Blazers for Men
Six in the evening at Port Vauban, Antibes. The boats come in, the light turns gold and the white shirt asks for one more layer. A Baindoux blazer is that layer: soft on the shoulders, light enough for July and sharp enough for dinner. Choose from five models, each with a character of its own.
What is a blazer?
A blazer is a tailored jacket worn as a separate piece, without matching trousers. The blazer sits between the suit jacket and the casual jacket: dressier than other sports jackets, less formal than a suit. American stores show men’s sport coats and blazers side by side, and both answer the same question: what to wear when a shirt alone feels underdressed.
From Cambridge rowers to the Riviera
The blazer started on the river. In 1825, St John’s College in Cambridge founded the Lady Margaret Boat Club, and its rowers wore red flannel jackets. Those bright jackets gave the garment its name. By 1880, “blazer” was British university slang for a bright-coloured loose jacket. From the 1860s, scarlet jackets in club colours appeared at boating and cricket matches.
Navy classic, terry revival
In the 1930s, the blazer left the sports field. The double-breasted navy blazer became a wardrobe classic, shaped in part by the naval reefer jacket. Today, a luxury blazer for men moves between the office, the terrace and the deck of a boat.
Baindoux takes the blazer back to its summer roots. Wool makes way for Giza cotton, an extra-long-staple cotton grown along the Nile Delta. Giza cotton regulates temperature and holds dye, so the cotton blazer stays cool in July and the colours stay rich. The Royal and Courage are cut in terry, the same loop weave as a beach towel. The club colours return too, in combinations like Club Blue, Olive / Red and Pink / Dark Blue. The properties of Giza cotton explain the softness; Baindoux craftsmanship explains the finish.
How to wear a blazer
To wear a terry blazer, keep one plain layer underneath and one calm colour below.
- White T-shirt under The Royal in Club Blue, for a casual blazer look at lunch.
- Oxford shirt, open at the collar, under Royal Reverse for dinner.
- White or sand trousers, so a coloured blazer leads the outfit.
- Terry shorts like the Sky Short, for the hour between beach club and boat.
The collar sets the tone. The Royal and Royal Reverse carry a shawl collar with contrast piping, for a softer silhouette. The Lobster Jacket and the Aqua Jacket have notch lapels for a more classic line.
A day in Antibes, in four blazers
Nine o’clock. Coffee on the aft deck at Port Vauban. The Royal, our terry blazer with a soft shawl collar, in Club Blue over a white T-shirt and sand trousers. The terry feels like a towel on the shoulders and still looks like tailoring.
Noon. The Marché Provençal in the old town. A summer shower rolls in, and the Aqua Jacket, our waterproof blazer with a single button, keeps the light blue Oxford shirt underneath dry. With chinos, the Aqua Jacket passes as classic tailoring until the rain shows what it does.
Seven o’clock. An aperitif on the ramparts above the sea. Royal Reverse, a shawl-collar blazer in white with dark blue piping, goes over a navy polo and white trousers. The piping picks up the navy of the polo, so the outfit reads as one line.
Ten o’clock. Dinner on Cap d’Antibes. The Lobster Jacket, our numbered limited-edition blazer with gold buttons and a red lobster patch, goes over a crisp white shirt and dark trousers. The red claw on the pocket is the one detail the evening needs, worn with a cheeky grin.
Colour combinations that work on the coast:
- Club Blue with white and sand.
- White / Dark Blue with navy trousers and a white shirt.
- Olive / Red with cream and a red detail in the pocket square.

What is the difference between a blazer and a sport coat?

Is a terry blazer formal enough for dinner?
A terry blazer is right for dinner on the Riviera. Wear the terry blazer over a crisp shirt with tailored trousers, and choose a shawl collar like The Royal for an evening look.
Which Baindoux blazer is waterproof?
The Aqua Jacket is the waterproof blazer in the collection. The Aqua Jacket combines modern tailoring with a single button, in Blue / Dark Blue and Club Blue.
