I am looking for a navy sport coat that is a good value for under $500.This Southwick looks nice. However, I believe the 120's fabric will give it a smooth hand, making it look more like an orphaned suit jacket rather than an odd jacket:

I have read a few different things about Gieves & Hawkes, and from what I understand, it seems their RTW consists of mostly fused items that are not of good quality. Also, the hand of the jacket does not seem to have the texture of a sport coat that would distinguish it from a suit jacket:

If the gold buttons are replaced with horn, do either of these jackets have the appropriate texture to be distinguished from a suit jacket? Are both of these items about the same as far as quality of construction and fabric goes? Are both of these jackets fused? If these choices do not pose a good value in the $500 range, please share any suggestions you may have on what to look for in a navy sport coat.
