Men's Blazers and Suit Jackets

A blazer should improve the situation immediately. Good posture. Better shape without needing a personal trainer. The shoulder seam should sit neatly where your shoulder ends. Not halfway down your arm like an old indie band suit jacket from 2007. 

Slim fits ensure things are tidy and close to the body. Tailored fits are easier to wear, clean through the chest with enough room to move naturally. Relaxed fits work best in softer fabrics where a bit of drape adds character rather than chaos. 

The chest should button comfortably without pulling. Sleeves should stop just above the wrist so a touch of cuff shows underneath. Tiny detail, massive difference. Percival blazers are cut to feel sharp but lived in. The sort of tailoring that works equally well at a wedding, a date, or standing outside a pub holding crisps and giving unsolicited football opinions.

Let’s start with the classics. A men’s linen blazer with matching suit trousers is a no-fail formula, especially when paired with a white tee or knitted polo for added texture. Got a seersucker or double-breasted number? Let that be the hero piece and keep the rest simple: muted tones, clean lines, nothing that competes.

Buying the blazer is easy. Building the full look is where the fun starts. Most Percival suit jackets come with matching trousers and sometimes a waistcoat too, which saves you from trying to freestyle tailoring at eight in the morning. Pleated trousers work especially well because they balance the shape of the jacket and move properly when you walk rather than clinging on.

If you want to keep things classic, matching sets always land. Navy on navy. Brown on brown. Clean. Sharp. Done. But mixing pieces is where personality creeps in. Cream trousers with a navy blazer feels very south of France by way of Soho House. A brown linen blazer with light wash jeans has proper nineties energy, like you direct independent films but still answer emails.

Choosing blazer fabric is a bit like choosing a pub. Get it right and the whole evening improves. Linen is the obvious summer favourite. Light, breathable, and slightly rumpled in a charming way, like Jude Law halfway through a holiday in Italy. Ideal for weddings, garden parties, and pretending you are not checking the weather app every twenty minutes.

Lyocell moves differently. Softer drape, smoother feel, less "city banker", more "architect who owns records". It hangs naturally and works brilliantly for relaxed tailoring. Then there is moleskin and cord. Rich texture, proper weight, the sort of fabrics that feel made for cold evenings and red wine.

Percival works with carefully chosen mills and factories to keep the quality where it should be and the prices somewhere south of financial ruin. Pick the fabric for the season, then choose the colour that does the talking.

From Gareth Southgate to David Beckham, our collection of blazers has earned its place on well-dressed backs across Britain. Our men’s suit jackets come in the finest fits and fabrics including linen, lyocell, double breasted, tailored and single breasted cuts. 

Blazers aren’t just for formal occasions. Throw one over a cuban shirt and a pair of denim jeans, and suddenly it’s pub-ready, gallery-appropriate, and dinner-with-the-parents approved. Percival’s blazer jackets are designed to flex between smart and casual, with breathable fabrics for warmer months and enough room to layer up when it cools down. Think cool in the summer, suave in September.

Talking blazers without mentioning weddings would be poor form, wouldn’t it? Whether you’re the groom, best mate or just there for the free fizz, what you wear matters. And no, blending into a sea of navy isn't the only option. Our men’s blazers come in navy, merlot, cream, blue and our runaway favourite - forest green.
