[@delanoscott7856]

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.”

[@plinioa.rodriguez2110]

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.

[@lilcwa]

I’m a regular jacket-wearer, both casually and in business situations. I thought this was a very comprehensive and informative video. Well done.

[@scrappymark]

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.

[@matrafa]

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.

[@Durandalite]

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.

[@Stealthfulness]

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.

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.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

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?

[@scrappymark]

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!

[@CoverofWinter]

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

[@JoseEnriqueMarforiIII]

no, I wasnt aware that this was part of the success uniform. I'm here to learn 😃

[@VidIan262009]

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.”

[@prairieschooner2599]

Really appreciated the changing jacket examples throughout the presentation. Well done.

[@FishplateFilms]

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.

I do not need a full suit and tie, nor do I want to wear one, but I do want to wear a jacket to keep a little business in my ensemble, so sports coats are exactly what I'm looking for i think. I've never had a professional dress code job, so I really have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to buying these types of clothes so your videos are a godsend for me! I live in Florida and I'm hot natured, so I'm thinking I might try a light grey linen or maybe a navy for my first jacket as you suggested.

I started wearing a sport coat on a daily basis during Minnesota fall/winter/spring seasons while at my last job working in Marketing for a software design and development company. Already standing out because I was 20-30 years older than the other 500 or so employees, I also wasn’t going to wear black graphic t-shirts. After moves from Minneapolis to Nashville, to Milwaukee, and back to Minneapolis - before moving to San Antonio- I had decided to “weed” my wardrobe. I did so by removing, and donating, any and all clothing items that did not contain only various shades of blue, brown and white. This allowed me to focus on more easily refresh my remaining sport coat collection with coordinating items including pocket squares and lapel pins. This “minimization” of my wardrobe certainly paid off a couple years ago when I became legally blind.

[@samuelwreed6366]

Usually I'll wear a sports jacket to an upscale dinner. However, I tried the T-shirt combo when on vacation and my wife loved it!

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.

[@paulcaswell2813]

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.

I wear them whenever the Texas summer heat doesn't drive me out of them. I wear them in the summer when I know I'm going to be in a/c all day. I do have a couple of linen sports coats, but they're not easy to find these days. Unlined jackets aren't easy to find, either. I think the issue there is that the market for jackets isn't great enough for stores to provide more choices. I haven't found a "performance fabric" coat that I've liked.

I have 2 velvet sport jackets. 1 black and 1 olive green. I bought them 15 years ago for the first time ever in my life and they're the only ones I ever owned. I wear them casually when I'm not working in truck driving. I mix them with blue and black jeans and sometimes khaki's or single dress slacks. I really like them because they look casual at hangouts and some parties. My lady loves the velvet. She says it stands out and she loves the soft feel of the fabric. I would love to learn on buying more sport jackets of other kinds. While attending Catholic High School in NYC, the dean would allow blazers with slacks as an alternative to a suit. Coming home from the military before I drove a truck... I had a security job that had me wear a burgundy blazer that had gold buttons with grey slacks and a white shirt along with a navy blue clip-on tie for safety purposes. I kind of love the Blazer Sports jacket idea. However, I work blue collar and rarely go out and dress nice.

I'm not a business type and I only wear suits to formal occasions. But I admit that a sports jacket can really elevate one's outfit. I mean, even if I wear jeans and t-shirt the jacket makes everything look smarter. I don't do it often but when I do I get compliments. The key is to nail the fit and to look nonchalant while wearing it cause if you're not used to jackets you might feel self-conscious. I think it's better to start with lighter, less structured jackets.
