Wow, I really like that. I should really focus on more solid jackets this year.


I used to never understand why people bought solid jackets and now I get it. I have a medium green herringbone and medium tan blazer suit on order.

I certainly saw a place for them, but focusing on a pseudo trad/ivy look for so many years I went for patterned jackets more often than not. I'll tell you what I kinda really want, though. A solid mid-weight brown jacket like the one @Murlsquirl has. Perhaps a lighter than navy solid like you are wearing too, but later.

I agree was reaching for patterns before solids. I think I was talking to Stevent about this with shoes. I always opted for unique pieces and now I'm cringing spending money on pieced I should have bought when I started dressing for work. I guess better late than never.

I do want a sort of rust/burgundy sport coat for fall though.

Rust/burgundy... Hmmm, I might have to consider that in lieu of brown.


I wouldn't say in lieu of brown. I have a brown already but want something different to throw in the mix. You probably would get more wear out of brown than rust

You certainly have the wardrobe for that - just bring your photography up to par to do it justice.

You rang.....I love my tobacco fresco jacket, but something like this would be more versatile.
