My Blue Sportcoat
Published 3 years, 4 months ago in life storiesI own a blue sportcoat. This sportcoat is a pretty simple, blue sportcoat that I bought at Men’s Warehouse a year ago or two. It’s not flashy… the buttons on the sleeve are blue, not gold. It doesn’t have an embedded MP3 player built into it. It also doesn’t sing or dance on its own.
It’s my blue sportcoat, and it just works.
It’s probably the best wardrobe investment I’ve ever made, and I find myself throwing it on many times a week. When I’m “business casual” I use the sportcoat to dress up just a little more for most meetings. I also wear my blue sportcoat whenever I fly, as I’m not so concerned with the sportcoat getting torn or ripped, or spilled on, or stained, as I would be with one of my suit coats.
So, my advice to you: Buy a blue sportcoat. It’ll pay for itself over and over.
I closed my biggest deal ever wearing this blue sportcoat.

as long as i can remember my father has always pressured me to buy a blue sport coat. “you can wear it with anything,” hed say, “blue jeans, khakis, grey pants, black pants.” Hed tell me it was the single most used item of clothing any man would wear. Well, after years of refusing, i purchased my very first blue sport coat. It now gets worn 3+ times a week. Best investment ive ever made.
