Do I wear sports jackets as an elementary school teacher? - Hell yeah, I do rock the sports jacket at least once a week and it even goes together with manbun and beard. The kids love the look!!!
Sports jackets have become an essential part of my wardrobe in the past few years. Because of church I’ve always worn suits, something I learned from my father. When I started wearing sports jackets the versatility they gave me, being able to not wear a full suit but still be dressed up, was a godsend. Now in the past two months I’ve helped my father find sports jackets and complementary pants. As is said, “the student has become the teacher.”
I love sports jackets! I'm 23 and I started wearing them around 1 year ago after watching some of your videos (and Aaron's videos too). Sports Jackets really make a difference when it comes to stand out from the crowd.
Started liking to dress up around 27. Really enjoying sports jackets since I was around 30. Up to 4 suits now and 5 sport coats. To keep things easier I try to pick items that work with the color blue. 4 of my 5 sport coats are navy with varying patterns to keep them more versatile. Suits are navy, charcoal, light blue/grey and burgundy/brown- all solid besides the burgundy which is a barely visible windowpane. Now that I have a good versatile foundation, I enjoy playing around with the shirt/tie combos.
Could you make a guide on how to find a blazer/sports coat that fits in the shoulder from somewhere like eBay. What you need to know, measurements that are relevant without going all out. Like if I just see a blazer that I like and its a standard size, say 42 regular is your size and the jacket is listed as that size, what question should I be asking the seller to know if it fits in the shoulder?
Most sellers on eBay list the shoulder, chest, and sleeve length measurements. Measure a jacket that you own that fits perfect and look for a jacket that matches those measurements. I love buying (and selling) sports jackets on eBay!
I would also make sure that the brand you are buying is known for being true to size or premium, which would make it far more likely to be true to size. Sellers also will often provide more details if you ask for them like fabric or waist size
My first jacket was an old mid gray herringbone tweed sports jacket that I love to death. It's so versatile that I can pretty much find a way to wear it in every season aside from super hot days.
I love the black & white herringbone tweed, it goes with anything! Tweed is the best sports coat material and it comes in so many different patterns/textures.
I’m 15, I was in a clothes store, Ted Baker, and I got offered a job because I was, as he said, “very mature, and a well dressed man.” I was wearing a sports jacket and jeans with oxfords and a dress shirt. The jacket makes such a difference.
I love sports jackets! I have a full wardrobe full of sports jackets and suits, but I find myself wearing a sports jacket 4 out of 5 days a week. I like the more casual nature of them and they are just more fun than a suit.
Great video! I always try to wear a jacket,weather permitting here in the deep South. My reason,my father for one. I feel more finished,it elevates me from the rest of the crowd and I like having more pockets. If possible I default to a blazer unless in a very casual event. Thanks again on a great video and site!
Thanks for posting this today Antonio! I have an appointment this coming Friday to get my first mortgage. I haven't thought much about an outfit yet, but now I think I'll wear my sports jacket with chinos and my Chelsea boots.
Excellent video and perfect timing Antonio Sir! Guess you pulled it out of the ether, I have been looking at Tweed sports jackets to add to my fall/winter collection for a few days while checking your earlier related videos on this topic and you came up with this one, amazing!
I’m 14, 6’4, and pretty muscular for my age and I’m going to get a sports coat for a gift, this will be so useful to find the right one for me, thank you
I’ve been wearing sports jackets now for about 10 years and people comment positively on my dress-sense. People also seem to have an elevated respect for me and the look reinforces my personality and people’s perception of of.
I wear odd jackets a lot. A full suit gets the usual questions: are going to a theater? (even after years of wearing them and not going to the theater that often). An odd jacket + tie combo is still way overdressing, but something that is tolerated more.
No, it ain't overdressing. You say tolerated more, tolerated by whom? When you stand out of the crowd with your suit you need to be confident wearing it. The only person tolerating should be yourself.
@@mihanovak2228 This is fine, and the communities in these channels give me strength to prevail. But even though they know me to dress like this since they know me at my workplace, I still get the question. And sometimes standing out is standing apart. I was mistaken for an administrative person many times at scientific conferences.
Great video, very comprehensive with a lot of great tips. One quibble: single vent is perfectly appropriate for sports jackets, much more so than for suits. It's not just that it's cheap; the design was to support horseback riding and looks great for sports jackets especially in natural colors. It's another good way to differentiate the jacket from an odd suit jacket if you're like me and don't like patch pockets.
Mr.antonio.I'm 24 years old collge student.i have 3 sports jacket now.all of them are vintage.i always trying to find excuse to wear it bcause it made mee feel amazing.
i do not like wearing sports jackets and jackets in general because of the philippine humid heat even if that jacket is for tropical weather cotton, linen still do not like it, i like to wear less, a vest is okay though i've been thinking about wearing a vest that's made out of cotton
I began wearing sports jackets in high school. Things were a bit different back in the 1970s. As s high school student in those times wearing sports jackets set me apart from my friends. The teachers treated me differently. They acted as though I was on their level a little more than my contemporaries. I liked the feeling. There was another positive aspect to wearing a sports jacket; I always had a place to put the things I needed to have with me. Pens, wallet, reminder notes, etc. The pockets in my father's jackets became essential. As a result, my occasional style habit became a daily habit. Another plus was that I didn't get pulled over by the police, at all. I suppose they thought I was an adult. I kept this up through my brief time in college, then joined the military. The first time I saw my friend after entering the USAF, I wore my uniform. I went to a party being thrown by a member of the rock band that I played in and sang for. When I arrived on my motorcycle everyone was a wee bit surprised by my appearance. I'd had rock star hair, a lot like Robert Plant, blonde and a bit curly. Now, I had a crew cut and wore an Airman's uniform. The funniest thing was that I jammed with them and I sounded the same, I just looked differently. Nevertheless, wearing sports jackets has been a constant for me since my high school days.
Thanks Antonio! The best thing is to buy a jacket that fits the best , then take it to your tailor to have it properly fitted. I have 8 sports jackets and all have been tailored to fit me perfectly...makes a HUGE difference , even to a jacket that fits well at the start. Things that I have found that make a big difference..._ sleeve length. - -sleeve tapered to wrist. Always enjoy your videos sir. -jacket length and waist fit. Cheers, Gregg.
As you introduce patterns or increase the size of the pattern, the cool- to-clown-gauge will begin moving to the right pretty quickly. Movement-speed will increase exponentially with age 🙂. Great video with a a lot of useful tips - thanks!
I love sport coats and have almost a dozen! I have them for all the reasons given here. They just elevate a nan’s whole look without being as formal as a suit. I wear them with jeans and slacks, usually with loafers, casual-ish dress shoes (like brogues), or Chelsea boots. I don’t usually wear them with oxfords or other more formal dress shoes. I almost always have a pocket square and on a more formal occasion will wear a tie. (At this point you might think that I would just wear a suit, but in my opinion there can be some events where a sportcoat, slacks, and tie would be appropriate but a suit would be too formal.) My sport coats include a blue blazer with gold buttons, another blue blazer with gold buttons that fits slightly less well than the first, a brown and blue tweed, another brown and blue but with a different pattern and made of some other fabric, a blue and white seersucker, a black wool, A brownish tan linen for summer, a gray herringbone, a blue and red regatta blazer, and a Brown wool with a nice sheen on it (this happens to be my favorite of all the ones I own). Again, I love sportcoats and consider them a part of my personal “daily uniform.”
My manager was promoted to director and i had noticed a couple of things different about him. he bought a casual blazer (UK language) and a office safe cologne and the the first thing said to him that day youre looking smart and you smell amazing. i agree with this with this casual jacket and a good fragrance are two amazing things that put you above other people. great videos and im loving your channel, great inspiration :)
I enjoyed the informative video. I have a question. I'm curious about the length of the jacket you wore. I bought a sports jacket this time and it was 76.5cm long. I am about 174.5cm tall, so please let me know if the figures are appropriate. Thank you.

Thank you for all your videos. Came across your channel looking to upgrade my wardrobe. Just ordered 3 made to measure sport coats yesterday - navy, medium grey, and brown to add to my stable of outfits. Working on some vests now too.
Recently I have become interested in wearing blazers / sports jackets. I have worn suits for years (and I love to do so), but I want to add some flexibility & new options to my wardrobe. I think a sports jacket is the perfect piece to accomplish that. As I’m relatively new to sports jackets, I set out to do some research and found your videos. The content is great and really helped educate me on what to look for in a sports jacket. Thank you very much.
Can't go wrong with a decent sports jacket: I've been wearing them most of my life. Currently my 'No1' jacket is a Gurteen Yorkshire Tweed dark green herringbone with subtle red/blue overchecking (the classic English country jacket in fact). Bought from an outfitter some miles away, but it is a perfect fit (it may as well be bespoke). Being tweed, I probably wouldn't be wearing it at this time of year, but in Britain it's a pretty awful summer so I'm still wearing it! To my mind, the sports jacket is an essential to anyone's wardrobe.
Honestly, I came here to see what combos I could wear to look nice. Found that there are a bunch of men out there needing help. Lol, serious mental help. The fact you wear something to make your hands look bigger is hilarious.
I wear sports jackets. I prefer them over suits simply because you can dress them up, wear them casually, and they’re interchangeable. They’re versatile.
Longer if taller, shorter if short. Wrong! Regardless of your height, the bottom of the jacket’s skirt should come to the first knuckle of your hand or the cup of your fingers (they are almost always the same). The newer trend of jackets that are too tight and too short in the sleeve length and skirt length is adolescent!
I love wearing a sports jacket. I actually look forward to opportunities to put one on. I actually like putting one on if I'm out to dinner with the woman I love. To me it's a compliment to your lady if you make the effort to look your best when you're with her. Make every occasion special. Celebrate life. And I'm like you, I would like to see it become much more commonplace. Then we would probably have more selection, etc. Let's step up our game gentlemen !
The dilemma is what to do with all my great suits. Covid has killed the suit in my industry of Commercial Real Estate. No one wears suit’s anymore. When I started in the 80’s it was dark suits, white or blue shirts, tie and suspenders. Different world now. On my sport coat journey now.
I do wear sports jackets.The last one I had made was a peach and aqua check,worsted wool,peak lapels,double vent,rope shoulder,single button,will do the same with a multi colored check,both lined
Thank you. Now I realize I don't need a sports jacket, I need several to get a rotation and to adapt to the season. Much like rotating my sweaters. It's a lot easier to think about it this way, although it might take some time to build the wardrobe.
Hello, it’s my first time going to wear any suit. Can somebody help me what type and color of shoes should I wear when wearing a navy blue sports jacket if matching with jeans?
Where do you find a jacket with high arm holes? Most are way too low and the jacket is just a straight jacket, unwearable. Most dress shirts are the same way. Most dress clothes off the rack just don't fit. Should you be able to sit at a desk and work without the jacket bunching up? I see even expensive jackets by people who must have bespoke jackets whose jackets don't fit. When they raise their arm the hole side of the jackets comes up.
I do like wearing suits and sport coats however it's too damn hot in Florida and we get maybe 2 weeks of cool weather. From what I've seen most stylers on RU-vid shy away from cargo shorts, so do you have suggestions for this environment.
I just started getting sports jackets. I have to a nice buff I had my seamstress change the buttons on and a nice tweed of white and black spotted material.I'm in Florida so I need to get a linen jacket or two or three.
I wear them often with t-shirts, which does subject them to a little more wear since the collar is now rubbing against bare skin instead of a collared shirt. But it is a great and easy way to dress up what otherwise would be a pretty casual t-shirt + jeans/chinos outfit. Also great for virtual meetings where I'm just lounging around at home.
Started my avionics software job and everyone was wearing jeans and polos. I got some chinos and a sport coat and got made fun of. I don't care I still like it.
Wearing a sports jacket is something i Love, BUT i rarely wear one since i have such an active Lifestyle. It's just not suitable to wear a jacket when you are having dance-class of theatre class. Hoping that i can make it fit into My daily life sometime soon..
I dont wear a sports jacket as of yet since I never had one. I do want to wear one during the winter instead of wearing hoodies. I will most likely not wear one during the summer though since it gets too hot and in order to not draw suspision from law enforcements
