The Trucker Jacket

The trucker jacket, also known as the “trucker jacket” or “jean jacket”, is an iconic piece of clothing that dates back to the style of American cowboys, farm labourers and truckers. Traditionally made of denim, the design of this jacket is characterised by its straight cut, long sleeves and usually buttons on the front, as well as chest pockets. Originally, the trucker jacket was used for its durability and comfort, making it perfect for outdoor work.

Over the years, the trucker jacket has evolved and become an essential piece in many people’s wardrobes, transcending its initial function and becoming a symbol of casual fashion. Its versatility allows it to be worn on a variety of occasions, from casual outings to dressier events, combining well with different types of clothing, such as tees, shirts and different types of trousers, lending personality to both a more classic and vintage style and a more contemporary one. With the growing interest in sustainable fashion, many designers are producing eco-friendly versions of the trucker jacket, using recycled fabrics and production processes that have less impact on the environment.

Another interesting aspect of the trucker jacket is the possibility of customisation and many choose to add patches, embroidery or even special dyes to give the garment a personal touch. In short, the trucker jacket is more than just a jacket; it’s a style statement that adapts to different cultures around the world. Tailorari has style solutions ranging from linen to winter cover that produce a very “out of the box” track jacket for the most sophisticated customers.

The Tuxedo or Black Tie

Black tie is a formal dress code that is traditionally worn at elegant events from 5pm onwards, such as parties, weddings and formal dinners. For men, black tie usually involves wearing a dinner jacket, which is made up of a jacket with satin silk or velvet lapels, usually black, and matching trousers that may or may not have a silk band profile. The shirt must be white, with a stiff collar and buttoned, and must have a pleat or a smooth surface. The use of a black bow tie and sash is an essential feature of dinner jacket dress, although in some more modern variations, a tie can be used depending on the concept of the event. A button-down jacket with a shawl or peak band is acceptable.

The fabrics vary according to the time of year, from elastcotine to alpaca, mohair and barathea in wool, silk and blends.

To complete the look, it’s common to wear black patent or leather shoes, such as Oxford or brogue models, which should be shiny and well polished. Accessories such as a white pocket handkerchief add a touch of elegance. It’s also important to note that the hair style should be well groomed and the use of watches or jewellery should be minimalist.

The dinner jacket or black tie is synonymous of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the importance of the event and the respect for the hosts.

The Peacoat

The peacoat is a classic garment of naval origin, traditionally made of heavy wool. Original to the Dutch navy in the 16th century, the peacoat became popular with British and American sailors and was associated with a rugged and practical style. The peacoat’s characteristic design includes a short cut, usually ending at the upper thigh, with a generous collar and band that allows for cross-buttoning. The wide lapels and firm structure provide both warmth and wind protection, making it ideal for harsh, cold weather conditions.

In addition to its functionality, the peacoat stands out for its timeless style. Available in a variety of colours, navy blue being the most popular, it is often made from wool or wool-blend melton, which gives it an elegant and sophisticated look, and can be used with other materials such as cordroy or even water-resistant country fabrics. The peacoat is versatile and can be combined with a variety of outfits, from shirts and jeans to more formal suits, making it a key piece in a man’s wardrobe.

Over the years, the jacket has gained modern adaptations, but its essence remains the same. It’s a popular choice for both casual looks and more formal events. The use of the peacoat transcends trends, reaffirming itself as a fashion classic. Today, it is appreciated not only for its history and functionality, but also for its aesthetic and enduring appeal, with the unique ability to become almost family.

It’s a daring style to make a peacoat out of linen, and a whole flair of sophistication manifests itself in the elegance of the wearer and the beholder.

The Other Fact

The other suit is the one that a man wears as he discovers himself in his own way of being seen by others. After the basics “big five”, the world of imagination and creativity may and should open to a myriad of expressions under the baton of the seasons that include fabrics in their most varied warps of raw and recycled materials, colours and patterns as well as greater or lesser boldness in terms of the style to be chosen. The seasonal cycle calls for the right and appropriate choice of what, where and how to wear it. Summer calls for linens and cottons, as well as mohairs and fresh wools, in neutral colours so that the accessory bears the signature of the wearer. Autumn is the alchemical fire that paints cities in various reds, oranges and yellows and winter is coming, it’s time for featherweight flannels, merinos, cashmeres, baby camel hair and other wools whose exoticism lies in the warmth of the sun and the softness of the clouds. The warps and patterns are prince of Wales and herringbones, chalk stripes a little more daring. The three-piece suit or the trench coat indicate greater thermal comfort and elegance. Come spring, the woollen trench coat, the all-season weight, will find its natural habitat and be worn in the widest variety of colours and patterns.

The other suit is the trendy expression that refreshes the wardrobe.

The Morning Coat

We know it as a tailcoat, which derives from froc, a round-brimmed jacket that Charlie Chaplin wore very short, but it is in the English term morning coat that the garment finds all its meaning and attributes in the men’s wardrobe. Originating in the 19th century, it was first worn by members of the British aristocracy during daytime events, and the annual equestrian event at Ascot continues the tradition. The design of the morning coat is characterised by a distinctive cut: it is a one-button coat at the front that stretches to the back, forming a tail that splits in two, similar to a tailcoat, albeit shorter. It is usually made from lightweight fabrics such as wool or linen, ideal for warmer climates.

Traditionally, the basic morning coat is combined with striped trousers, a white shirt and a waistcoat, which can be in a variety of colours, such as grey or cream. The tie can be a bow tie or a long tie, depending on the formality of the event. This outfit is typically worn on formal occasions such as weddings, christenings and other daytime celebrations. But the pinnacle of the tailcoat lies in choosing distinctive colours and patterns such as the Prince of Wales, the pin stripe or the chalk stripe with a Winchester shirt (plain pale-coloured fabric with a small pattern or stripes with a white collar and cuffs), which a beautiful tie completes in apotheosis.

The morning coat also carries a symbolism of elegance and sophistication, being a popular choice among guests at more refined social events. Over the years, while fashion has evolved, the morning coat remains a timeless choice, reflecting nostalgia and respect for sartorial traditions and, in our country, increasingly being adopted as the “groom’s suit”.

Although the morning coat is less common at everyday events, it is seen at official ceremonies and special events, perpetuating its status as a male style icon. Thus, the morning coat continues to symbolise a degree of formality and refinement in elevated men’s dress.

Urban and professional dynamics are changing, and with it so are certain dress codes that influence the entire silhouette and, above all, the comfort and freedom of movement, mobility and breathability of the garments. While some professions are a little more resistant to the winds of change, others are the very flagship of the avant-garde and new professions, such as the digital nomad. Travel fabrics, with their strong resilience to wrinkling, and so-called leisure fabrics have taken centre stage in iconic pieces such as the over-shirt, the work jacket, the safari jacket or even the suit with trousers and jacket that we call the broken suit.

Tailoring offers a very rich approach to this trend as the range of fabrics on offer surpasses any ready-to-wear offer and allows for unique customisations from the most discreet to the most vibrant, from the most classic to the most daring, in any season.

The Preppy or College Jacket

Let’s be cheeky and say that the term “preppy” is to the Portuguese “alfacinha” as “beto”, or in other words, college boy. The “preppy college jacket” is a garment that dates back to the academic and social traditions of American universities, mainly those of the Ivy League, or the sports league of the eight American universities of Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale. This item has become a symbol of status and class, associated with a sophisticated and often elitist lifestyle, made with details that can include emblems or insignia representing educational institutions, as well as specific colours that refer to university teams and fraternities.

The design of the preppy college jacket tends to be characterised by structured cuts, which give it a polished and organised appearance, ideal for an academic environment and has become a casual fashion icon, often combined with polo shirts, chinos and classic trainers. The popularity of this garment has been reinforced by celebrities and influencers, who have adapted it to different styles, showing its versatility in any wardrobe.

The preppy college jacket also carries a connotation of nostalgia, evoking the image of students engaged in extracurricular activities such as debating and sport. Over time, it has established itself not only as an item of clothing, but as a cultural symbol representing an aspirational lifestyle. Thus, the preppy shell continues to be a popular choice for both casual events and special occasions, reaffirming its place in contemporary fashion.
