The press rarely ask what men are wearing—or who they’re wearing—on the red carpet. Chris Rock made this astute observation in his monologue at the 88th Academy Awards last Sunday—and for many, it was a temporary respite from the barrage of commentary that #OscarsSoWhite. Then, Chris rocked the house with his punchline, that an exception would be swiftly made for George Clooney in a lime green suit with a swan coming out of his rear end.

People often ask us about the difference between sport coat and a suit jacket, with the assumption that there is a grand and unambiguous answer. The truth is, there is no significant difference between the two. The main difference is the most obvious one, a suit jacket comes with a matching pant. In terms of cut, some men will often be more adventurous with a tighter fitting, high armholed suit jackets than sport coats.  But in terms of material, sport jackets can and are frequently made using a cloth with much more decoration and design within the weave.
