The blazer is the part of the dress of a school, college, sports club or armed service veterans' association, it is normal for a badge to be sewn to the breast pocket. A blazer is a type of jacket, usually double breasted, although single breasted blazers have become more common recently. A blazer resembles a suit jacket except that it usually has patch pockets with no flaps, and metal shank buttons. A blazer's cloth is usually of a durable nature as it is used in schools and was used for sport.
They often form part of the uniform dress of bodies, such as airlines, boys' schools, yacht or rowing clubs, and private security organizations. As sporting dress has become more adapted to the activity, the blazer has become more restricted to clubs' social meetings. Commonly, blazers are navy blue, but almost every color and combination of colors has been used, particularly by sporting organizations. |
