suit jackets

Matching coat pieces

A suit jacket is the upper garment of a suit—a tailored coat designed to be worn with matching trousers.

It typically features lapels, a button front, and interior pockets.

Unlike a sport coat or blazer, a suit jacket is cut from the same fabric as its accompanying pants and looks incomplete without them: He couldn't find his suit jacket before the interview.
