80% of the people will not be wearing black and white. Unless things have changed DRASTICALLY since I was in college, 99% of the guys are thinking just like you. They already have a crappy suit from Express or Macy's; they'd rather not...

As unbelragazzo said, 50/50 will crease less. I would add that if the Sartoria Partenopea coat has a bold pattern, that could help visually to mitigate the appearance of the wrinkles. I have a glen plaid 100% linen sportcoat, and,...
