This blazer is truly next level. It’s colorful yet balanced, flashy yet classic, and to someone like me, a statement piece and a wardrobe staple. This piece is a fabulous challenge that once solved could be a part of my wardrobe for years to come. Before we get into styling this piece, let’s talk about how we met.
It was August 2014 and out of the blue I got invite from Jack L. Carlson to the launch of his book called Rowing Blazers at the Ralph Lauren store on 5th Avenue. I don’t remember how he got my information but a book on the history and culture around such a classic item of clothes peaked my interest. So I RSVP’d and made plans to head there with my friend, Mike Davis.
A great time was had by all, The Winklevoss twins were there amongst others. It was a fun event and in the end, the words Rowing Blazers had an added meaning in my head. They were connected to this event and to this guy Jack Carlson.
One day, years later I saw this photo shot by my friend Rose Callahan, then this one, and all of a sudden, I saw it fully and my mind reeled. Here was a possibly perfect and impossible blazer.
This was the signature blazer that launched Rowing Blazers from a book to a brand. A single breasted, 3 roll 2 silhouette with 3 patch pockets, no vents and brass buttons. An unlined blazer made of 75% wool, 25% cotton. Milled in England and made in New York. In a conversation with Jack Carlson, he told me it was designed by his girlfriend Keziah Beall based on a Jaques croquet wicket. This bit of inspiration led her to create the original design… in Microsoft Paint of all things. A marriage of tradition and whimsy brought to life: the Croquet Striped Blazer.
I’ve pined for this blazer since I saw it in 2017. It’s been like a reoccurring dream bounding in and out of my consciousness for 3 years and finally, thanks to Jack, I have one. So how do I wear it???

How Would you style this blazer?
Fully monochromatic outfit (perfectly matching one of the stripes). But all of your selections are 💯
All day, every day is how I would style it, but that's just me 😂But seriously, I'd love to wear this with stripe-matching pink trousers and pink dress shirt topped with a brown vest and a cherry red bow-tie and square for a perfect chocolate-covered strawberry ice cream sundae look. Maybe throw in that silk ascot for a touch of whipped cream deliciousness!
I'd pick up the yellow in some way, just cause I'm a big fan on yellow X) Loved all the ways u styled it! Great job
I liked look 2 the best. If you had pants in a pink that would look good too or the brown
No pants. Trench coat over the ensemble, armed with hepatitis eyes and a menacing smile peeking from every dimlit alleyway in London.
Passion, passion, passion. Dandy Wellington has spoken the way for an artistic blazer from Rowing Blazers. A true elite of the blazer's culture, heritage, and passion.
I think the key element that pulls all those outfits together is your personality. As much as I admire that coat I could never pull it off. You make it look natural and effortless tho. 👌🎩
Kind of you to say. I’ve always liked bright color in clothes but I think everyone can incorporate bright or fun elements into their wardrobe. It’s all about balance .
Taking a moment to appreciate the green and white outfit alongside the fantastic new blazer. This whole video is a great example of why you shouldn't be afraid of a colourful wardrobe.
MY SCREAM WHEN YOU REVEALED THE STRIPED SOCKS 💀💀💀
I have to admit that blazer is awesome.....
I’m so into it!!
I have a small section of my closet I lovingly call "The Hideous Wardrobe"-- they're pieces that are super ostentatious, kinda ugly, or just very unique. They can be a pain to style, and I don't often have occasions to wear them-- but they are some of my favorite pieces. This video has so inspired me to go back into that part of my wardrobe and drag those pieces into my everyday wear (post-pandemic) and just figure out how to make them work!
Level 3!!!! The cream with the blazer is divine!
I wish I loved ANYTHING as much as he loves this blazer. Dandy's passion behind this beautiful blazer is so nice to see!
I mean in 2020 anything that brings joy should be highlighted! 😁
@@DandyWellington ABSOLUTELY!! 👏🏼
Truly gorgeous pairing with the multi-check bowtie
I love love love the look with the cream waistcoat. It allows the blazer to take center stage, but without having the rest of the look fully melt into the background.
Of course the croquet blazer is spectacular, but let's hear it for that fantastic off-white and green college blazer! Man, I'd love one of those.
The way you styled all three is MARVELOUS, get into it, but 3 is my fav, yes sir lol.
What a jacket! Anyone who says that jacket is impossible to style just hasn't used their imagination. However, your suggestions and process will probably give them a good place to start. 👌
I knew my faith in mspaint wasn't misplaced. 😍awesome!
Unfortunately, it would be with black jeans and a black t-shirt because that's about all that's in my hubby's wardrobe. What a stunner of a blazer. Thanks so much for sharing your style tips and wonderful personality with us. Take care.
I love them all, but the cream is the bees knees! I love how you pulled this all together.
I'm so glad I rediscovered Rowing Blazers, searched it up on youtube and this video was recommended to me. You have a fantastic style and great character, subscribed.
I would love to see your vintage shoe collection!
I adore all three of the ensembles, as well as your filming outfit. There is just something about that green and white ensemble that I thoroughly appreciate.
Also, your voice over was top notch!!
I love your videos/content on a “regular” day, but seeing you get this blazer that you clearly love and seeing how happy it made you just lit my morning! Congrats! 😍🙌🏻 I hope my Partner looks at me the way you look at that blazer. 😍😂
Holy! you look AMAZING in it 10/10!
Could you share with us, where do you shop for all your vintage clothing?
Last look is my favourite - perfect for a jolly holiday with Mary 😄
It would be pink roll neck, red corduroy dungarees & clunky boots for me, alas, I don’t have your class Dandy!
I had to sing that line 😂
I can't get enough of this video!!! So amazing and interesting.
I think my favorite is the second outfit :)
Love the early 1960's style music and voiceover in the styling section--such a great touch!
Your stripe transition in this video is elite! Came here to get some inspo for sewing this fabric in the (hopefully not too distant) future.
Yes! That Rowing Blazer is It All! Thank you for the colour-matching and styling discussion - could NOT pick a favourite from the 3 Stylings. Maybe a future Costume College presentation? I hope to go some year.
Gotta confess, though, that I couldn't stop staring at and admiring what you chose to wear for the video. That my favourite colour has always been green, plays a part but... oh the perfection of the stripes on the jacket paired with the stripe on the v-neck of the sweater :) Happily envious of your collection.
That cream outfit... Gah! that looks so good ♥️
I liked the black one best and then the cream. And all the shoes!
That blazer is just EVERYTHING! My jaw literally dropped when I saw it LOL
Really liked all combinations, especially the cream slacks and vest
Beautiful video, superb content! Are you still posting? I miss your wit and impeccable style.
That color combination on the croquet blazer...is just mindblowing!! :O :O :O (you'd think it'd clash but it doesn't!!! O_o o_O)
I like the level 1 and 3 look the best btw (and also I just like it a lot when you wear the boater hat, Dandy 😉)
I neeeeed that biowtie~!!!
You styled this so very well, thank you for the video! Keep up your awesomeoness :)
Bro, you are a reincarnation from another era!
Loved this video and the blazer! My favorites were the second and third choices.
i want one of ‘Rowing Blazers’ sweaters that they recently brought back, famously worn by Princess Diana.
This is a master class in styling, I'm so impressed
This is my new favorite video!
An expert at work. Thanks for sharing.
That was fabulous! Thank you for the styling tips. I loved the cream trousers and waistcoat
Just gorgeous!
cheers!
That blazer is so quintessentially you, it's amazing! Thank you for bringing *us* joy in these times, I love hearing you talk so passionately about style and colour. The third outfit with the cream trousers and vest is my favourite, but they are all smashing! I had a big smile on my face this entire video :)
Not sure I'd be brave enough to try anything that colourful, but those stylling tips are really helpful. Maybe since we're coming into summer here in Australia, I'll try and actually wear a colour, just one, start small 😅
The passion for the clothes on this video was contagious!!! 💕✨💕✨
I was a latecomer to this jacket. It was a knockout when Tan France wore it on Queen Eye! This episode was outstanding bravo! I vote for the third look. The cream layer is too nice!
i'm ordering me one TONIGHT!!!! Thanks for the style tips bruh.
I would go with a simple black bow tie...and a blue suede wingtip shoe that matches the blue of the jacket. Or a cream/white suede and brown leather saddle shoe with a wide leg trouser.
You are delightful and an inspiration!
I have to say I love the Blazer 😍😍😍😍😍 my favourite look has to be number 1 the entire outfit worked perfectly with the blazer.
I loved hearing about your styling process!
I loved all your combinations. You surely have style.m
I mean, it was obvious that if anyone was going to style this blazer well, it’d be you, it just screams Dandy Wellington’s style. Once again, I tuned in to admire menswear when I don’t wear any myself and left with lots of tips that will apply to my style too. If you ever do a more in-depth video about pattern mixing (if there is more advice to dish besides what you said here), I’d love to watch that.
Look #2 is my favorite! Thanks for explaining how you turn a statement piece into a staple piece. A Stapement piece.
You give me confidence to enjoy my clothing more!! Even though my clothing style is very different, I learn so much about weight and balance. You are top notch sir!!!
You should check out the English Rugby team Harlequins suit..... it's.... a sight to be seen: striped, sometimes checks, sometimes diamond shape. I have seen men wear the full suit at a rugby match.
I’m a fellow musician, also sartorially inclined. I’ve just found your channel and am loving your videos! The specifics here were really useful, some great tips. Thank you!
It looks so good! The third style was my fave. My instinct would be to wear it with pink
Styling my good man!
I missed wearing my club rowing blazer at Henley Regatta last year. Hopefully it’s on this year, but I am not too hopeful
OBSESSED with the second outfit!!!
Bloody fantastic. Really love the blazer and especially loving the checked bow tie. Now you’ve given me inspiration for future blazers for myself... in the queue.
This was really interesting ! I would love to see more of these videos where you style challenging pieces :)
The second look is my favourite !
I really liked looks 2 and 3 on you. Loved the detail with the socks!
You are brilliant!
An excellent blazer! I just don't have enough chutzpah to pull it off.
I Go for Level 2
BRAVO👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏼👍🏼❗
Love all three outfits. One question: with a wool/cotton blend, is the texture close to vintage Palm Beach cloth?
Loveook #3 😍😍😍, but is that a button down or a turn down collar?
Turn down club collar
Difficult to choose which styled outfit was my favorite!!💜
Maybe I missed it, but what is the hat that you're wearing called??
In the video I’m wear straw boater and caps or Apple Jacks
Muted?????? omg. Anyway, I Love look Two, the bowtie, the hat and the SHOES!

The way styling a black suit would make most think that its bearer may be a security guard , this jacket can easily throw its bearer on the fringes of being a clown
