Velvet Collar sportjacket

 For this coming fall season why not add some spice to your wardrobe with a velvet half collar sport jacket.  Similar in concept to our Crombie overcoat, this is a great way to add some visual interest to a sport jacket, can be done with any cloth and there are a few color options for the velvet (black, brown, navy, burgundy)

Jacket shown is a 1 button notch lapel with Mother of Pearl buttons, angled jacket pockets with house design overlapping ticket pocket.  Burgundy half collar

Fabric is the grey windowcheck originally posted here in 2010 (also available in a navy and brown colorway)

Full size photos of suit being worn coming mid-August.

Similar to the other 1 button suit, this is also single button, with patch pockets but no flap, and the breast pocket is patched as well. All topstitched around lapels (2.75" wide) and pockets.  MOP buttons as well.  This jacket also features an undarted construction for a cleaner front quarter appearance. Please disregard what looks like a discoloration on the cloth, it means my camera lens needs cleaning!

Soon to come, live shots of suit being worn.  Please excuse what looks like spots/discoloration on the cloth, they are not actually there!!!

This is a 1-button suit, with topstitched lapels and a flap patch pocket.  Single button on cuff.  Lapels are 2.5" wide and you might notice the jacket is undarted in a classic ivy league style for a cleaner frontal appearance.

One button half lined Jacket

See post below for inside shot of the half lining.

This jacket is a one button notch lapel in the "Petrol Blue", tho it has photo'd more grey but the fabric is definitely a blue tone. The jacket also has swelled seams at the lapels (an homage to vintage styled jacket lapels) and has Mother of Pearl buttons, which are now available at a slight surcharge. Normally the notch lapel One Button jacket has horizontal pockets, but this one has the angled hacking pockets, with the house detail overlapping ticket pocket.
