hello. i've been reading the site for months, but never really felt compelled to participate in discussion - until now! i've got a bit of a wardrobe conundrum. i have a camel peacoat in the sort of camel you see in essentially all cashmere coats (it's not cashmere). it's that sort of vibrant, deep beige hue. that said, i've had a hell of a time locating this same color, or even anything similar, in a v-neck or a sport coat, so that i can still have it as a wardrobe option even without a heavy winter coat. i have a merona blazer that gets a lot of love around here in both colors, but find the khaki a little too... bland. it's that normal boring khaki color that all generic khakis are. what i really love about my coat is how much more stand-out it is, while still being fairly subdued.
does anyone have any advice about where to find a sport coat or sweater in a deep camel/cashmere overcoat kinda color? i watch ebay like a hawk, and have searched all the conventional retail/online outlets, with little luck. the only option i have at the moment is h&m, as they seem to love making mens' clothing in that almost-orange camel color, but a) their sizing can be a little odd, b) their quality is questionable, and c) i try to avoid pieces that are too recognizably from a certain shop, especially one so prone to transient trendiness (see also: express).
thanks!
