How To Pick and Buy Man’s Jacket

Incredibly versatile, a navy blazer is one of the core garments a man should own if he lives in a large city, near the water, or has a lifestyle where the wearing of suits and sports jackets needs to be bridged. A blazer should always be matched with odd trousers (never a fabric too similar) and is not a substitute for a suit; rather, it is meant to fill the void between a business suit and casual dress. Technically, blazers are more formal than light colored or rough weave sports jackets and about on par with a suit worn without a tie and loafers. A blazer is at home dressed up with a tie and dark slacks and is a natural dressed down in an open collar striped dress shirt, white trousers, and boat shoes. It’s easy to buy jacket but this article will help you if you have some questions on how to choose the jacket/blazer.

  8. How a Blazer Jacket Should Fit • A blazer should fit in the same fashion a suit jacket and sports coat should. • Room in the shoulders to allow full arm movement but not so much room that the shoulders are over extending the shoulder points by more than ½ inch. • Room in the chest to fully button the jacket but not enough to hide a baseball. • The blazer jacket sleeves should extend to the wrist bone and show ¼ to ¾ an inch of shirt cuff when standing straight. • The jacket length should always fully cover your backside – it can be a bit longer if you are taller than six foot, and should lean on the shorter side if you are shorter than five feet six. • Blazer jacket fit bow tie shoulders
