What to wear with this sport coat?

Bsquared · Nov 22, 2008

I picked this Zegna up for a great price. It seems just a touch too big in the shoulders for me (I'll post photos wearing later) but I might keep it anyway. Now, what trousers/shirt colors and patterns would one where with this? This is where I have a hard time.

Pretty much anything...grays, tans, even the right navy. Great pick up.

Navy is difficult I'd say... but pale grey, mid grey, beige, tan certainly come to mind.

some fit pics. I've got it pinned in back. There's a slight crease in the shoulder/upper arm where the shoulder hangs over. My first try at pics so forgive the quality.

Did your dog pin the jacket for you?

Treat it like a navy solid jacket.

He couldn't figure out what the heck I was up to.

Pair it with either a pink gingham shirt or small checkered one

Actually, checks is the one style that might not go with it. A checkered look might look strange.

That jacket looks terrific!

I fail to see your problems with the fit of this jacket. Treat it like a plain navy blazer, except don't wear checked shirts with it (unless it's a dramatically different scale like a really tiny check)

The fit in the shoulders doesn't show in these pics. But with a little movement there's a noticeable crease below the shoulder seem where the shoulder extends past my shoulder. I returned the coat

. However, I did stop by Saks and found a perfect new Zegna suit for just under $600 (from $2200) and Canali trousers for $100 (from $350). So I don't feel so bad. I really had a hard time returning the coat but I knew I wouldn't be happy with the shoulders.

Good to hear that all was not lost.

A pity though - I was hoping you'd be able to find a 50L.
