Apparently, wearing a suit jacket with jeans or khakis is super not okay. I'm on the hunt for a very versatile jacket.

I tried on an Armani Collezioni - 34 - and it fits like a dream. The only problem is it is olive green. That could be cool and all but I can't plop down $700 (sale) for olive green.

To compromise, I impulse bought a sz. 34 Thomas Pink jacket:

Now I'm reading that it's made of linen. What are yalls thought on an all linen jacket? Will it wrinkle easily? I'm hoping it isn't the same linen that's on linen beach pants but I have no idea.

So any suggestions on where to get a good sports coat? I'm willing to invest (spend) but I want to have it for a long time and wear it a lot.

From your use of "yall" I am assuming you are a southerner(As am I). In that case, linen is great for summerwear in the south.
