Foo - Which sport coat do you like better?

For school, we have to wear blazers for 2nd and 3rd quarters, usually black blazers, but as a senior, I get to wear any kind of non flashy sport coat. Wondering what yall think looks better. Thanks.

Option 1: http://a60.g.akamai.net/f/60/7267/1d/sheplers.download.akamai.com/7267/i/rotate/072/072937r33_000.jpg

What is with this fervid opposition to western-ware?

I went with option 1, but mainly because option 2 has a poor pose.

It stopped looking good about 100 years ago.

Go to a nice menswear store and look at a nice two button charcoal or black herringbone sport coat. I also like muted window panes. Either is classic and you can dress it up or down as the situation demands.

It is not fervid hatred, it is just that I feel your choices are very limiting.
How about a classic sport coat with a western shirt, string tie, boots and jeans?
Still get a western look but can be paired with slacks and worn to other occasions. just saying.

Says Mr. Seattle where the idea of "sport coat" is a water-proof trenchcoat, I could understandably comprehend what you mean, but this is Texas, and we do things a but differently hur in the south. ;)

Can I vote for neither? Cuz they're both fugly.

Lest you forget I just moved here from Florida....just as South as Texas.

LoL.

OK, but you can't leave Texas with that jacket:rolleyes:

I suppos No. 2 - it's definitely different up north here though.

With all that humidity, I would fear for the life of that precious suede:D

Would you rather I leave wearing my suede fringed jacket I have downstairs? :roflmao:

No doubt....so we wouldn't wear that fugly stuff. ;)

When you come to Texas, Jsharr, Cuda, and myself will all go to downtown Fort Worth with you, then we'll see what you think:D

Oh man, those are horrible! What school is this? :D

However, I'd gladly wear that purple vest with a proper black suit.

No doubt....so we wouldn't wear that fugly stuff. ;)

:D

<ahem> I have several leathers and suede with lots-o fringies :D Course they're all retired now - replaced by lycra and jerseys ...

Nothing wrong with suede itself.....but fringes.......ugh! Thank God you retired them.

My main "light jacket" is still a dark brown suede one, but not that whole Western patchwork quilt kinda look.

I think you are not only confused about your wardrobe, but your sexuality too.




Which do you think looks better?
I am a male: Option 1
I am a male: Option 2
I am a female: Option 1
I am a female: Option 2
I can't decide!

How about I see some images of your idea of an applicable style of a sport coat? (For everyone here)

Just because everyone wears it does not make it look good, and would never convince me to even let that coat near my closet.

My style

If you have to go western here is an option that is more acceptable

Yikes, this is quite comical to see so much opposition, hehe. Jsharr, where is that western kind of coat from company wise?

do yourself a favor
after senior year run away, far far away from texas

Disgusting.

Mmmmm..... Cowboys......

Calm yourself Zoltani. Cultural relativism at it's finest I presume..

Infact, the more opposition I read, the more I am motivated to buy it. Of course, If I was at a job interview, you wouldn't catch me eating fast food with that (or any) western blazer on. This is my senior year of school, and I say why not. A applaud disreguarding social norms..even if it may be outdated.
Woof.

EJ, here is an actual pic of jsharr in khaki trousers and a window pane plaid two button sport coat and a silk t shirt.

Hm, interesting style. Though, on me, haha probably not. I only have around $100 to spend, if that.

Neither.. Nice photo Jsharr!

If your looking to make a "statement"

Give Mens Wearhouse a try EJ. Put on the style of pants, shirt, shoes you intend to wear to school on a regular basis and just stop by and try a few on. At the very least, you will see what your non western wear options are and you will begin to develop a style.

I am not that opposed to the western lapel, but would try to stay solid color versus contrasting color.

If you don't mind me asking, why do you want the western style?

thanks skinnyone!

for real jsharr, i think he means he is a senior in high school, not that he is headed to the senior center.

Go with a basic sport coat....Men's warehouse may have something in the $100 range, and it will be far more useful than the "westen wear" threads in the OP.

Well I have been wearing the traditonal black blazer for 3 years, and it's too redundant. My school is somewhat big with the Texas spirit type aspect, and I want something less common, unique, and mildy different. I think the western style has distintive and artistic characteristics, unlike common ones.

good lord! jsharr, if i saw you on the street in that picture, i would totally mistake you for Tom Hanks.
