At the moment i do not own one but it had always been at the back of my mind somewhere. Velvet blazers are cool and man chic. The well tailored ones project sartorial elegance and it's one piece anyone who considers himself metrosexual should have. It works with jeans (pictured), chinos and cotton pants. The blazer pictured is a Band of Outsiders gunmetal velvet blazer and it retails for $1500. Band of outsiders was founded by Scott Sternberg over four years ago and operates out of L.A, it's one of my favorite emerging American Labels.
