A blazer is a type of double breasted jacket, like that of a suit except in that it has patch pockets with no flaps and usually, metal shank buttons. In more recent times, a single breasted form, long in existence, has come into more common use. A blazer's cloth is usually of a durable nature as it is used in schools and was used for sport.

A Donkey jacket is a short, buttoned outer coat, typically made of black or dark blue woollen material, unlined; sometimes with a plastic panel covering the shoulder-blades area.
