Sport Coats and Jeans

[TheJoker932]

when I was in my mid teens I used to wear a blazer with black jeans sometimes
but I could never bring myself to put a waistcoat on as well
the jeans could have passed for needle cords but I'd still know

Not quite sure why jeans should be high waisted to wear them with a jacket. I wear my jackets with cheap medium waisted Wranglers and it looks OK IMO:

I like this. The balance between jacket and jeans looks good (silhouette wise).

ive been thinking about it. As a general rule, what fabrics work best against denim? Somehow a really refined fabric clashes against the texture of the denim. Maybe a tweed jacket like above?

I’m skeptical, overall, with a blazer, maybe even cashmere or flannel.

Really great jacket. Who makes it? and what size is that?

It’s bespoke, so it’s my size Smth between 50 (chest, back, shoulders) and 48 (waist). Made by Dawid Kuklinski, tailor from Poland. Here are some details about it:

Well anything looks good with a well cut bespoke jacket

No, I think he's right. The casual nature of jeans, with the fabric + cut, lends itself well to casual jacketing pairings. Casual jackets + casual denim works well, as long as you don't go full cowboy (although I'd wear the heck out of this fit if I were riding my horse into town).

Yes, well Rabbit's jackets already have a rather low buttoning point and is a bit longer than your common RTW jackets you see on men who wears jackets and jeans.

This is what I was getting to above. If you take a 4 ply suit jacket, for example, and break it up using it as a jacket, I don't think it'd look good with denim. Whereas the casual tweed (not sure what the specific fabric is) of rabbit looks great. I have a navy donegal tweed jacket, I'm not sure would look great with denim, even though its bespoke.

Perhaps the answer is that patterns work well with denim - idk. What fabrics during the summer would work best with denim?

Also, whats wrong with going full cowboy? I prefer my jeans with cowboy boots!

Where did you get the jacket? I really like the style of it.

I think that could look quite good, if the cut is relaxed enough. I remembered this picture. Maybe something like this would be nice?

Gray herringbone tweed
More or less any brown tweed

probably a wool/linen/silk gun check for summer?

@emptym has a great undyed PoW check that looks great with jeans

@emptym fit pic please.

I think this is the one @mak1277 is referring to:

It's prob my favorite jacket. The fabric is a Breanish tweed made of two colors of unbleached, undyed wool, organized by the late, great @T4phage. @SpierTeam has a similar jacket for sale, iirc, just a smaller check.

Anyone tried Berg & Berg jeans? They seem to be good value now, being on sale, but I’ve never had such a high rise. Any experience or thoughts?

I bought the lightest version of their jean and the fit is different, but really nice imo. The high rise is comfy and the denim is pretty lightweight.
