I like the jacket - it's elegant and the colors would work well on anyone

it's timeless

much less so the other one

if it were mine, I'd swap out the tie for a forest green cashmere one and the pocket square would be simply your other Charvet, the cream one. Simple, elegant, perfect

1. DeBoise DB Golden Bale 11oz worsted flannel suit jacket in process that will have swappable buttons so that I can wear it as an odd jacket or blazer:



2. MBT SB odd jacket in Martin & Sons 6 ply 16oz hopsack



3. MBT SB odd jacket in 14oz Minnis fresco



4. MBT SB odd jacket in Woodhouse 9oz mohair fresco



5. Borrelli SB odd jacket in 10oz linen



6. Borrelli SB odd jacket in cotton



7. Engineered Garments SB deconstructed odd jacket in wool twill



8. DeBoise SB 16oz flannel (forget the mill) odd jacket



10. DeBoise SB Holland & Sherry 14oz fresco suit jacket with swappable buttons



I also have a DB camel hair Black Fleece number.

So, that makes eleven solid dark blue jackets in rotation in various seasonal fabrics, and done up with various button stances, out pockets, and buttons.

Solid dark blue or navy jackets are a necessity, and while eleven might be much for someone with a normal wardrobe, I would hope that every man could manage at least two: one for the summer, and one for the rest of the year.

Seriously, having no simple sportcoats would strike me as unreasonable, and having only simple sportcoats would strike me as tending towards inelegance. None of foo's sportcoats are out there, or bizarre. Certainly none of them are as loud as what I might wear, and I don't believe I have offended anybody by showing up at their office, or shocked anybody with boldness while walking down the street.
