That's called velvet but the pro's wear velour, exta points for a track suit.
Wait, this isn't the early '90s

So this type of jacket material is only good for clubs?Originally Posted by alwaysin
Its the kind of fabric that is only suitable for "Fashionistas". 99 times out of 100 it looks terrible.
If you are a bohemian poet whose house looks like a library then you might pull it off. (Or for that matter if you're a Shakespearean actor who shoots to fame by playing a time-travelling dandy-eccentric)
Normal people should avoid it at all costs. Consider it the Boss Level of sartorial creativeness.

Aluminum, with a gold anodized coating. Don't wear this jacket unless you are the guy in the photo.
