Hi everyone, newbie here.
I am normally the type of guy who buys clothes from Wal-Mart and Target, but I am trying to branch out into nicer clothes. However, I am pretty ignorant about men's clothing, so I came here to learn more.
I am looking to buy a decent, but not super high-end sport coat. I was looking on Jos A. Bank's website, and found this camel-colored sport coat on clearance:
http://www.josbank.com/IWCatProductP...duct_Id=370414
It seems pretty obvious that Bank inflates their prices at least somewhat, so they can put items on "sale" and make it look like you're getting a bargain. But still, the thought of getting a nominally $800 dollar coat for $200 is still appealing. So I have a couple of questions for the more clothing-knowledgeable folks:
1. Is this a good deal? Since I don't really know how to judge suit/sport coat quality, how much is the retail price inflated?
2. What types and colors of shirts and pants would go well with this color coat? Is this coat too "dressy" to wear jeans with?
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
