I posted earlier that I prefer suits to sportcoats for work, and haven't used a sportcoat for business casual wear for multiple reasons (almost all of them because I'm a sheep.). Â So, I'm trying to ease into sportcoat use and wanted to get a good one for cheap before I bought something "expensive." Â So, here's my latest Ebay purchase. Â I won't receive it for another two weeks probably, but let me know what you think. The measurements are just spot on perfect (with a little shorter coat than I wear in suits, which should work well for a sportcoat). here

Mack, I'll let you know if I don't end up keeping it -- and I'll be honest re: condition, quality, etc.

I was thinking along the same lines as LA Guy that it would be cool to wear with jeans or something like that, or maybe something to wear to the office more as "outwear" on days when an overcoat isn't necessary, or using it in the same way for weekend or evening use. I like to have some sort of covering over me at bars, etc., especially when you must walk there, but am often annoyed at an overcoat or car coat. I thought this might be an elegant/original alternative, especially since the shoulders are supposed to be AS like.
