Show off the sports coats.

Thanks for the measurements Nik! Now the weather is finally cooling down here after 6 and a half months of nasty heat, you've inspired me to start getting back into a few nice sport coat and trouser combos.

I wish I had that many sports jackets, Rabbit! Unfortunately, I'll have to suffice with wearing my more common (around 14, I'm not quite sure) suit jackets as separates.

Picked this up today. Really like it and it was cheap. It's either late 60s or 70s can't tell but it's styled like a 50s atomic fleck.

Here's pics of the sportscoat but more proper .

Very nice; I love that particular kind of lapel (smaller than collar and, in some other specimen, also roundish), very distinctive of the Sixties apparel.

Thanks, Benny and Michael. The flecked cream flannel jacket is really something.

Love that large herringbone....

Love the flecked and fedora James. Every flecked jacket looks better with a fedora!

Here's a vintage inspired jacket done by a local tailor here in Houston.

Looks great!

Got this a few weeks back but forgot to post it . A goodwill find . If anyone could help date it I'd appreciate it. I think 50s has no tags at all and no rear vent.

Looks good, Hamilcar. Can you provide some specs? 3 roll 2? Some details of the process would be appreciated, for example was there picture you drew inspiration from?
Also I think the jacket deserves clearer pics- Let's have a look at it from a straighter angle.

Thought I might as well post them all. 1 jacket per reply, so as to make thread turnover easier. Agh, I don't know the technical term, but I hope you get the idea.

Electric blue 60s jacket, maybe mohair or silk. Heavily shaped silhouette, two button cuffs, jetted pockets, single vent, plain back, notch lapel, single breasted, bright paisley lining.

Jacket 2:

Cream wool. Ultra-wide peaked lapels, unusual patch pockets, single breasted, single vent and decorative stitching.

 

[Awesomest Guy]

Jacket 3:

Nice heavy tweed, very roughly woven. Patch pockets, SB, notch lapels, single vent.

 

[Awesomest Guy]

Jacket 4:

Anthony Squires 3 button roll 2 chocolate brown striped sports coat, single breasted, single vent, flap pockets.

I replaced the buttons with mother of pearl.

Jacket 5:

I'll probably wear this one a lot once I get round to alterations.
2-button SB, merino wool, grey plaid (the plaid is black and sky blue). Slim notch lapels, flap pockets, double back vents.

Sleeves are far too long. Oh well, at least its an easy operation. Slimming the body down should be simple as well.

Jacket 6:

First navy blazer, and possibly my favourite. Wool-cashmere blend, SB, notch lapels, gold buttons, flapped pockets, single vent.
It's a tiny bit on the short side, although I find that works nicely with high-rise trousers.

Jacket 7:

DB 4x1, peak lapels, hopsack fabric, single vent, jetted pockets. A tad on the shapeless side, but oh well.
