Sport coat
Single-breasted jacket with lapels that is worn without matching trousers. The classic version is built with shoulder pads, canvas and lining; unlined and unstructured it drapes more softly and also goes with a T-shirt and sneakers. The shoulder seam ends at the edge of the shoulder, and the sleeve lets a little shirt cuff show. A navy sport coat made of hopsack goes with gray wool trousers, chinos and jeans.
