Blazers and Sport Coats
Question answered: “Can I get a custom blazer made in Bangkok?”
By Tony Ram, Second-generation owner, Peninsula Bespoke Tailor · Updated
A custom blazer or sport coat is one of the most useful pieces to have made in Bangkok. A navy blazer goes with grey trousers, chinos and jeans. Sport coats in textured wool, linen or patterns add variety. You choose the fabric, buttons, pockets and fit, and it's cut to your measurements.
Blazer or sport coat: what's the difference?
| Type | Typical fabric | Wear with |
|---|---|---|
| Blazer | Solid navy wool, often metal buttons | Grey trousers, chinos |
| Sport coat | Tweed, linen, checks, textures | Chinos, flannels, jeans |
What details can I choose?
- Patch or flap pockets
- Horn, metal or corozo buttons
- Unlined or half-lined for heat
- Soft or structured shoulders
Can I wear suit trousers with a blazer?
Not usually. Suit trousers look like they're missing their jacket. Contrasting trousers look more intentional.
