What were blazers originally made for?
1 Answer
Originally, blazers were made for the oarsmen on the rowing teams of Oxford and Cambridge in England. The rowers wore them prior to competitions, but then began to show up to social occasions in them. In 1893, blazers first appeared in Vogue as stylish alternatives to frock coats and lounge suits. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of blazers from some of the world's top sellers.
