Just got a screaming deal on this sport coat. It is a "Chester Barrie" sold by Carrol & Co in Beverly Hills. Bought it on Ebay on impulse. What season is this coat? What would go with it?

I don't really like the fabric but Chester Barrie made top quality garments.

Just sent payment. The measurements looked pretty good for me. My tailor can fix anything that's wrong as long as the shoulders fit. I paid $65 for it.

OP is a lucky bastard. Congratulations!

I'd wear it with khaki chinos and nice brown shoes/belt, but then again I'm a noob to this whole sartorialism lark.

C. B. is an absolutely top-class maker. They have made for RLPL. That was indeed a screaming deal. Original price no doubt north of $2K.
