I think they would work fine with a tweed sportcoat and flannel trousers. As long as the entire outfit is more casual and not businessy.

Do you think this shoe could work as tough weather (rain/slush/snow) business casual (=flannels+sports jacket+shirt+tie)?Originally posted by theplayerking View PostSuede and tough weather are not a great combination.

and love them.

OK, that might not be the absolute best advice, but honestly suede isn't all that bad to maintain. Spray it down with waterproofing spray once in a while, and maintain with a suede eraser and suede brush. I think it's a misconception that it's fragile, for some reason. Heck, it's the hide of an animal. It's not going to melt when it gets wet!

My original question had mostly to do with the looks. Do you think the above, or the one posted here, would work with sports coat/trousers/tie/shirt?

Does anyone who has a Schott 740 peacoat know if there is enough material at the cuff to lengthen the sleeves? I would need about an inch.

Originally posted by zerostyle View PostCan anyone recommend a winter jacket that meets this criteria?
Not a peacoat (already have one) - want an option I don't have to wear with a scarf
Suitable for wearing to both a workplace but also bars/restaurants at night (not some crazy ugly puffer jacket)
Under $200
Warm enough to wear down to 10-30F or so.

Look at Spier and Mackay’s hopsack sportcoat. The navy option sold out in a heartbeat while the charcoal option is still hanging around. Every time I see someone in a charcoal sportcoat, I look for signs that it’s a orphaned suit jacket..... like pick stiching on the lapel (pardon the slight snobbery there).
