BLKDNM was founded by the guy who founded J. Lindeberg. Assuming it's about the same level, there should be ok materials - I had a suit from his old brand which used Loro Piana fabrics, and the suede and nubuck jackets I've had from them seemed decent (but they never got that much wear since I transitioned towards more tailoring at that point).

The tailoring from BLKDNM is listed as mostly fully canvased with roped shoulders, much of it seem half lined. I think it's a decent sign that they actually list things like roped shoulders, it at least shows some intention of being attractive to people who know a bit about tailoring. Then again, they have a jacket listed as 55% polyester, 55% wool for sale for over 1500 euro, which makes me wonder...

it's relaxed structure fit, I would definitely consider if it's dirt cheap (alas it is not)

speaking of which if yoox measurement is actually correct (big if), this is quite short for 38 so I assume slim too?

Does this fall in sport coat or orphaned suit jacket category?


Orphaned. People might not notice, but it’ll be a lot harder to put together an outfit because of the subtlety to the pattern, texture, and lack of an overcheck.

Just started at a new school and for the first time in 3 years I have access to a majority of my wardrobe, so I've been trying to wear tailoring and suits on a daily or near-daily basis.

Once I've settled in a bit the plan is to start taking proper pictures again, with a real camera and dedicated fitpic location, but until then here's two recent outfits with my phone.
