If it’s very casual, why are you wearing a blazer? From my experience clients tend to be a little off out if you’re the only one walking around in a blazer. Could come off as a little condescending.
That’s not very casual, that’s business casual. Suit up son.
Thanks for the input, A2 & kpmg1. You've convinced me to pull the trigger on that patch pocket number.
I’ve always used the “+1 Rule:” show up a little more formally dressed than the client, but don’t overdo it: if the client is wearing khakis and buttoned downs, a blazer may be fine, but if they’re wearing cargo shirts and graphic tees, you’re going to look overdressed and potentially clueless.
Really depends on the specific tribal style norms.
Alternatively, you can go the other way, but it’s much riskier

So when I say casual I mean everyone wears chinos and a blazer. Any recommendations you guys might have?
I've been considering that Suit Supply Havana (in a different fabric) that @kpmg1 linked. Does anyone else think the patch pockets are too casual, or am I overthinking it?
I like patch pockets on a blazer. Flap pockets would make me paranoid that I look like I'm wearing half a suit.
I do patch pockets on even my business suits. Even though they’re the most casual, they’re also the most versatile and make for great separates.
Where does a blazer fit in a very casual dress code? You want to dress 1 notch up, but blazer seems several.
