Question about linen sports coat

[pnag]

Hello All,

This is my first post on this website, so apologies if this question isnt appropriately categorized.

I am considering buying this linen sports coat, but am trying to understand two things:
1. It seems to be fairly expensive even after discount - thoughts?
2. Any general feedback comments on the piece in question?

Thank you

Welcome to the forum. Generally, links that redirect off site are not welcomed, though. One never knows where they'll lead.

About the jacket. Only you can decide if the jacket is expensive, for you. Without being able to judge the quality or weight of the linen, it is even more difficult. I would never buy anything from Hugo Boss, but you are probably paying a small premium for the brand name. Other than that, it seems like a reasonable linen coat. It looks short on the model, but if that's what you like it's not an issue.

Thank you Andy. Appreciate the feedback. It leads to another question though - why would you never buy a Hugo Boss? is there an existing thread I can read up if this has already been explained?

Personal issue. I don't care for the history of the company. Plus, I don't particularly care for their design aesthetic.

I would concur with A57 although I would go further when considering HugoBoss. An expensive label with a poor quality garment attached would sum up my charity towards the brand.

Thank you. Which brand(s) would you suggest I look into for something similar to the sports coat I originally asked about?

Without knowing where you are are or anything else about you, really, take a look at Suit Supply, Kent Wang, No Man Walks Alone, among others that are well regarded here.

Take a look at this in linen.

I own a similar one but with besom pockets.
It is unstructured with a very Neapolitan cut.

For something in cotton in the same cut that is
identical to my jacket this is from a fellow Style Forum'
