were to wear it with something as casual as chinos?

I don’t think it’s an either or proposition. Fresco is just as appropriate made into a blazer or sport coat or into a suit.

Thank you, I've just seen concerns that fresco is only appropriate as a suiting fabric, so I didn't want to commit an expensive faux pas.

I think fresco is more commonly used for summer trousers, but it would be fine as a jacket. Lighter colored buttons are one way to make it look less like an orphaned suit jacket.
