Safari jacket from Cesare Attolini in linen oxford, somewhat between formal and casual.

You need to get out more and stop reading AAAC from 10 years ago.Why formal, in your view?
Given most safari jackets have double breast pockets (usually bellows or patch), large patch or bellow pockets, shirt sleeves and shoulders, 4-button straight closed quarters, and are completely unlined, I have a hard time thinking of this specific jacket design in general as anything but casual/sport.
Because you can wear it perfectly with tailored trousers, as well as chinos and casual ones.Why formal, in your view?

So not specific to the Attolini one, but more in general?Be

The jacket, though unlined, has a proper structure thanks to the cloth and the cut.

These days that jacket is very near morning suit formality

I used to read it but never posted on it. Much mirth is to be found on there if you roll back to the early/mid naughties.
It is.....it is...Thanks. Life’s too short, it seems.

What's with the endless Safari jackets? Unless you are on Safari, there is no need for one.
I have never played Golf in my life, I have been on Safari where I probably wore a Harrington. I personally find the Safari jacket dated, but yes that's just IMHO.To me the safari jacket is a very nice and versatile garment, way more stylish than a harrington jacket. By the way, you don't need to play golf to wear a harrington, so neither you need to be on safari to wear a safari jacket.
Except shackets, field jackets, shirt jackets and every other jacket is better than a safari jacket.We are seeing endless variations and crossovers of shackets, field jackets, safari jackets. Labels trying to put their own twist on things. A few hits but mostly misses.
What about the knitted blazer? I have been tempted...Except shackets, field jackets, shirt jackets and every other jacket is better than a safari jacket.

I think Safari jackets are pretty cool. I've got a blue, yeah thats right, BLUE one, in a Gobi Gold/linen mix. Paired with cotton trousers and a casual shirt whats not to like? Not really suited to ties IMHO, their more of a slack chilled vibe coat.Somethings have stood the test of time, the Chino and the Panama. Others have not, the Safari jacket and the Pith Helmet.
I had a nice one by RLP a few years back. Toasty and comfy but I snagged it to death. Every time I wore it I seemed to snag it on something.What about the knitted blazer? I have been tempted...
