Sharp non-tweed jacket thread

Yeah, sorta. So many pics are being shot, or cropped, from this angle, tuff to tell. And you get zero idea of silhouette. Of course the pocket square is bad news, but points for no tie. Less a point for crazy lapel. And, it looks kinda tweedy. Better jackets are currently being posted by a tiny person in the Isaia fit thread, adjacent to this one.

Whoops. Guess guy is wearing a tie. No reflection on you Sarge, but I don't think I like this fit at all. Been a while since I've seen bile, but I think the color can be found somewhere on that jacket. Good idea for a thread though. Lay some more on us.

Even though it breaks my rule against mixing stripes and plaids I rather like it. I agree it’s a good concept for a thread. Maybe some day when I’m wearing my vintage sack red/blue Madras I’ll subject an unsuspecting world to a photo!

I like this too — just not that pocket square.

I like the jacket design and can easily visualize such a garment as being a treasured part of my wardrobe, but alas, I fear it would see but limited wear during the winter months, in my closet!

Nice.

That sort of garment often has useless epaulets to give it that Daktari look. That one doesn't. Good for that one. Outstanding collar, and the way It's maintained.

I could definitely find a place for that in my closet

Now where did this come from? I've got the blue linen from Ascot Chang but haven't seen this.

I just saw it on Tumblr. I have no idea. Perhaps a Google image search?


Ed. to add: The only reference I can find is to something called Gentleman Farmer x Americana but it's in French and I can't figure out what it's saying. Sure is a good looking safariana, though, isn't it?

The final three jackets pictured are very workable in terms of fitting into many of our wardrobes, but that white number in the first photo...Oh hell no!

PS: I wouldn't want to get caught out in a high wind with the lapels on that DB number. LOL.

I favor the check, myself.

If I had to pick just one out of that group of jackets, the blue check jacket would be my choice as well!

O for ch***t's sake you two, go big or go home. It's the last one you want, the one with the bat wings. She be super superb. I'd crawl into that in a New York minute. And there is no blue check jacket. You mean the light blue glen plaid?

I have a BB Jacket that looks very much like that...SWMBO calls it my "used car salesman's jacket!" I'll have to take a picture of it and try to get it to post under this new format.
