"Blazers: A Timeless Symbol of Style and Sporting Excellence" From the rowing crew photograph in 1911 to the Aussie cricketers in 1893, they have long been associated with sporting prowess and camaraderie. Whether it's the Bowling Club in Lostwithiel, Cornwall or the iconic Wimbledon match between Fred Perry and Gottfried von Cramm, they have graced countless moments of athletic history. But blazers aren't just for sports; they effortlessly blend style and functionality. From swimwear to summer fashions for women, they have evolved to suit various occasions. In an advert drawn by Mabel Lucie Attwell for Heatonex garments, we see how they are elevate any outfit. Even prestigious events like The Boat Race between Cambridge Crew and Oxford Crew showcase outdoor sporting portraits where these jackets take center stage. And let's not forget about cricket – when English and Australian teams faced off at Lords during the second test, their blazers exuded a sense of tradition and national pride. Beyond sports, it also make appearances in unexpected places. Take the School Political Candidates from Fowey, Cornwall in May 1992 – their smart attire symbolized ambition and professionalism even outside of traditional settings. And who says you can't be fashionable while riding vintage motorcycles? A group of fun-loving individuals proved that point as they donned their stylish blazers on two wheels. Whether capturing historic moments or adding a touch of sophistication to everyday life, blazers remain an enduring symbol of style and sporting excellence throughout time.
