couldn't a tailor add one?

@nahneun
ye, I'd pass


Nope. A tailor could cut the **** for one but there isn't enough fabric to overlap the vents so there would basically only be a **** there.




Thanks.


Flecked blazers, a garment first introduced by the Tunisian military, have traditionally been worn without vents.

I know this is SWD and all, but if you wear a flecked blazer that has a single or dual vent, people with even a faint knowledge of "the rules" will laugh at you


I can't tell if you're serious or are screwing with me. I googled it and I've seen a bunch of them have vents, but it appears an Our legacy one doesn't have vents.

Wait a sec, are you saying there's a constellation blazer for sale? Where?

Also, can a tailor add flecks to a blazer?

With an box cutter and a severe mental imbalance, anyone can de-fleck a blazer

Our Legacy is known for their meticulous respect for traditional details, so it doesn't surprise me that they'd design their jacket the way the 18th century Tunisian army originally intended

No it is not a constellation blazer.

Barena linen jacket.

I don't think I would get this at full price, but if it drops I would be tempted.

lower button looks wonky in fit pic, noticed that too late.
