Blazer


Blazer.

Esistono due diverse teorie che raccontano l'origine del blazer.

La prima, adatta ai romantici sognatori, racconta che verso la metà del 1800 il generale britannico H.M.S. Blazer si stancò del modo di vestire del proprio equipaggio e ordinò di cucire una giacca a righe bianche e blu, a cui vennero applicati dei bottoni con lo stemma della marina reale.
La giacca piacque molto alla regina Vittoria e diventò così la divisa di ogni equipaggio.

La seconda teoria, adatta ai fashionisti pragmatici, si rifà alla derivazione etimologica dal verbo to blaze, ("brillare") poichè originariamente la giacca era realizzata con tessuti brillanti.

Io appoggio i romantici sognatori.

There are two different theories that tell the origin of the blazer.

The first, suitable for romantic dreamers, says that in mid-1800 the British General H.M.S. Blazer got tired of the way that dress 
his crew and ordered  to sew a jacket in blue and white stripes, which were applied to the buttons with the crest of the Royal Navy.
The jacket was very pleased to Queen Victoria and thus became the uniform of every crew.

The second theory, suitable for 
pragmatic fashionistas , refers to the etymological derivation from the verb to blaze, because the jacket was originally made ​​with bright fabrics.

I support the romantic dreamers.
