Picture Challenge - Boom period 5 pockets with sports jackets.

I typically wear 5ps with my sports jackets. Mainly because it's a more casual look than adopting the trews. But thinking about it I'm pretty sure Ive not seen many boom period pictures with people wearing 5ps and sports jackets. Do any pictures spring to mind? It's something I think of being very 1967-70. Or at least more typical of the end days of the boom

It was a look Paul Newman wore in the 60/70s. I'll try and dig up some pics.

in the 1967 flick Don't Make Waves Tony Curtis wears five-pocket jeans with some of his sport coats (including a double-vented sack) .... looked good ...

Woolster got them up, but that's the McQueen one I was referencing.

Yeah, that's great. It is a bit scruffy look on the whole, isn't it?

Without looking through, I'd imagine there's at least one guy in the Tech Ivy thread sporting the 5ps and jacket.  At least it seems like it would have fit right in.

Often wear 5 pocket sta-prest or the like but avoid denim as a major no no, too many Clarkson issues!

Mixing denim and tailoring is a dangerous affair.

Re: Picture Challenge - Boom period 5 pockets with sports jackets.

I'll occasionally wear an unstructured brown cord jacket or my brown moleskin jacket but I try to avoid it. Nothing tailored with jeans. Only resumed wearing blue jeans 18 months ago after boycotting them for around 5 years in protest at the rest of the lumpen. Can't abide people who wears ties or even business shirts with jeans. Extremely reluctant to even wear shoes with jeans. Very occassionly I might wear clompy double soled brown brogues.  I'm a bit more, not much, experimental with white jeans.

Its not easy being a man of principles.

Re: Picture Challenge - Boom period 5 pockets with sports jackets.

Brown cord or tweed, mostly sporty hunting type stuff or my unstructured chambray jacket with either indigo jeans or needlecord 5ps... Also white or red jeans, the white ones also with a mid 60s blazer... I think of "Blow Up", Ringo Starr on the beach and "The Graduate" - besides McQueen...

Re: Picture Challenge - Boom period 5 pockets with sports jackets.

It is good that this kind of informal look has been validated, I wear it all the time to smarten an informal look which is an important but delicate balance in my area of business now.  Never wear chinos with a tie but open button down shirt, five pocket chinos or flat front informal trousers, sport jacket/blazer/sack/tweed jacket of right sort dependent on season is my look.   It's then about the choice of the trouser to the jacket of course.

I recently had a few days in more formal flat front trousers, jacket, silk knitted tie and brogues/derbys, short beige raincoat over arm carried due to variable weather and it seemed shocking to business people in London.   A tie at the moment, especially a distinctive choice of tie is almost perceived as trying too hard.   Everything now is so informal and lazy that any kind of effort or specific choice seems to mark people out.

Re: Picture Challenge - Boom period 5 pockets with sports jackets.

"A current topic over on FNB - is it OK to wear a sports jacket with 5 pocket jeans?
Ask Paul. He knows."

Im pretty sure the question wasnt is it ok...just who has got some pictures.

Anyway I feel vindicated now. ..back to the tower.
