I currently have four navy blazers and thinking of possibly number five. Each one having a unique characteristic (detail or fabric) which lends itself to either occasion or season or both.
As you mention - a high twist navy sports coat is the #1 base choices for travel, wrinkle resistance, wear resilience and breath-ability. You can layer under it and wear it in the colder months. Beyond this - I have a Nailhead navy suit that I can wear the jacket as a separate navy sport coat in colder weather. Then I have a softer darker blue/blue check sports coat for year round.
My "blazer" is a navy corduroy jacket which I wear with charcoal flannels or chinos (and a dress shirt and tie). I have two of them; one with elbow patches, the other without. For casual wear, I have a navy "chore" blazer - all cotton, unstructured/unlined . It's worn with a casual long sleeve shirt and a knit tie.
Congratulations indeed on your 10th anniversary I hope someday to have the wonderful pleasure of visiting the Armoury in Hong Kong, I may have the opportunity to travel there in July of this year...as far as ideas for a navy blazer, what comes to mind is a 3 roll 2 with patch pockets in hopsack fabric, thanks for sharing!
I have three, all different styles, purchased over 15 years - one lightly canvassed with patch pockets in a WSL blend; one quite structured and one-buttoned in fresco; and a straight-down-the-middle workhorse. I love all three, but any one of them alone would be fine.
I do think that having 2 navy blazers makes sense. I personally have two as well: one is a more formal, traditional, and structured jacket while the other one is completely unstructured and unlined meant for more casual outfits. I live in a tropical country, so it makes a lot of sense to me to have a really lightweight navy jacket to wear with my polos and casual shirts.
@@scnupe7 if you haven't already, please do. One of my favorite pieces is a dark blue/navy striped seersucker blazer/sports coat (it's technically not a "real" blazer, but the subtle stripes and contrasting buttons give it quite a bit of that "regatta" flair).
Another great vid! I would say both jackets are amazing and to my untrained eyes, slightly more tailored (or nipped in the waist) than other pieces I had seen you normally wear. I would say your usual jacket is darker (at least on the vid) and also linen wrinkles more easily (you can see you arms already wrinkled) signals more of a day jacket. One suggestion, you should include a link of the jacket(s) and any items you are wearing to your online store so easier to for us to find than searching it on the store.
Blazers? I found myself to have 2, one formal - which does not go with jeans, chinos etc. but perfect with flanel. And one casual sort of linnen, which goes perfect with jeans 😊 Do I need a third one? Probably not.
i love the WHAT'S ON videos and the styling videos but I'm curious why socks are not introduced. It seems the outfits are complete from pocket square to shoes but socks are ignored. Doesn't the Armoury sell socks?
Great video! Btw the shirt looks amazing too, can we get that from armoury? For the collar it looks slightly different from one piece collar, or is it really a one piece collar shirt?

I just looked up the 103 sport coat on The Armoury website. It's THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Happy father's day..much blessings 2 all dads
I love what you’re doing. Like to watch you
lol, 2:00 - guy in the background seems VERY interested in the blazer
Oh Man 😂
True

Do you usually wear a tie with the unstructured blazer? I live in a tropical country as well.
@@simongaywanjala598 Oh it really depends on the context and the occasion, but I sometimes do. But I usually only wear knitted tie with it
I wear a solid color knit tie with my casual shirts and an unstructured navy jacket. I live in Chicago.
Yes!
I will now watch the video
I’ve been thinking about commissioning a navy seersucker jacket.
My 2nd navy jacket was a cotton seersucker. I'm currently debating a double breasted, but it'll just look over the top amongst my peers.

@@KomradeKrusher Thanks! I did!

Looking good, I like the more casual look myself.

I think those may both be navy sports coats since blazers have contrasting buttons- gold, white, etc. Black buttons may not be contrasting enough.
Great video!
Btw the shirt looks amazing too, can we get that from armoury? For the collar it looks slightly different from one piece collar, or is it really a one piece collar shirt?
Does he ever respond to question in the RUclips comments?
@@milesfisher1he does.
Hi Mark, I am of a similar built - what size do you take in the 103 and how tall are you?
Nice blazer but I need one with flap pockets
Saying you’ll never feel overdressed in a navy blazer is crazy
missed you
I think I have 4 at this point
Okay
Having both single breasted and double breasted makes sense. Argument can be made for a third in linen if you live in a hot climate.
If you dont wear suits or a jacket for work you dont really need more than one jacket.
