Item Of The Week: Circle Of Gentlemen Sawyer Pads Blazer

September 12, 2014

Cut for an athletic man who prefers a slim fit, Circle of Gentlemen’s quilted, hybrid blazer strikes the ideal balance of style and comfort. An impeccable layering piece, the contrast collar, printed liner, pocket square, and elbow patches work wherever needed-just add an Oxford shirt, chinos and glossy derbies for the office or go off-duty with vintage denim and slouchy knits.

How To Style It

Quilted blazers are one of the hottest trends this season and one of the most versatile pieces you could own this Fall ’14 which is why we picked this Sawyer Pads Blazer by Circle Of Gentlemen as our item of the week. They work great as a regular sport coat, but also double as the perfect transitional outerwear piece. Below you can see two different executions of how we’d wear this jacket by Circle of Gentlemen. One offers are more traditional formal look, while the second is better suited for more casual/social engagements.

Key Features

  • Having a few choice plaids in your wardrobe isn’t a bad thing. They allow you to infuse your outfit with some great character/colour without going overboard.
  • We know that guys are still having a hard time with this whole print-on-print thing, which is why we purposely chose our tone-on-tone strip pant from Hiltl for this outfit. The dark shade works to anchor the whole outfit while still giving it some depth.
  • Last but not least, try investing in a pair perforated dress shoes. They are a great alternative to the traditional brogues and oxfords of the world while offering the same amount of finesse. And don’t worry, perforated doesn’t mean that the world of guck will come pouring into your shoe.
