I have a hypothesis regarding the blanket usage of the word blazer. I think that sport jacket/coat are commonly understood as casual jackets. Essentially denoting an active lifestyle type of garment. On the other hand a blazer will denote a type of structured garment similar in style to a suit jacket. It's utility to convey an idea (even as a misnomer) is helpful. If I wanted to thoroughly search for a suit jacket style of garment I would use Suit jacket/separates, sport coat/jacket and blazer. I think this is particularly useful for finding second hand garments.

In old French, and archaic English, the word “Blazon” meant “crest”. Thus the Blazer, traditionally meant any jacket with a crest on it. And then the popularity of the blazer springing from academia, brought it into the mass market.

Too many rules. As a blue collar truck driver in the US it's pretty simple. Wear a goodwill suit jacket with jcpenny black slacks and a jcpenny shirt European cut slim fit. Affordable Italian Spezzato style and your better dressed than 98% of the men around you. I do it occasionally and the difference between wearing T shirt and jeans is amazing. The women notice and start conversations and the service I get in establishments is stellar.

This is the best video I have seen on this topic. Sports jackets are frequently more expensive to buy than full suits, despite being 'casual' or informal. Is there another term we could use then, as 'casual' is normally equated with inexpensive? Suits are for the city and therefore an indoor environment (the office). They therefore require a coat to cover outdoors. Sports jackets on the other hand are for the countryside and therefore contain elements of both, as they are required to offer protection from the elements. That's why they are three buttoned, slightly raised, worn with longer sleeves to cover the shirt sleeve completely. You can also wear more hardwearing trousers with a sports. That covers men. Unfortunately, women's business attire is all over the place, which suggests that gender should just stay at home or occupy themselves in traditional female roles such as nursing, childrearing or teaching.

Of course, to further confuse the issue, are uses of terms like “sports jacket” and “suit coat.” I think it would be good to standardize terms for garments based on clear reference points from physiology. Like coat vs. jacket is really based on where the bottom hem falls in relation to the waist, correct? Jackets fall just to the waist and coats fall (any of various amounts, depending on particular style) below the waist.
@seikibrian8641
4 жыл бұрын
It's not that simple. For example, waistcoats stop at the waist and military field jackets fall below the waist. And the top-most garment in a suit has typically been called a jacket, not a coat.
@GrangerGangster
4 жыл бұрын
SeikiBrian they do now, but waistcoats in centuries past used to go well below the waist with large pocketed skirts. When you talk about “field jackets” I’m not sure where the term was first coined, but for the U.S. Army, the M1938 and later M1941 field jackets were only waist-length. So, the later evolution of field jackets in the U.S. parlance only seems to suggest that the term “field jacket” was kept in use despite how the garments changed (falling below the waist as you suggest). I would be interested in that term’s use with other countries to see how it matches with hem lengths. And perhaps the top part of a suit is now usually called a jacket, but when the suit we know today came about (more or less the 1860s - yes, I mean the decade of the Civil War, not the Civil Rights movement) the terms for the top piece in the ensemble were “lounge coat” in British English and “sack coat” in American English. Yikes! That’s confusing for sure haha. Also, there is a phrase that I think might still be in common use, “coat and tie,” that to me suggests that it was still being called a coat into more recent times. My entire point of the first comment was (hopefully) to recognize that there IS confusion but to espouse standardization. Maybe it’s all a pipe dream!
