Thanks for the info. I had a suit jacket I had planned to wear with jeans and after trying everything on, I felt it didn’t look appropriate. Your video confirmed this to be true.

Nice and succinct explanations Brian! IIRC in Korea, most of the sales reps I ran in to used the term "jacket" and "blazer" for non-suit jackets interchangeably, with no problems to be had. Though knowing the differences and using the terms more correctly does help with recognizing who's interested in men's wear. Unrelated, those thighs on those men at 1:53 are quite impressive! - Han
