Building your Wardrobe: Sportcoats

  • Опубліковано 19 бер 2022
  • Sportcoats are a staple in any man's wardrobe, but they tend to be neglected and gathered piecemeal through impulse purchases. The result is a collection of jackets, most of which you never wear, relying instead on a few favourites. Okey explains how to choose sportcoats for different occasions and seasons, and what colours will best suit your needs. Needless to say, AskOkey can supply them.

    Classic Blazers and Sportcoat game is on fire. Appreciate the details of the fabrics, construction and the purpose of each. That glen check rust with blue is just beautiful.
    Noted on the Tropical Wool and Summer Hopsack selections for Summer instead of going the Linen route. Especially for those of us in hot climates.

    Guys leave a comment for the algorithm so more people get to see this great content! Proff, thanks as always. What fabric would you suggest for a Navy DB Blazer that can be worn in varying seasons and that can easily be dressed down and worn casually? With cotton pants etc...Im leaning towards no or half lining and soft shoulders.

    • @AskOkeyInc
      @AskOkeyInc  2 роки тому +2

      @ichder jogi. Thank you for the kind comments Ichder.
      Regarding your inquiry on a navy blazer, I’d suggest a Hopsack Weave by Smith Woolens. It’s a lovely and robust 13oz wool from the Botany Bunch. Tailors exceedingly well. Check out our Instagram post from two days ago for a specimen of this cloth made into a traditional blazer @askokeyig.

      @@ruliadultra Mighty, I think tipped ties look nicer because they are sown at the edge. Of course one wouldn’t know this merely looking at the tie. But the wearer would know. Functionally, am not sure there’s any difference. I get most of my bespoke ties tipped.
      As to a potential AskOkey Get Together, this is something we’ve been thinking about. How we we just launched in January so we’re gonna give it a few quarters to build up some critical mass. We do have a blueprint for a members club which will be unveiled soon. Hope this helps. PROFF

    tip from the pros: buy a navy hopsack suit and you can use the jacket on its own as a blazer.

    • @AskOkeyInc
      @AskOkeyInc  10 місяців тому +2

      Not always sir. See it depends on the “density” of the Hopsack weave
      Hopsack made for suiting is usually less dense (and smoother) than that for jacketing
      And conversely, a TRUE Hopsack meant for jacketing cannot be used for trousers
      So in a sense, yes you have a point. But you have to very careful in your choice.
