        Canvassing is the stuff that goes in between the sort of satin lining and the wool (or whatever the face of the jacket is)

            I love a good blazer. I really lament the loss of two of my faves, Steven Alan (still exists, but nowhere near what it once was, before the company was sold) and Freeman's Sporting Club (permanently closed). If anybody's got any recs for well made ones a little above casual, I wouldn't mind hearing em.

              I used to have loads when office work required something a little more formal, I’ve got 3 left, an unlined/unstructured tweed Polo one with patch pockets, a soft shouldered Brioni in a cashmere check and a slightly more formal Chester Barrie in a herringbone cashmere.

                And for a soft tailoring/unstructured look, Drakes are probably the masters of that.

                  @seawolf In the same vein as your idea to roll the lapel down…. James Bond wears a 3 button rollover. It’s a 3 button that is made/pressed to be worn mostly as a 2 button. The 3rd button hole is visible towards the bottom of the left lapel. You pop the collar and button the 3rd button if the weather gets bad. I have mine made that way. It makes you feel 2% cooler.

                    @Go-For-Chill Hard to argue with that logic! Which Bond in particular?

                      i have several that i wear with jeans and boots (western). i’ll dig up and post a couple pics. coupled with a dress shirt or nice uncollared shirt looks sharp to me. form days where i had to wear suit & tie daily but occaisionally could wear denim vs slacks.

                                I've just reminded myself that Billy Reid and Sid Mashburn have some good offerings — can be hit or miss, but def some keepers in there. Also I've seen quite a few cool jackets at that No Man Walks Alone shop, but their stuff seems to sell out pretty quickly.

                                This thread is also just telling me that I need to get off my ass and buy a new suit one of these days. I'm not the lanky indie rocker I used to be. Trying on the suit I have would be... comical to say the least.

                                        It looks great on you, but seeing it on someone gives me enough context to understand the jacket a little better, and I don't think it's the look I'm going for. Thank you so much for sharing!

                                        Wow. You weren't kidding about the prices.

                                        I found one at Billy Reid, thanks to you, that's on my short list.

                                        @mikebarhoot Looking good! John Varvatos has an insanely nice goatskin sport coat that I would snatch up in a heartbeat, but it's over $2K.

                                          My job is “business casual.” I’ve gotten away with jeans every day so far in 2025; mostly by throwing on a blazer.

                                            @Go-For-Chill It's a pretty amazing way to elevate a casual look. I have to get up in front of people a lot to present my work, and having a nice blazer will be a great way to be presentation-ready at all times.
