What on earth are you referring to?

Do I need to refer to something when clearly, I'm asking?

and clearly, that is a typical black jacket and white shirt. What is wrong with you?

Well, since there are sport coats, suit jacket, blazer, etc -- I just wonder whether this too fall into specific category.

And is it your time of month again? My bad for stepping on your pad.

If you are sure it wasn't part of a suit, you can call it an odd jacket or sportcoat. I use blazer for those with contrasting buttons.

And even on my pathetic monitor, I can see vague signs of the buttons on the jacket. You can even find this jacket in maybe tesco? Get your eyes checked.

Geez, not all people had that kind of relationship with clothes ya know.

Great eyes there. I guess it had something to do with raging monthly hormones eh.

It's a stock standard black suit, the sort you'd wear if you worked as a sales consultant in a KLCC shop or if you were attending a funeral.

It looks good anyway for a one evening event.

Since that girl suggested Tesco (if that's real, it is), maybe I'll go and look over there.

+ ah, forgot my thanks.

The thing about the suit is that it is such an old and historied piece of clothing. Over the centuries, the suit has become more than just a garment; there is a lot of custom regulating it's proper wear. If you show up in an event in a black suit everyone who knows about the custom will know you are clueless about it.

And jesus christ, Tesco is no place to shop for clothes.

Nah, I'm attending company dinner where, I'm dead sure, 95% of them are clueless anyway (except for the ceo & vp's).

Just don't wanna looks sloppy/too under-dressed.

Get yourself dark blue. The color is called "navy".

Added on December 10, 2009, 11:49 pmGuys I just came back from an evening of wearing suit #2 (just the jacket). I never would have suspected that a jacket can be this light, drape this well, and wear this cool. 100% kid mohair in 8 oz. is a fabulous fabric for our climate.

looks like a black suit to me, the buttons would have been black in color as well, so you probably couldn't see it there.. if there were no buttons, it would still be considered a suit jacket, an odd one..

a sport coat would typically be worn on its own, and is usually of heavier material such as tweed..



a blazer is has a more casual feel, commonly in navy color, and traditionally in brass buttons..

Wow, thanks.

I know you'd scream blasphemy, but, will I be able to get it sub RM200? Which popular place in KL/Sel area I can get this around that price?

And after another 90 pages or so I'm sure this question will pop up again by another indiscriminate fellow with bad eyesight. Perhaps tesco is really the place for you. The price tags are huge.

RM200 for a suit jacket, hardly.. unless there's 70% discount in stores like padini, seed, g2000.. or you probably could get one at that price in FOS or brands outlet..

Since I'm not opening a new thread asking the same question inside this very thread, I can't see why it bother you much. Oh, the period. I'm sorry.


Got myself one black sport coat--

Does throwing in white dress shirt, black khakis sounds elegant (event's theme)?

White khakis would turn a catastrophe into merely a small disaster.

Ouch, I guess I deserve that after all. The color suggested by kotmj just didn't come across my mind when buying last night.

I'll make do with light colored khakis.

Update:

Just got back from MysteryBespokeTailor. New odd pants made with cotton/poly mix herringbone. Details: 1.5" cuffs, 2.5" extended double hook, flat-front, side button tabs, slanted pockets, yadda yadda.
