this is pretty darn good

its fun to know the names of things i do enjoy lording it over people but only for sport

me too, i wear my sports jacket while i do it, and i also wear a button down collar so my collar doesn't flap about in the excitement

one mustent have their collar flapping around it simply wont do

Odd jacket: A lounge jacket that is not part of a suit. A sports coat is a type of odd jacket, but if the jacket does not have sporting features it is merely an “odd jacket” or a “jacket“.

Sports coat: A lounge jacket with sporting features—such as hacking pockets, bellows pockets, deep vents, a throat latch or pleated and belted backs—in a coarse cloth. Also called a sports jacket, a sport coat or a sport jacket. Americans will use any one of these terms to specify any odd jacket.

the things brits think are sports are funny

the things they think are sport

dont americans call car driving a sport

we all fuck that word up

traveling in a fried-out Crombie

imagine wearing a dinner jacket to dinner LOL!

its not even a jacket its a whole suit!!

My 19 year old USAF issue blue windbreaker still fits and is cool now

yeah i stick by "there are no rules in style" or w/e but omg please don't ever wear a suit with jeans you are right on this at the very least

how is it possible to wear a suit with jeans I'm confused

a suit Jacket, I take it.

read the damn thread its explained and documented, at least look at the picture of ezra klein

i will save you some trouble

"do you see now what a suit with jeans is" --ezra klein

I’m just asking for a little more precision in the nomenclature here

its perfect actually

a picture of ezra klein is worth a thousand words

one thousand takes even

i just got a baracuta G9. i've come to think that (for fairly obvious reasons) the brits really figured out jackets in a way that no other cultures have.

nice! i’ve had mine for literally 10 years now. navy, goes with everything. considering a British racing green one but my god they’re even spendier now (since being acquired by wp lavori) than they were when i got mine

the other harrington jacket i covet is a grenfell

classic coat

yeah it wasn't cheap. i use travel to justify a lot of purchases like this, i'm doing 10 days in japan next month and want to bring one really kickass, versatile jacket. there was a brief sale on some lesser colors that i considered but i was set on black and found a decent price on END.

ooh i hadn't heard of grenfell, those are fantastic

I've heard of Grenfell, sadly.

haha i don’t travel internationally at all, and maybe only once a year outside of california, which is how i justify the expenditure!

lol whatever works to justify it is how i break it down

I ended up donating my G9 (tan). it always felt a bit tryhard, I loved it as an idea but it didn't really fit with anything else. It's strange that I feel better wearing the cozy blue windbreaker that I got for enlisting (literally, of all the crap I dug out of my old GI duffel, THIS is the piece I decide to wear again?!?) than the Baracuta. I could have probably put it up for sale and made some money back but I felt lame for not being able to rock it properly, I guess.

I think I just don't like things that are generally accepted as cool.

whats G9 tan?

actually I'm going to go ahead and use those shots of james bond and kal-el there as my arguments for why even a good looking dude like me can't always pull off a classic

Those look like members only jackets

oh shit you went there

lol how is that a bad thing

here is an excellent rundown on baracuta jackets being worn by extremely famous people

https://www.masonandsons.com/blogs/intelligence/99483014-baracuta-g9-the-history-of-the-harrington

Ya not a bad thing

The captions in that link are hilarious btw

don’t be jealous cause you’re not a member of the club

the baracutas do look nice, but yeah, so expensive. i got a pretty good nylon harrington jacket from jcrew factory a couple of years ago for like 1/4 as much.
