Sport coat or trench coat?

[Preparatory]

Which one is the most versatile to use as outerwear before the winter make a visit?

Is it raining?

Oh and you should be wearing a jacket under your trench

It's pretty rainy yeah. Can't decide on what I should get, I already have a wool peacoat for the winter. What I need is something I can wear between summer and winter. It has to be something between formal and casual and it has to cost a maximum of $600. I'm thinking a tweed sport coat in navy! ...or the beige or navy trench.

They're not really interchangable. Sportcoats you can wear generally, Trench coats are rain outerwear.

Okay, then give me some advice on a qualitative sport coat in navy in either wool and/or tweed?

That coat is nice I really like it. Where did you find it? I like a trench coat for rain and for cooler weather I like a wool blazer like you have shown.

Isn't that a bit overpriced?

I don't now anything about their sport coats? Does the quality stand out compared to their other stuff?

Its great quality wise, reliable and all done domestically, nothing synthetic ever etc..

Ivy league-ers are the frequent shoppers from there, and hence usually have the $$ to overpay.

I would look elsewhere, no reason to blow your budget on one coat.

Alright, thanks for the input!

I also looked at Norman Hilton, but they haven't released the F/W-collection yet. Around $600.
