Looking at the city coat from Gustin, and not really digging the format (it's a crossover, IMO not in a good way, between a suit jacket (sports coat, odd jacket etc) and a denim jacket, I was wondering if someone had done a more original version jacket in denim. Savile Row tailor Richard Anderson, for example, had:
Could Lawless do this? I'm not thinking a canvassed version, like this one, but rather a very basic version without canvassing. Notch lapel, single button, would prefer patch pockets (the usual number on a suit jacket, 3, NO double breast pockets, no flaps). Perhaps very thin pads in the shoulders, but I'm thinking not. Lapels in the width pictured above, not too skinny. Rather err on the side of wide.
Would make an interesting alternative to a blazer or tweed jacket, and could be used with dress shirts. Also, add a pair of chinos in the same fabric and voila, a denim suit.
