The Camel Hair Sport Coat

With the frigid temperatures we have been experiencing in the east, I have really enjoyed wearing my heavy tweeds, corduroy, and camel hair sport coats. The picture above is a Brooks Brothers example of how to wear your camel hair with WASP style. I loved this photo instantly, and I bought all of the items featured. Camel hair sport coats are available in alternative colors, but I suggest sticking to the basic color of camel. The blazer featured above actually has a subtle herringbone pattern. It is absolutely beautiful! I also own a basic camel hair blazer made by Ralph Lauren with no pattern and leather buttons. Camel hair sport coats in camel/brown plaid also look very sophisticated.

My suggestion, every WASP needs a camel hair sport coat for their rotation. Pair it with gray or white/cream flannel trousers. Olive corduroy trousers are another option that could be considered. However, I prefer gray or cream trousers. When considering a tie, the options are limitless.

As a WASP in my early 20's I recently made a purchase of my first Camel hair jacket, and I must say that it's absolutely delightful, and I thank you for pointing out it's nessiciety in a man's wardrobe, as I feel it's an often overlooked article.

I found a great vintage Brooks Brothers camel hair sport coat (almost caramel in color with a brown windowpane pattern) that I had tailored down from a 40 to a 38 and it did not turn out well, so I'm on the hunt again. Can anyone suggest the best places to find something similar?

My e-mail address is gary@wagstaffworldwide.com.

I just picked up a handmade Samuelsohn camel hair sport coat, just in time for fall (at a 75% discount, too). Impatiently waiting for the shop to finish the sleeve alterations.
