does this work good a separate blazer, or does it look like an orphaned suit jacket?
Trying to figure out if there’s a point in getting a more casual navy blazer (patch pockets, gold buttons, swelled edges)
Not sure if this jacket I have really works as a blazer or not

could possibly work if you swapped out the buttons
what's the fabric look like close up
never separate a suit
also your pants ought to get taken up a little
This is what the fabric looks like up close
Yeah I bought it initially thinking it was a sport coat, but when I saw it irl I did some research and now I’m pretty sure it’s a separate 😟
Frankly, while it poses additional challenges, I'm of the opinion nearly any 'orphaned' suit jacket can be made to work reasonably easily, it just has to be done with some intentionality. Navy suit-separate jacket with grey flannel trousers is one of the most common and classic looks around, and it's not because it doesn't work.
On a separate note, those trousers aren't puddling, they're practically forming a lake
You’re right. Lol it’s funny this is after I brought it to a tailor, I think they cut it way too long. I will bring it back to them
