Hello Gents,

I picked up this Tombolini jacket from my preferred store sale and I'm looking for ideas what to wear it with?

Any opinions and advice welcome!

Thats a pretty versatile pattern - especially being half-lined. You can do dark denim with this jacket for a casual look or a variety of pants, including dark grey, light grey, navy or dark brown. I don't think it will pair well with a light olive/light brown pants - but I think almost everything will look good with it.

Dress it up - by throwing a dark brown pocket square

Dress it down - by wearing faded denim and a black v-neck.

I like the jacket a lot!

Thanks Shpirt! Good advice!

Also glad you picked up on the pants cause I was not 100perc on those hanging there :)

Definitely taking the points on the casual look and your idea of t-shirt/v-neck is a good one and didn't even think about that.

What you think on business use for shirts and ties?

Light blue shirt with a solid color tie would play well. Something earthy - dark brown, or brown/green would be best. But I would generally wear this piece without a tie...

Thanks again. Will flip a coin if I will take this jacket to a business lunch, but probably just gonna wear it casually. I really enjoy the jacket too. Its T300Light material and feels very soft and cashmere like. My favourite Tombolini material though is the Zero Gravity which is amazing.
