ridiculous. for that price:

1. the buttoning points are aweful
2. the sleeve pitch is waay off causing creasing
3. the side vents dont even seem to be aligned.

for that price, you should just get a bespoke jacket.

I actually like the high gorge on the jackets, I don't know why but it makes it look much better to me considering I usually hate high gorges on blazers.
I also like the detail on the lapel, it gives it a more jacket look than a blazer, does that make sense?

And damn your Phillies NiiDawg! I can't believe Dodgers couldn't close out game 4.

Damn didn't know NiiDawg you were from Philly too? Where do you reside?

Aww man. Really good for 35 bucks. I'ma go Bucks hunting in a minute.

Not sure if you're looking for a hard case or soft case. I'm a sucker for LV stuff, but theirs would run a cool grand easily.

I also like this Tumi Villa Collection briefcase. It's around $500.

Thanks WjIV, that is a nicebriefcase. I think I may be leaning towards hard though.

Pr0phecy718 its on 51st btwn 11th and 12th. Not the best mens selection but the clothing is now 50% off the sale price. I plan on going back on the last day,Friday, and copping a few ties.

 

[ghostrideit]

can someone tell me the difference between a sportcoat, blazer, and suit jacket?

and where can i find some nicer shirts (not buttondown/collared) for not so expensive? I'm thinking good quality, inexpensive basics?

NP, man. There are times where I've thought about getting a brief case as well, carrying it is more comfortable for me. But walking fardistance between classes and breaks make me think otherwise.

To me, a sportscoat and blazer are just different names for the same thing, ie sneakers and tennis shoes. Suit jacket...it came with the pants. Blazers or sportscoat is the top part only and don't usually have a matching bottom piece.

I'm not sure what you mean by nicer shirts...if you don't want a collar, it's just a t shirt. There are essentially 3 different style ofshirts....polo, t shirt, long/short sleeve dress/casual shirt.

See, there's being different and there's standing out, with the red peacoat, it is more about standing out than being different.
I am not sure where you are from but here in SoCal, wearing a peacoat is being different. You don't see many people around here wear them, I think I'm the only one within a 10-20 mile radius.

I say be different by getting something more unique, like a peacoat with different details in olive. Or you can be different by going to a navy surplus store and buying an authentic one.
Not many people will have an authentic navy issued peacoat for sure.
For me, I am going with a double breasted peacoat-esque cardigan/sweater. It's different and not too warm, just right for the weather conditions in SoCal.

With the collars popped, it looks more like a peacoat.

RFX where did you end up getting that peacoat from?

 

[sloanboy]

anybody know were can i get some high top black leather clarks from?

1. Blazer: A blazer is stictly speaking a single breasted coat with bright school or team colours. These are often in bright coloured stripes. Theword blazer comes from "blazing" ... ie a jacket made of blazing colors ... green, blue etc etc. Blazers usually have some form of ensigna or logo onthem to identify the wearer of the blazer. Gold, Silver or Brass buttons in modern times were used as the ensigna or logo. Since no one wants to walk aroundwith a brooks brothers patch sewn on their shoulder or chest. So example ... Tiger Woods' PGA jacket is an example of a blazer .. bright colored, with theMasters logo on it. So anything you see a bright colored jacket, with gold buttons or logos, you probably have a blazer.

2. Sportscoat: Any orphaned jacket that is not a blazer ... ie, not made of blazing colors, no enscriptions, no logos, no gold/brass/silver logo buttons etc.Blazer and Sports Coat are now being used losely, and i do not think anyone would put a gun to your head for wrongly classifying the two.

3. Suit jacket: Simply put is an orphaned jacket belonging to a two piece or three piece suit. It is usually TERRIBLE to wear a suit jacket as a blazer/sportscoat since the cut is noticeably different. Unless you get a BlazerSuit ... lol. Where the jacket of the suit has been cut like a blazer or sports coat.

Yup, sadly the Dodgers, after a long hard fought season could not pull through.
Looks like the Angels are on their way out too.

[kix4kix]

Nice posts guys, keep this thread strong.

 

[wj4]

Picked this up from BR today. 3rd blazer this week, should complete the rotation now of winter essentials...got tweed, wool, and herringbone. Surprisinglythis doesn't need tailoring at all, the sleeves and width are nearly perfect. Albeit an inch can probably be taken out around the width.
