Hey everybody, got a dilema. Looking to add another sport coat to my closet.

Here's the rundown of what I have:

- Navy mini pinstripe suit
- Navy sharkskin suit
- Charcoal suit
- Black suit
- Med Gray suit
- Tan poplin cotton suit

- Navy Linen sport coat
- Light Blue Chambray Cotton sport coat
- Gray Herringbone sport coat (black tones)
- Brown with Blue windowpane sport coat

These are the too I'm looking at. If you could pick one which would you pick? and what color pants would you wear? I wear trimmer/slim fit style suits/pants/jackets and have struggled to find some good flannel options.

Neither look good but as you will be wearing them, opinions here are irrelevant.

Personally would go with the 2nd sportcoat. Could pair it with grey trousers

There are actually three I found:

1. Burgundy Plaid
2. Olive (looks like a subtle windowpane pattern)
3. Gray Plaid.
