Boating Blazer

Any other fans out there of the 3 or 4 button striped boating blazer for summer wear? I have a light blue and dark blue made by Tommy Nutter in late 60's early 70's

heres somewhere else i discovered selling them

i'm not too sure though

theyre " in the thailand " as well as they say on their contact page .

if they make clothes over there as badly as they restore scooters they would be best avoided

We´ve had modshopping in another discussion and it seems one should better avoid it.

heres a nice seersucker jacket from asos for a mere 70 quid !

i would wear one of them !

a bit more subtle than a boating blazer

they even do one in a  herringbone tweed for the same money

i think something like that worn casually is better for the slightly more maturing mod IMO

i understand what youre saying jb and perhaps theyre not "in yer face mod " but after trying on a similar jacket to that herringbone one in next i found myself with a "need for tweed "

the next jacket was just a fashionable jacket for the masses in two buttons with long lapels  but i liked the materiel it was made from and went looking for something more three buttoned and with shorter lapels

and i think i found it in that asos one

Thinking about getting this as my first move from 'typical Fred Perry/ nice shirt and v neck jumper, parka, jeans wearing' basic Mod:

This is a nice jacket, I know it's 2 button , but that's the 'in look' at the moment, 2 button is making a big comeback and it's well known a 2 button suits anybody over 42" chest much better than a 3 button , that just brings your attention to your upper body and gives the appearance of being shorter, wear it with jeans or trousers above your shoes and you look ' verticaly challenged' so come on guys give the 2 button some room,

Anyway 85 sov's not bad for a well cut bit of schmutter and this weekend I believe 30% off.

No mate totally understand, I have always gone for 3 and sometimes 4 button but recently I have boought a few 2 button and as I usually wear either a waistcoat or slipover it looks better to me, pehaps 'in look' ' was the wrong words mate, I am so far away from following what other people wear.

But for me I would not buy a boating blazer it may well suit others but having tried one on I looked  like a walking deck chair.
