Uses

A refined blazer for polished workwear looks

Smythe's Not A Db purple blazer is presented as a refined addition to any workwear wardrobe. Made from a luxurious stretch wool fabric with an impeccable fit, it's positioned by the brand as balancing beauty and versatility for dressed-up office outfits.[2]

A double-breasted look with single-breasted ease

When you want the polished, swaggering look of a double-breasted blazer without the extra layer of buttons, this Smythe blazer fits the moment: it delivers a sumptuous double-breasted look with the comfort of a single-breasted design. Slight shoulder padding and a structured silhouette help complete the tailored effect.[2,4,5]

Wear it as a directional three-piece suit

This Smythe blazer can be styled with its coordinating waistcoat and pant as a directional three-piece suit, offering a coordinated tailoring option. The blazer itself is closely tailored with a strong shoulder and the ease of a single-breasted blazer with the illusion of a double-breasted style.[1]

A blazer thrown over denim for casual days

Smythe styles the Not A DB Blazer as a casual anchor piece—simply thrown over denim on relaxed days, letting one strong blazer set the tone for the rest of the outfit. It's framed as a piece meant to be worn on repeat as part of a cohesive wardrobe.[3]

Not A Db Purple Blazer: Choose this if you want a blazer with the look of a double-breasted style but the ease of a single-button, single-breasted closure, in a streamlined, longline silhouette with padded shoulders and a tapered waist. Cut from a stretch blend of polyester, virgin wool, and elastane with a cupro rayon lining, it is made in Canada and can be worn with the coordinating waistcoat and pant as a three-piece suit, though the brand notes it is dry clean only. Note the close fit runs streamlined—the brand recommends your usual size and sizing up if you are between sizes.[1,2,4,6]Duchess Blazer: Choose this if you want a fitted, princess-seamed single-breasted blazer with classic tailoring details — embossed gold buttons, flap pockets plus a chest welt pocket, buttoned cuffs and a double back slit. It is fully lined with cupro rayon, offered in Black sizes 2 through 16 and Navy/Midnight Blue sizes 4 through 10, and is made in Canada. One wearer calls it beautifully made and worn all the time, but had the waist taken in, so consider the fitted cut if you prefer a roomier shape.[7,8,9]Duchesse Linen Blazer: Choose this if you want a fitted, single-breasted linen blazer with a defined waist, princess seaming, notch lapels, gold buttons, and a cutout back vent that one Town & Country author loves because it sits above her pants and prevents visible layering. The shell is 100% linen with a 97% polyester, 3% elastane lining, it is made in Portugal, and it comes in sizes 2 through 16. Note that the merchant's 'timeless,' 'luxurious' and 'silky' characterizations are promotional descriptors rather than independently verified qualities.[10,11,12]
