Does anyone remember when they were in style? You never see them now. I had one from QVC many years ago that I loved. It was green with black velvet lapels and buttons. I think I donated it when I lost weight back then. I wish I still had it, I would take it to a tailor.

To me it's the jackets with a slight curve at the bottom, single breasted, often with contrast trim.

Anne Klein and Ralph Lauren vintage

Louis Dell'Olio had the equestrian style blazer a couple of years ago ... I'm sure some of the Linea Ladies have them still.   I didn't order it because it was a bit too long for me.

@Greeneyedlady21  I think this is a traditional garment that just never goes out of style...great with jeans and a sweater in cooler weather.

That Anne Klein jacket is 395 on a site called 1stdibs. From Anne Klein at Saks, in the 1970's.

I like them but would feel like a poser because I’ve probably spent an hour on a horse total in my life!

I’m not sure why I feel that way since I wear “riding” style boots. Lol

@Greeneyedlady21  Interesting information re the jacket.  L. Dell'Olio worked for Anne Klein.  I'll bet the A. Klein is very similar to the the L. Dell'Olio!

I do remember them. Actually I think I had one, at one time, but can't remember what I did with it. Probably donated.

I don't remember that style jacket.  I like that it's long.

Here's a copy of the Linea jacket I mentioned below:

@SoX I saw that LDO blazer on eBay when I was buying my second LDO trench coat.

Haven't been able to wear them because it's so cold where I live. Maybe some day.
