I found this John Varvatos wool sports jacket, unstructured, decent fit, machine washable. The back collar creeps up the back of my neck slightly, and the sleeves are about an inch too long. It is a bluish silver-gray known as "Concrete Heather":

The front chest area, under my arm is kind of full. I am 5'8 155 lbs. The tailor said he could tighten it up, but is limited because it is unstructured.
I am wondering if such jackets have much utility, or should I save my bucks for something more traditional from Zegna or Theory.
Do these types of non-traditional, casual jackets get a lot of use, or should I stick with something staid and traditional?
The color (silverish blue gray) is kind of unusual, and flashy. Not your normal run-of-the mill black, navy or medium gray.
I should mention that my personal style is slim cut, colorful, nontraditional.
Should I buy it for $300?
