Is a velvet blazer appropriate for a wedding?

Yes for evening or winter weddings and for dress codes that stop short of black tie. For a daytime summer wedding, a wool or linen jacket is the safer choice.

What should I wear with a black velvet blazer?

Chinos, dark denim or dress trousers all work. Keep the rest simple: a plain shirt or fine knit, and leather shoes or clean boots.

How does velvet compare with a wool sport coat?

Velvet is softer, richer and more formal in look, but it is less durable and harder to clean. A wool coat is the better everyday jacket; velvet is the occasion one.

How should I care for a velvet blazer?

Dry-clean it and brush it with a soft clothes brush to lift lint and nap. Hang it on a wide shoulder-shaped hanger and avoid pressing it flat.

What is the fit like?

It is described as a modern tailored silhouette, so expect a closer cut than a traditional boxy blazer. Short and long lengths are offered alongside regular.

Our take on the Free Assembly Men's Velvet Blazer, Sizes 36S-48R

A single-breasted velvet blazer with a notch lapel, two-button front and double back vents, cut in a modern tailored silhouette. Velvet gives it a dressier look than the wool-blend sport coats it sits alongside, and it works with chinos or denim as easily as with trousers. It suits shoppers who want an occasion jacket without stepping up to designer velvet. The trade-off is velvet itself: it shows lint and pressing marks, and it is a statement piece rather than an everyday jacket.
