I own this (in cotton/linen rather than cotton/spandex) and frequently wear it as a sports coat in the summer. The fabric prevents it from looking too much like a mismatched suit jacket.

How does it look in person? I had a cotton one that i outgrew in mid blue that i loved. But, ive also seen some of their cotton blends look quite cheap.

Do you think if im wearing an overcoat, i could also still pull this off during cooler temperatures? I live in chicago and we have like 3 month summers

I think it looks good (or I wouldn't wear it, haha) - the fact that it's linen blend means that the slight rumpling looks good rather than bad (and makes it work a little better as a sports coat).

Not sure about overcoat; I've never owned one. It's a pretty good deal as a summer suit for around $200 though, even if you aren't wearing it as a sports coat.

looks okay from here. pockets cause it to be a little more formal than patch pockets would, but that's the only observation I have. Lapels seem fine to me.

In the listing are there any close ups. From a distance it looks like it was worn a lot so you wouldn't want bald spots or anything of that nature.

Hmmm...the only part that bothers me is the right area under the pocket flap. It looks like it is balding. Otherwise, if it fits it could be worth it. Most camel sport coats are flap pockets. I have always wanted one but don't know how I would wear it.

This might be too pricey at $260 on sale, but for a Made in USA sport coat, it’s a steal!! If nothing else, the pic can give you style inspiration:
