research _ jackets and tailoring

jackets and tailoring will be an aspect that i want to look at and in corporate into this collection. i looked at high end, middle market and mass market styles that are currently available just to see what there is and how they differ with each other .

karen walker ____

1. patch blazer bouquet

2. classic trench rainproof coating

3. classic trench heavy wool flannel

4. blouson jacket bouquet

5. classic blazer birdseye suiting

6. mojo jacket coat

witchery ____

1. stretch twill tuxedo jacket

2. the peplum vest

3. structured linin blazer

dotti ____

1. the blues hilo jacket

2. the rome blazer

3. the rock n roll white blazer

4. bib front drapey jacket

5. rouched shrunken tux

there are so many different designs that are available !! there is more variation in the mass market with a variety of colors and style whereas the middle market doesn't really stock that many and the high end, it appears there are more .
i think even though they are all slightly different, the similarities are there which distinguishes a blazer from a coat. the sleeve lengths are all long sleeve except for a few which a 3/4 length which is interesting. no short sleeve ones, i guess it makes sense though, why would you want a short sleeved blazer? it's not warm and looks more like a shirt .
but this might be an idea for a design as it doesn't seem like anyone has done it. however after seeing and observing the many styles, i really want to go for either a blazer or a tux style jacket compared to a coat. a coat may be warmer but for me i think i want to focus on the other two .
i might even look into vests. vest are cute, stylish and can be worn with everything ! i especially like the peplum vest by witchery. i have to say it is such a great idea .
