Would you wear it? The Linen Tartan Sportcoat

Brooks Brothers Fitzgerald Fit Tartan Sport Coat – $398.00

First of all, yes $400 is way too expensive.  But maybe it’ll go on sale, and you could drop some kind of promo code in there to double up on savings.

And second… is it fair to call this the summer version of the J. Crew Blackwatch Sportcoat?

The Brooks Brothers Fitzgerald Fit is a slim one, with more natural shoulders and a narrower lapel.  It’s made of “pure Irish linen” and also half canvassed, which is something for a linen sport coat.

Sure it’s loud, but it’s not THIS loud.  (God my eyes.  They burn.)

Does it stand out just enough?  Or is it too over the top?  And if you would wear it, at what price would you invest at if you had the cash to spend?  $200?  Would it have to go lower than half price?  Leave it all in the comments below…

Button your blazer when standing, and make sure your sleeves could show a little shirt cuff.
