Cole Phelps Ad Vice Suit, LA Noire

[jpr133]

I used the search function here and have been googling to try to solve this, so apologies if there is a thread that explains it and I didn't find it. In the game LA Noire Phelps wears a variety of different suits. When he is in Ad Vice he has a suit that is blue but has grey "shoulder pads". I have searched for 40s two-tone suits, but I can't find any pics that look like his suit. Does it have a specific name?

Thanks in advance,
Jason

If you mean this one:

or this one

I believe the name is a Hollywood jacket

Cobden, I believe both of those suits to be from DLC (I know for sure that the first is).

Jason, this is the suit you acquire upon being promoted to Vice, the Sunset Strip:

It is indeed a Hollywood jacket with, I might add, a rather spiffing tie.

The first two suits are great, but the third is what I was thinking of. So that's a "Hollywood Suit"? I though the game called it that but I didn't know it was a term in the real world.

I managed to find a bunch of Hollywood Jackets online. Great stuff. Question, are these jackets outerwear or does it take the place of the blazer?

If I understand correctly, they were used as sportcoats or casual jackets. I've never owned one, but I really liked the look. Hope you can get one you really like!

There is a "Hollywood Jacket" thread in the general attire area.

...or maybe outerwear area.
