I'm thinking of getting a summer sport coat made and am torn between a classic light blue striped seersucker and a beige linen. Some questions if I go with seersucker (and don't live in the South):
1. Can you get a sport coat made with sport coat details (three patch pockets, open quarters), get a matching pair of pants (who knows, maybe I'll actually wear the set to a beach wedding someday), and wear the sport coat and pants as a suit? Or will the jacket look subtly odd since it was made as an odd jacket?
2. My summer jackets have usually been 3 roll 2, quarter lined, with soft shoulders and three patch pockets. Anyone feel they need a break from three patch pockets and would have a welted chest pocket on a seersucker sport coat (and even flap hip pockets)? I remember an old, old thread where Kent Wang settled on a welted chest and patch hip pockets for his jacket.
3. Is a classic light blue striped seersucker difficult to match with any shirt other than white and light pastel colors?
4. Any other details you would pay attention to for a seersucker sport coat?
