00:00 Sport Coat Mistakes: Introduction
As our culture has grown increasingly casual, sportcoats have become a more and more acceptable alternative to the suit when you look to dress up. In fact, many will prefer sport coats over suits for having greater flexibility when looking to dress up or down an outfit.
01:05 What Is a Casual Sport Coat?
Sportcoats have been a mainstay in most men’s closets for over a century now. They were originally either just worn-out jackets from someone’s pre-existing wardrobe or specially designed jackets, like the Norfolk jacket, used for outdoor activities.
As a rule of thumb, sport coats typically bear more casual features However, not all sportcoats are made equal and there are certainly more nuanced mistakes that can be made.
02:39 Mistake 1. Not Wearing a Sport Coat (Other Jacket)
03:49 2. Overloading The Outfit
04:40 3. Mis-matching Seasons
05:17 4. Leaving the Tags/Stitching On
06:06 5. Picking “Plain”
06:58 6. Picking Super-Structured Jackets
07:36 7. Wearing the Wrong Trousers
08:08 8. Thinking Any Sneaker Will Work
08:47 9. Fiddly Details
09:27 10. Dressing it Down…Too Much!
10:14 11. Wearing a Sport Coat for the Wrong Occasion
10:50 12. Not Wearing a Sport Coat (NO Jacket!)
Sportcoats are one of the cornerstones in classic menswear that everyone should consider at least owning one. What works best for you will come naturally over time, but everyone is going to have some growing pains as they develop their own unique taste.

I work in retail, and every time someone buys a suit for a given occasion, I always remind them to take those tags and stitching off. Even if they know, it's still good to remind them. I saw a mistake when visiting a local university, where a guy was really well-dressed, and he had forgotten to take the stitches out from the vent of the jacket. I really wanted to say something to him, but I couldn't bring myself to. I've become very knowledgeable with this kind of thing, so it's easy to notice.

@kaykunz4730 10 месяцев назад

I like sport coats very much and have a dozen of it. I made an experiment with one of my tweed sport coats to figure out how warm it will keep me. I walked to the nearest grocery store during a winter day with 34 degrees Fahrenheit. I wore an undershirt and a dress shirt underneath the jacket. I walk with purpose and have a fast pace. I arrived after 10 minutes and felt fine. One the way back, I started to sweat and had to reduce my walking speed and unbotton the jacket. Tweed is designed to keep you warm and it does the job very well.

I enjoy sport coats for their versatility. You can mix and match and they look nice without being too formal. I did make the tag mistake once as a teenager. I wore a new sport coat to church with the tag on the sleeve. My uncle noticed and immediately found a scissors to cut it off.

I work in a suit store: my pet peeve about sport coats is making your sport coat too tight. The trend is for slimmer cuts across the board, but nowhere in this video did you see a giant crease across the stomach from tailoring it too much.

@bronkobrumby776 10 месяцев назад

Well i own one Sport Coat (thick houndstooth Tweed) atm, and i wear it for the stable, means using it as for what it was designed for. In this case horse riding, after all, the art of riding is a very gentleman like sport. I usual combine it with a tie in a seasonal muted color and a poket square. Shirts are barrel cuff, Kent collar and in a light blue or gray, so that one cannot see the horsehair and dust too easy. Sometimes with a small lapel pin, and that's it. Of course combined with proper riding trousers and boots. But right know it's to warm here in centra Europe for the thick Tweed (36C/ 96.8F). ATM i wear my gray striped seersucker unstructured, non lined jacket for the stable. But as soon as the temps will drop, it will be time for the Tweed. For daily wear i prefer my blue/brown mikro-check and navy double-breasted jackets.

Re: the point about pinstripes at 2:52 - I have seen Brian Sacawa from HeSpokeStyle wearing, of all things, a grey flannel chalk stripe jacket from a suit with dark denim, a roll neck (turtleneck) & dress boots. He's one of the few I've seen pull this off & I think it's because the stripes are wider set and there was a lot of texture. It sounds weird, I know, as the suit has very 1930s-40s associations but it might work better than a smooth worsted wool fine pinstripe

@chief6541 10 месяцев назад

Interesting point, however, the exception does not make the rule. It's best to understand all the rules, practice them and then decide which ones to break on an individual basis taking context such as outfit synthesis into the equation.

@thechairman74 10 месяцев назад

Brian does put together some, um, interesting outfits that I wouldn't wear myself, mainly because I don't own the items in this one outfit, but also just because I wouldn't bother trying that hard. This was in an Instagram post from June of 2022 where he matched a double breasted navy jacket (that looked like it was part of a suit, or at least an odd jacket) with white jeans, striped dress shirt and brown suede loafers.

@Molach101 10 месяцев назад

@@thechairman74 I think most of Brian's tailored jackets are suit-separates & come with trousers. He likes to mix and match for videos quite often, so his patch pocket navy hopsack jacket also comes with navy hopsack trousers (not the most durable material for trousers, from personal experience). He doesn't just have beige or khaki cotton chinos, he has an entire beige cotton suit, an entire light grey winter flannel suit etc

@jrooney58 7 месяцев назад

When I first watched this video, I thought it was ridiculous to admonish people to take off the label and basting stitches. No one would that, I thought. Until this past week. Periodically I venture into Washington DC. This past week, while I was in the city to visit my tailor, I stopped for lunch at a nearby deli. While eating, I noticed a young man, dressed in a rather nice business suit. The gentleman was clearly from one of the myriad of consulting firms or lobbying firms that maintain offices nearby. What caught my attention was that he had taken off his suit jacket and draped it over the back of the chair next to him. The label was still on the sleeve and the basting stitches were still keeping the vents of his jacket closed. I have never, ever, seen anyone do that before, much less someone who clearly needs to wear a suit on a regular basis. But there you have it.

In the beginning my sartorial journey I practiced wearing ties first daily to make me used to wearing something on my neck. Now scarves are my trusty neckwears because they are very versatile. I have silk scarves for warm weather and wool and cashmere for cold. They look more casual but refined. I can tie them to look more like casual ascot or formal cravat.

I’m of the opinion that sport coats in rougher fabrics are perfectly appropriate to wear with cargo pants. If it’s acceptable to wear sport shirts like polos with them, cargo pants make sense. Maybe not the more maximalistic cargo pants like the ones shown in the video, though.

Technically there aren't any dress loafers, [and I really don't like loafers, anyway] but it would also depend upon the texture of the tweed jacket or possibly even the color.

I meant the color of the jacket, but if you mean by "dress" = BLACK, then the shoes will likely look wrong automatically with tan or other typically tweedy colors, but might look fine with blue tweed instead of brown shoes.
