Picked up a Tan Camel Hair Sports Coat over the winter and now is the time I can finally wear it.

What would you think goes with it? Today I wore it with dark brown pants and a white shirt with some brown/red in it.

I'm guessing I could also pair it with navy/grey pants? I'm really unclear what color shirts would be appropriate with a tan camel hair and navy/grey pants combination?

Any thoughts?

What is the season for camel hair? When should I take it out and when should I put it away?

just IMO..

camel hair = beige which is an earth tone; grey is, IMO, a metallic. The two don't go well together. Beige + navy or other earth tones is better.

I wear my camel hair in fall and winter and the cooler days of early spring.

So you'd wear Navy pants w/ Beige Camel Hair Sportscoat and a blue shirt? I personally think the Beige Camel Hair Sportscoat goes best with Black, Navy, Dark Brown pants ... couple with light blue, whites ... and is that it? I guess most of my shirts are white and blue anyway

^ what he said. I find that camel hair is rather warm and I just stored mine until fall rolls around.
