Blazer jacket:
P: looks more elegant, plenty of inner pockets.
C: might be uncomfortable to wear onboard.

Bomber jacket:
P: comfortable to wear onboard, more suitable when just strolling/shopping.
C: less formal and might look too "sporty", might have less inner storage pockets.

So the dillema here is between looking dapper or wearing a more "functional" jacket.

Would appreciate suggestions which one to go with, based on experience.

Cheers
Q) What shoes should I wear? These black oxfords, or these Nike sneakers?

A) The difference is whether I'm playing basketball or walking into a corporate board meeting.

Asking a bunch of strangers what jacket to wear is going to produce similar results to asking "How big is a ball of string?"
