Not so far behind is not where you want to be.

Especially not in cases where it's easily avoidable.


You misinterpret my words to make a different point entirely. By 'not so far behind' I mean in relation to the quantities of coloured linings that abound. Given that most people buy RTW few would question the lining in the coat and therefore draw adverse inferences.

This is more or less how I feel. I don't work in an environment where a colored lining would raise any eyebrows (I don't even think they would notice). Frankly, as GBR states, most RTW jackets contain a colored lining already and if the situation arises that someone so conservative as to be offended at a colleague's business suit lining were to need to be in close contact with me? Well I do have 4 others. Again though I really doubt that person exists in my line of work.

I suggest you select a blue on blue paisley lining. Maybe something like this. It is fun but not crazy.
