sports coat vs suit jacket?
Found a very cheap jacket a the thrift. It’s a microfiber, kinda similar in feel to camel hair. From what I can tell from the tags, it wasn’t ever part of a suit. But now I’m wondering if it reads too much like an orphaned jacket
Pics attached, tried to get as clear a shot of the texture as possible

probably was, i imagine a sport coat in this style would almost always have brass/dark brown horn buttons. since there's a bit of texture and the shoulders aren't extremely structured, it could work as a separate
3 buttons is a little 90s though, mr. wayne
Thank you! Two questions: do you think it’d be worth getting some brass buttons and sewing them on? Also can you make me a Batman suit?
ehh, unless you're really sold on 3 button suits for some reason, i would look on ebay or continue thrifting until you find something in a more modern style

Oh I’ve got loads of 2 buttons. A big reason I bought it is for the 3 button!
How does it look on? That’s the key right
Sorry about the state of the mirror. It’s on tonight’s chore list
Looks pretty nice, I like the texture, could swap for a darker tortoiseshell button maybe?
Just to give a little more sportcoat vibe
I think I will do that, or maybe a nice wrapped leather button.
Brown can work as a blazer. I wouldn't do brass. I'd do... hmm. Unsure actually. Black horn seems safe. I think it'll be fine.
Do you think a wrapped leather button might work? Something like this in dark brown or black?
I think these would be really cool if the tone didn’t clash and the jacket itself looks awesome
I personally prefer leather wrap on tweed. Can it work here? Probably.
