Striped rowing blazer fabrics

[Son Of Saphir]

Where is a good source for striped blazer fabrics?
Would prefer something in the 12 oz worsteds but can compromise with the right type of pattern fabric.

Here are some books, but what about others?

I've always thought these were club-style blazers for people who were part of those particular rowing clubs/teams...is that not the case? Are generally styled rowing blazers a thing? thinking primarily of the UL here...

Did you mean the UK?

Boating blazers were common outside of rowing clubs as far back as the 1920s at least.
They were worn by original Mods in the 1960s and revival Mods from the late seventies onwards.
I own four and the nearest to membership of a rowing club I ever came was renting the row boats at Durham and rowing my gf down the River Wear.

I know @An Acute Style and @Andy57 are also owners.

Sorry, yea meant UK. I always thought they were like repp ties over there, which are a bit more insider/affiliation driven than they are over in the US.

Honestly I think that’s a bit of a myth too these days given the once vast preponderance of striped ties and then the current era where ties are no longer very common.

I wouldn’t advise wearing direct clones of prestigious school and regiment ties especially near their respective buildings but outside of those institutions I doubt many people would recognise what stripe belongs with what place.

I’m proud of my Dad’s RAF service. I have a nice grenadine in RAF colours but the stripes go the opposite direction which works for me on the slim chance that someone might recognise the pattern and be curious if I’m perpetrating stolen valour!

I am. I have a couple. Neither of them have anything to do with an actual club.
