What is the difference between a blazer and a sport coat?
A blazer is usually a solid color, often navy, and it is the dressier of the two. A sport coat comes in patterns and textures such as plaid, houndstooth and windowpane. Our solid navy textured wool jacket and the black technical weave blazer lean blazer, while the blue plaid, brown plaid and blue houndstooth wool coats are sport coats.
Both are worn with contrasting trousers, so pair them with our flat front and pleated dress pants and a dress shirt sized by neck and sleeve.

How do I size a sport coat?
Numbered sizes work like suits: 40R is a 40-inch chest in Regular length, with Short for men under 5'8" and Long for men over 6'. Some jackets use letter sizes from S to 4XL instead, so check the size list on each product. Between two chest sizes, take the larger one, since sleeves are easy to alter and the chest is not.
