I've seen this so much lately. When did it become popular?

It's easier to stay warm, I guess. It also enhances the Braff douchiness, like he needs any help.

― Abbott (Abbott), Monday, 15 January 2007 23:52 (nineteen years ago)

yeh, this is a pretty old trend. we talked about the reconstructed thrift blazers with the sweatshirt hoodie part already sewn in. sold in boutiques a few years ago.

― ian johnson's mom + jack bauer 2gether 4evah (Carey), Monday, 15 January 2007 23:56 (nineteen years ago)

that's not even a sportcoat he's wearing, it's like a full-on suit jacket

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Monday, 15 January 2007 23:57 (nineteen years ago)

but y'know, sometimes you really just want to wear your hoodie no matter what

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Monday, 15 January 2007 23:58 (nineteen years ago)

which makes the hoodie-sewn-into-jacket even more ridiculous and wtf fashion

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Monday, 15 January 2007 23:59 (nineteen years ago)

I'm oblivious to fashion. I've only noticed it recently, especially after a douchbag that was wearing it slammed into me because he wasn't looking where he was going the other night.

I just don't think it is adequate enough for warmth, especially a Chicago winter.

― Jeff. (Jeff), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 00:03 (nineteen years ago)

not adequate, no. but recall long stripey scarf trend of 2003 too.

i really really want a grey hoodie. a bit darker grey than the one braff is wearing, thicker too. they are dif to find, it seems.

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 00:08 (nineteen years ago)

what the hell is a "sports coat"? is this some stupid American thing like "golf shirt"? Just call things what they are, for goodness sake.

If it's really cold, a hoodie under leather jacket is okay...

But what the fuck is this?

I hate Zach Braff and all that he (and his ilk) represents, but I can't help it...this look is totally adorable on certain people.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 09:39 (nineteen years ago)

I don't get the Zach Braff hatred! He's JD on Scrubs which is fantastic! He isn't anything else one needs to pay attention to, surely? Where's the hating?

This is so commonplace who is bovvered? Unless you mean hoody under a "blazer", which gets into Young Alan Partridge territory, a bit. I suppose.

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 09:45 (nineteen years ago)

I have no idea who Zach Braff even is, but Mel is right - this can be very adorable. I think it's that kind of Junior Varsity Ivy League preppy thing, but a little bit punk.

― The Long Grey And Overcast Tea Time Of The Soul (kate), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 12:11 (nineteen years ago)

In 1998 and parts of 1999 I wore a brown wool houndstooth "sportcoat" with a gray hoodie underneath, it was kind of a lark though and I was self-conscious about it.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 12:44 (nineteen years ago)

yeah i gotta admit it's a cute look but lololol @ zach braff

― A B C (sparklecock), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

I've hated this look from the first time I saw it. Combines upscale and casual in the dullest, most unflattering way; says "I'm a shlub but I'm also trying really really hard."

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

I'm fond of this look, good idea or not, but it's def a casual thing: I think it should be worn for bumming around and the jacket should be bringing the rest of the ensemble up a little, rather than the hoodie bringing the jacket down so you can signify broadly that you didn't really care about a formal event even though you went to it and accepted their award. Cunt.

it's cos he looks too much like Conor McNicholas innit.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

Personally I think it works better with corduroy blazers (possibly with leather patches on the elbows) rather than proper suit jackets.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

Good point.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

I also dislike hoodies with teh fancy embroidery. Must we dress-up every item of casual clothing? Will we next be seeing people wearing tuxedos with black silk baseball caps? $120 muscle shirts?

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

I'm guilty of this because I have an old corduroy blazer I wear fairly often in lieu of a proper winter coat... and sometimes I wear a hoodie. though depending on the thickness of said hoodie, it's as often as not likely that the actual hood winds up on the inside of the jacket. (Mostly because I'm prone to schlubbiness.)

― Will (will), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 15:15 (nineteen years ago)

i have a sewn-in!! i bought in buenos aires! it's awesome!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

So just to clarify. A sports jacket IS a blazer, right?

I know you American people have the word "blazer" bcz I larffed and larffed and so did Dr etc etc @ the bit in dodgeball where he introduces...

Blade.
Laser.
BLAZER.

It's like Thanks Ants... thants but with more, er, balls?!

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

I am confusing myself now about the difference between a "suit jacket" and a "blazer". OH GOD. Well dressed menfolk take over please.

― Bhumibol Adulyadej (Lucretia My Reflection), Tuesday, 16 January 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

The "blue blazer" is the classic blazer, with discreet nautical buttons on the sleevies. Yeah, it's worn with contrasting.... slacks. My least favorite word in the world.

A "sport coat" or "sport jacket" on the other hand... well, it's the same thing, isn't it?

I agree wi/nklicious that the best way for this look to go is with a soft and comfy dress jacket, and the more formless the better.

blazers and sportcoats are more "sturdy" and less "dressy" than suit jackets. Think student.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 05:04 (nineteen years ago)

seems the consensus is: it depends on the jacket/sportcoat?

― jaxon (jaxon), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 05:13 (nineteen years ago)

I did this approx. 2003-2005, with a brown corduroy jacket and a navy blood sweatshirt, but that was largely because I was COLD and too grad-studenty to afford a new coat. (I continued to wear the sweatshirt under my ratty old full-on coat when the cold bit of winter came.)

zach braff could be wearing pretty much anything in that pic and still look like a douche

― lemin (lemin), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 06:49 (nineteen years ago)

The technical advantage on this one, besides the obvious layering/warmth thing, is that you get the fuzzy comfort of a sweatshirt, but instead of the shapeless appearance of it, there's still an actual line and structure to your clothes.

(I know you can almost find sweatshirts that have some kind of clean line and structure to them, but it's difficult, and kind of a losing battle against the basic nature of sweatshirts.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 17 January 2007 07:23 (nineteen years ago)

i had a pinstripe blazer for a while that i wore with tshirts...don johnson style! i loved that thing until i walked into the middle of a foodfight and was too fucked up to ever want to look at it again

I still do this. Don't know if it's sad or unfashionable but it suits me in a casual/smart way while keeping me warmer than I'd be if I were just wearing a goodie or a shirt and blazer.

I was pretty surprised to learn on this thread that the hoodie-sportcoat look had something to do with mansplaining.

― très hip (Treeship), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 16:44 (eleven years ago)

I like the layerediness which is good for this time of year when light rain threatens but it's overall slightly warmer. Also the whole shape and line of the sports jacket offset with the hoodie. Dunno I just like it. Screw you all.
