Blazers and suit coats aside, I was watching my new favorite show on HBO called "Industry" the other day and one of the old timers ripped the pocket off of the intern's dress shirt and told him "try not to look like you're here to change the lightbulbs".

Thought that was great.

I recall mine as being much classier than a leisure suit.

Wore it to a wedding, one time, complete with bolo tie, proper belt with a nice dress buckle, and, naturally, my "roach-killer" boots Smile (IIRC I skipped the hat, though Wink.) Got a lot of complements.


Yes, that sounds like mine. It certainly wasn't dark indigo. I do remember contrasting, or at least lighter colored stitching - maybe cream colored stitching on the denim. My mom has a picture of me in it somewhere, but I haven't seen it in years.

You should see the beautiful brown suede leather jacket I had as a kid. Full fringe along it.


So is this a blazer cut?
