Men's Blue jackets

Blue jackets from Basics are built for the Indian working man—versatile enough for office settings, casual enough for weekends, and practical through most of the year. Our core range uses a 280 GSM cotton-polyester blend with a tight plain weave that resists wrinkles and holds its shape after repeated washing, which matters if you're wearing the same jacket multiple times a week. Style-wise, blue works as a neutral layer between formal trousers and casual jeans; it pairs without fuss and reads professional without announcing itself. The seasonal window for a jacket in most Indian metros is October through February, though higher altitudes and hill stations extend this considerably. One thing to know upfront: our fits run true to label size, but if you layer frequently or prefer room across the shoulders, size up. Machine wash at 30°C and lay flat to dry—avoid hangers for extended periods, as the blend can develop creases that take time to release.

Frequently Asked Questions about Jackets

How does a blue jacket differ from black or grey for daily wear?
Blue is less formal than black and warmer in tone than grey, making it easier to pair with both office wear and casual outfits. It works better under fluorescent lighting and doesn't show dust as quickly as black. For Indian work environments, blue reads approachable without looking underdressed. It's also more forgiving with lighter trousers—navy or royal blue sits comfortably with khaki or beige in ways pure black sometimes doesn't.
What's the actual weight difference between your blue jackets and lighter overshirts?
Our blue jackets weigh around 420–450g and are cut with structured shoulders and a defined collar. Overshirts typically run 280–320g and drape more loosely. If you need warmth for air-conditioned offices or early-morning commutes, the jacket's heft matters. If you're layering in warmer weather or need flexibility to sling over your shoulder, an overshirt is more practical. Check the product specs for exact GSM.
Do blue jackets fade or require special washing?
Our 280 GSM blend holds colour well through standard washing at 30°C. Fade risk is low for the first 15–20 washes. Wash separately or with similar colours the first two times. Avoid high heat and direct sunlight when drying; lay flat instead. Iron on low if needed. The tight weave resists pilling, so durability is good provided you don't tumble-dry on high heat.
Should I size up if I'm between sizes or want to layer underneath?
Our blue jackets fit true to size across the chest and shoulders. If you're a regular 40 but layer with a thermal or sweater underneath, move to 42—this gives room without looking oversized. Check the arm length separately; it's cut proportional, so if you have longer arms, you may need the next size up overall. The shoulder seam should sit at your natural shoulder point, not extend beyond it.
