what is the difference between a blazer and sport coat
The differences are minor: 1  A blazer refers to a sportcoat that is made of navy wool, with brass buttons. 2  A suit jacket is the jacket part of a suit. 3  A sport coat is a jacket, cut like a suit jacket or blazer, that doesn't have an accompanying pair of pants - it's a standalone jacket.
The only difference between sport coats and blazers is that blazers are always solid-colored, usually blue, black, camel or dark green, while sport coats encompass about everything else. Blazers are considered more basic and more formal than sport coats. Photo Credit Jupiterimages/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images.
