Particularly the purple and gold versions on the page. Seriously, should I wear such a jacket for while I'm puffin some fine blend, or for when I need to keep my pimp-hand strong while collecting my ends from my stable?
...I guess it actually could be for BOTH.

Pimp hat? Good sir, you must wear a fez! Don't forget the Persian slippers...They do have quite the collection, don't they? I guess if you're going to wear a smoking jacket go big or go home!

You would have to start with a proper mustache before choosing your smoking jacket.

I wouldn't want my "red mustache" to clash with the color of the jacket.

I tend to go more with the Fruit of the Loom collection for relaxed smoking.

:rofl:

Kirkland for me.

I actually have a wool Tilley sweater that I wear when stepping out at home for a puff. I'll call it "Frontier Pimpin Apparel"!! lol

Fortunately, Gentleman's Emporium sells those, too!

The old song and dance man, one of the greats of the musical stage and movies, Jimmy Durante, used

to sing a song titled, "It's all in the way that you wear your hat." Same for smoking jackets. If you want

to pimp it up, buy it tight, wear it with a big fedora with big feathers in the band, smoke a cigar not a pipe,

and walk around and gesture like an inebriated rooster. For the gent effect, buy the jacket in a size that

drapes just a little even if you have a spare tire, don't wear a hat with it, preferably wear a solid tie or

conservative bow tie, smoke a large bent pipe, and keep an elegant brandy at hand that you sip, don't chug.

Or you can buy a jacket in each size, with two sets of appropriate gear, and alternate.

The smoking jacket? Too limp-wristed for my tastes.
But hey, whatever floats your Cheerios

LOL ... sometimes I have to remind myself that not everyone is going to realize when I’m joking. No smoking jackets here...I couldn’t be stylish in any form if my life depended on it.

Heres me in my take on the smoking jacket,

it also doubles as an everything else jacket.

They look good to me.

 

[sfsteves]

mine is gray, but otherwise quite a bit like this one which is $9.97 at WalMart ...

I used to wear a Northface down vest to smoke outside when it got cold. But after a few years, little ash drips spotted the damn thing with dozens of tiny holes, eventually the feathers began to pop out, till I looked like a tarred and feathered chicken in full plumage. So yeah, I guess I do see the need for a smoking jacket. On the other hand, usually these days, I just use those Chinese wind screens on the pipe and they take care of any flying ash.

Well... If I have to go all Big Mac Daddy I think I'd have to stitch to my ranching roots.

Ahh good, a source for a quality smoking jacket. Now if I could just find a good quality fez...

Lovely internet store. I am particularly fond of the long stocking night cap.
