What style is this sport coat from LA Noire?

Is there a name for the type of sport coat that the detective on the right below is wearing? There are a number of similar multi-colored and paneled sport coats that show up in this game. Some look like multi-colored half Norfolks to me but I haven't been able to google any examples.

I believe those are refered to as "liesure" or "loafer" jackets.

Hmm. All the loafer or leisure jackets I've been able to find online are really light weight, unstructured jackets. More like shirt jackets.

The type I'm trying to find is more like a sport coat in construction, but with contrasting sleeves and/or panels. Of course, it's not easy to tell from a game animation what that is.

I've seen the types of sport coats I'm looking for in some old movies from the late 40's and early 50's. They're sort of like western sport coats but not so much scalloped patterns.

They were referred to as leisure coats. Maybe "Hollywood" jackets too?..
Don't expect to find something similar through typical retail outfits.
Hemingway Jones had one made by ReVamp vintage.

I recently lost a great jacket in that exact style on eBay that went for $150+. Green and off-white contrasting lapels, sleeves...ohhh the humanity!

Thanks. The one Matt Deckard showed in that thread is spot on to what I was trying to figure out. It's a lot heavier and more structured than anything else in that thread. All the rest look more like PJs.

Not quite a hollywood jacket....look again! While the guy in the gray two tone is wearing a classic Eton Hall style Hollywood jacket, the guy in he two tone brown is actually wearing a two tone sports coat. I've only seen 1 vintage example (Marc Chevalier had it, and posted a picture of it years ago.

Like this, but without the contrast patch pockets:
