My next bespoke coat

[AscotMcPocketsquare]

I had been planning on going with a brown herringbone fabric, but now that it is getting close to spring and I won't really have much use for such a jacket for a number of months I was thinking perhaps I would be better served with something that is a year round style. I don't want to shell out the $ for a summer specific jacket like a lightly colored linen but I was wondering if you have any suggestions for a jacket that could be worn year round so that I can get some use out of it during the impending spring/summer but not have it look out of place in fall/winter. Thanks.

Tan herringbone is classic. Check out this picture of C Grant just posted on the LL:

The photo is at the bottom, post 4, in black and white. My eye says that the jacket is a tan/brown herringbone as opposed to a gray/black but who knows.

There is no such thing as a year-round jacket if you experience any temperature or humidity change. Use bespoke to go for the classics.

Just ask whomever made your previous bespoke coats. They will have some good suggestions.

I agree it's a great look and I still plan on having it made, I just thought perhaps I would wait until the fall. As for year round, I mean a jacket that isn't so heavy that it can't be worn when the temperature crosses 50 degrees and not such a bright color that it looks out place in colder months.

I plan to, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to go in armed with some suggestions and ideas. In all my previous ventures I have had an idea in my head that they have helped me put into garment form. I would feel better if I had a mental picture of what I wanted before I started trying to explain to them.
