Men's Black Knit Blazer - Floral Lining

A black knit blazer is an evening jacket that does not read as formal wear. Cocktail events, dinners and nights out, where a tuxedo would be too much and a suit jacket too corporate.

Fabric and lining. A soft knit in 44% nylon, 48% rayon, 8% spandex, finished with a floral lining — the detail that shows when the jacket is open or hung over a chair.

Fit and sizing. Slim through the body, sizes 36 to 52. Knit construction means it gives at the shoulder and recovers its shape, so it travels better than a structured jacket.

Care. Professional dry clean. Not machine washable.

Wears with. Flex Tailor stretch dress pants in a contrasting colour, and a dress shirt with or without a tie. $249.99.

Knit or woven? The knit blazers are the softer, less formal half of the range. A woven stretch blazer holds a sharper line for business; a knit one is easier to wear for long stretches and packs without creasing, which is what makes it the travel jacket of the two.
