Navy Blazer? Never heard of it😏

For those new to the community last fall on a challenge I wore a Navy blazer 70 straight days. It is the most basic item a man can have in his wardrobe. 20 years ago everybody knew that. Today I’m not so sure. One step down from a suit it can be worn with a deep grey trouser and a bow tie and be just two steps back from a tux in many cases or paired with a polo shirt and jeans. Its versatility and history is unmatched. The attached pic by JPress is as Classic American as it gets: 3/2 brass button, sack fit, hooked welted single vent, doeskin (also known as a Garnett flannel or summer flannel), with flapped patch side pockets. They paired it rightly with a longer collared blue Oxford button down with a tie (button downs have been worn with ties for a very long time my brothers, in spite of recent fashion trends that suggests they are “only” worn without a tie). They accessorized it with a classic three stripe tie (also known as a two bar tie-look at it and it will make sense). The only difference between this look and what I sold maybe hundreds of times is that I would have chosen a different color tie (not a fan of navy on navy 🥱) not only boring but shades can vary. But it’s not “wrong”. Anyway. JPress is one of the last clothiers to cling on to these Classic timeless elements. But then again. Who would ever wear a navy blazer🙄😜
