'A short, double-breasted jacket called the reefer jacket was worn by sailors in harsh weather in the 1800’s, when they performed duties such as reefing the sails. The modern dark—single, as well as, double-breasted-- blazer with metallic buttons is said to have evolved from this.
Many fail to tell the difference between a blazer and a sport-jacket and put themselves in a precarious position of committing a fashion faux-pas. A sport jacket is textured and oftentimes patterned, whereas a blazer comes in solid colors-usually navy or black. A blazer is crafted from a smooth fabric and traditionally sports naval-style brass buttons. Also, a blazer does not come with a matching pair of pants.  Perhaps the most preeminent and versatile aspect regarding a blazer is the fact that they can be worn over a shirt and tie or thrown over a polo shirt. It can be donned over every kind of trouser to the most rugged denim jeans you have in your wardrobe. This is why a superior quality blazer from COTTON & COTTON is a must have for a man of class.
Fashion experts deem that a blazer should always be matched with odd trousers and never a fabric too similar. It is not a substitute for a suit but is meant to fill the yawning gulf between a business suit and casual dress. Thus, wearing a dark colored blazer for ‘business casual’ occasions is a trend which has caught on like a house on fire. Associated with gentlemanly sports like yachting, rowing and cricket-a blazer is an icon of style and class.
One needs unmistakable style and flair to carry off a COTTON & COTTON blazer just as it is meant to be worn. The blazers at COTTON & COTTON offer just the right fit in the shoulders allowing full arm movement and room in the chest to fully button the jacket.
