Oxxford jacket

[Jutter]

I bought this dark navy Oxxford jacket on e-bay. (150$).
Can anyone tell me some more about it. I'm new here trying to gather some information on Oxxford jackets. Thanks in advance.

Do a search on Oxxford but it looks like the jacket you purchased is pretty recent. The only question is if it was orphaned from a suit.

With Oxxford if the buttons have two holes it's a sport coat, four and it's a suit coat.

What is the cut of Oxxford? Trad? Slim british darted? Neapolitan?

All depends on the model. I'm don't know the models well enough to give you a rundown, but it's my understanding that it varies widely.

They do have a range of models, but overall, it's a conservative American cut. Natural shoulders, often single vent, darted but without major waist suppression.

Gotcha. Sorry for the TJ, but us there an official word for the "savile row" look?

So this one would appear to be a suit coat then. It would probably look ok as a odd jacket anyways given the fabric but perhaps others would disagree.

For this, I'll refer you to some essential reading from Manton:
