OK I get that pinstripes are only for suits, not sport coats.
But windowpane patterns: I've seen them for both. What's the deal? Are some windowpanes better for SC and others better for suits? I'm asking because for my second MTM garment I want a windowpane, but I have more suits than sports coats... But I feel like the most memorable windowpane outfits involved suits.
To be clear, I'm talking about a basic windowpane, like this one here, though not necessarily in the same color (I'm thinking charcoal or navy with a muted windowpane.)
As for how I'll use it, I work in an academic medical practice. As long as I wear slacks and a tie, they could care less what I wear one way or another! So I can wear what I want. Therefore this doesn't have to be a business outfit per se, and in fact I'd probably prefer something I could wear socially as well. My style is somewhat conservative, I shy away fro loud plaid sports coats and the like. That's why I want to experiment with a windowpane.
As always, thanks for sharing knowledge.
