A dark shirt (we’re talking about coats and ties here, not shirts for clubbing) has always been considered both in bad taste and the mark of the lower, and even criminal, classes.

Definitely orphaned suit jacket. And a bad one at that.Do you all consider this a blazer or its looks more like an orphaned suit? I haven’t seen jetted pockets on blazers before. I appreciate your input
