Alfani Sport Coat – Tailored Versatility for the Modern Wardrobe
Our Alfani sport coat brings refined tailoring to every occasion without the fuss of dry cleaning. Built from a performance-stretch wool blend, this jacket moves with you through long meetings, commutes, and evening plans. We engineered the two-button silhouette with a notch lapel and side vents that keep the profile modern and comfortable.
We source a proprietary wool-polyester-spandex blend that delivers the drape and texture of traditional suiting with the resilience of activewear. The 4% elastane content allows the jacket to stretch across the shoulders and through the sleeves, so reaching for a high shelf or sliding into a car seat never pulls at the seams.
Fit options & tailored details
Alfani offers three distinct fits to match your build and style preference. The Regular fit sits slightly away from the body with a traditional chest and waist taper — ideal if you prefer classic proportions or need room through the midsection. Our Slim fit follows closer to the torso with a narrower lapel and higher armholes, creating a contemporary silhouette that pairs well with tapered trousers.
The Athletic fit accommodates broader shoulders and a fuller chest while maintaining a trim waist, eliminating the need for alterations if you work out regularly. Every fit includes working buttonholes on the cuffs, a detail typically reserved for custom tailoring, so you can roll the sleeves for a relaxed Friday look. Side vents prevent the back from bunching when you sit, and the interior chest pocket is sized to hold a passport or phone.
Machine-washable care instructions
Turn the sport coat inside out and fasten all buttons before washing. Use a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric during the wash cycle, and select cold water with a gentle detergent — avoid bleach or fabric softener, which can degrade the stretch fibers. Tumble dry on low heat for no more than fifteen minutes, then remove promptly and hang on a wooden or padded hanger.
The jacket will air-dry to its final shape within an hour. If you prefer to skip the dryer entirely, hang the damp coat in a well-ventilated space and let it dry overnight. Steam any remaining creases with a handheld steamer held six inches from the fabric — never press the iron directly onto the lapel or sleeve, as high heat can flatten the wool nap and leave a shine.

Common questions about your Alfani sport coat
Yes, the sport coat is designed for home machine washing. Turn it inside out, fasten all buttons, and place it in a mesh laundry bag. Wash on cold with gentle detergent, then tumble dry on low for fifteen minutes or hang to air-dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, which can damage the stretch fibers.
The sport coat uses the same sizing and fit profiles as our suit jackets — Regular, Slim, and Athletic. If you own an Alfani suit jacket in size 40R, the sport coat in 40R will match those measurements. The shoulder width, chest, and sleeve length are identical across our tailored separates line.
The jacket is made from a performance blend of 60% wool, 36% polyester, and 4% elastane. This combination delivers the drape and texture of traditional wool suiting with the stretch and wrinkle resistance of modern technical fabrics. The lining is 100% polyester with a moisture-wicking finish.
Absolutely. Pair the sport coat with dark-wash jeans and a crewneck sweater or button-down shirt for smart-casual events. Stick to clean, tailored jeans without distressing or heavy fading, and finish the look with leather shoes or loafers. The jacket’s versatile construction works across dress codes.
Yes, every sport coat includes two spare buttons — one for the front closure and one for the sleeve cuffs — sewn into a small fabric pouch inside the interior pocket. Keep these safe in case you need to replace a lost button during the jacket’s lifetime.
Regular fit offers a traditional silhouette with room through the chest and waist, ideal for most body types or layering over sweaters. Slim fit tapers closer to the torso with higher armholes and narrower lapels for a modern look. Athletic fit accommodates broader shoulders and a fuller chest while maintaining a trim waist, perfect if you work out regularly or prefer extra room in the upper body.
The fabric is pre-shrunk during manufacturing, so you should see minimal to no shrinkage when following the care instructions. Always wash on cold and tumble dry on low heat for no more than fifteen minutes. Air-drying eliminates any risk of heat-related shrinkage and helps the jacket maintain its shape over time.
