In our daily life, we generally refer to all of them as suits. In foreign countries, suits are usually divided into Suit Jaet, Blazer, and Sport Coat. Although these three types of coats have many similarities in appearance and technology, they are different in wearing and matching.
So how do we tell the difference?
The Suit Jacket is the most formal of the three.
A Suit Jacket is a jacket that is usually part of a two-piece suit (suit jacket + trousers) or three-piece suit (suit jacket + trousers + trousers) that, together with the other parts, makes up a complete suit.
The material and workmanship of a two-piece Suit and a three-piece suit should be exactly the same. The Suit Jacket is part of a suit.
For important occasions such as business meetings and weddings, the general dress code calls for a Suit Jacket.
At the same time, suits are the most selective fabrics, most of which are made of fine imitation wool, and the colors are conservative solid colors, the most classic colors are Black, Grey and Navy.
The pockets on both sides show only covered bag openings, and the lid of the bag is associated with clothing or specific patterns such as fine plaid, tartan Windows, chalk stripes, pinstripes, etc.
Artistically, the Suit Jacket is finely cut overall, must be lined, and usually requires matching pants of the same color and fabric.
Compared with the other two, the Suit Jacket is also one of the most slim.
A Sport Coat is the most casual type of Coat because the pattern may be strange compared to the Suit Jacket and the material will be different from the pants.
A Sport Coat and Suit Jacket are quite different in many ways. The Suit Jacket is made of smooth and pure material, while the Sport Coat is usually made of more textured material (such as coarse woven wool).
A Suit Jacket usually has no pattern, or a simple, fixed pattern, while a Sport Coat has a variety of patterns (e.g., a plover).
A Sport Coat makes you look “different” to show that you’re not wearing the wrong coat, while emphasizing the essence of athleisure.
There is no limit to color, as long as the thought can be found.
In the process of production, the collar is a sport lapel, smoother than the standing collar.
The pocket is similar to the Suit Jacket, but doesn’t necessarily have double piping, and the classic has a small extra ticket pocket above the right pocket.
As for button, that nature also is to follow TREND to go, style is various.
It should be noted that it is best not to wear Sport Coat with pants of the same or similar color, otherwise it is difficult to present a casual and fashionable feeling.
Although the Sport Coat looks very ‘formal’ today with its emphasis on ‘casual’, it was originally designed, as its name suggests, for rural sports such as hunting.
The Sport Coat came into being in the British countryside, where it was cold and rainy and people needed something that would look gentlemanly and keep them warm.
The barge head of Sport Coat can generally turn up to keep heat;
The fabric is also heavier and focuses on insulation.
Nowadays, the Sport Coat is still very good for many informal occasions (friends’ parties, picnics, etc.).
Blazer originated at a private school or club and now refers to a plain Jacket, usually navy blue. As opposed to a Suit Jacket, a Blazer can be worn more casually, for business casual or less formal occasions.
Blazers are traditionally blazers with a double row of six to eight buttons, often with metal buttons such as brass or gilt, and paired with navy serge for a striking, rich texture.
The material used on the surface of the Suit Jacket does not need to be as high as suit jacket. The collar is more standing collar.
The classic color is pure Navy, paired with metallic buttons.
Buttons were first double-breasted or double-breasted, but now more and more styles become single-breasted, more in line with the trend.
Blazer must meet certain criteria. For example, it can be a solid color (e.g., navy blue), have contrasting piping, or use a striped pattern.
Other than that, no jacket can be called a Blazer.
Another obvious difference from the Suit Jacket is the pocket.
Blazers are usually attached to the surface of the garment and have no cover.
However, trends are always changing and this classic is slowly moving towards a bagged lid.
A Blazer is a type of double-breasted suit, but the key difference between a blazer and other double-breasted suits, and its defining feature, is the blazer collar.
Blazer collar is a lapel, sharp line is very obvious, can modify most face shape.
Badges are also a common element on blazers to show that the wearer belongs to an organization such as a school, club, etc.
Another notable feature of Blazers is their preference for contrasting buttons, such as gold buttons with anchors or pearl oyster buttons.
Blazer is also popular with brands such as Brooks Brothers, and Brooks Brothers.
