I am looking to buy a slim, casual black sportcoat sized 38-40R depending on the make.

We just played this game...

How about you pick another color? There's a lot of great looks from the summer here, and brown will last you through the winter too.

(If you manually change the date in the URL, you'll see about 10 days of photos. Only Tom Ford in black, by the way, but he's frickin Tom Ford.)

Maybe the strongest argument: what tie do you have that's crying out for a black sportscoat?

The black Prada jacket is still available. It may fit you as it's unvented and has a bit of "give" given its material.


Sorry, this looks more like a shirt. I would prefer a 2 button with narrow lapels (peak if possible).

Another dark color might work too, but I dunno, black is kinda standard. And I can AmJack it if need be for the ladies.

I saw a nice-looking one in a shop today but the signs were all in Chinese so I couldn't buy it.

'I AmJacked it for the ladies'.

Quite an epitaph.

Actually, the gray that Dudley is wearing would work really well with jeans too.

Post pictures!

In the meantime, this might work - and it'll be fun for the ladies to touch, which can't hurt.

Definitely most interested in the Dior Homme. These don't look quite slim enough. Those lapels are crazy wide on the Costume National.

Can you post the measurements for the jackets too? Shoulder width, chest at the armpit, length of the jacket would all be useful...
