Outfit ideas for this tweed sport jacket?
Hey! I picked up this dirt cheap jacket second hand but have no idea what might look good with it.
Completely open ended so any advice is welcome! colors, type of garment, etc that you would wear with it.
Pictured is the piece over a T-shirt, so I'll probably fill it out better with a sweater but it's just to give you an idea

Gray herringbone is extremely versatile, will work with lots of outfits
A button down shirt and jeans is a classic combo
That's hot a lovely lapel roll, a rather unique shape to the lapels. Anyways, my question to you is, how formal do you want to be? A grey herringbone tweed jacket can be worn sort of "full country," or quite slouchy, but you can dress it up to be rather formal these days.
Full country: boots (like tanker boots), breeks, turtleneck or other sweater, maybe a scarf. A hunting dog, a shotgun ... :)
Casual citywear: more city-esque boots (chukka, chelsea, etc) or lace-up shoes (think brown bluchers) or a nice pair of taller boots (eg, indy boots in tobacco or snuff); warm pants like wool flannel, tweed, etc; oxford cloth or (solid color, no pattern) cotton flannel shirt, maybe a sweater over it.
Less casual officewear: chukkas, bluchers, other nice shoes that aren't fully formal etc; worsted flannel wool trousers; a finer oxford cloth shirt, tie, pocket square.
Those are just some ideas, not any sort of formula or rule.
Noting these down myself, great suggestions 🙏
I thought this fit from Proper Cloth was interesting with the white chinos

Grey sport coats can be tricky. One misstep and your sport coat can easily look like an orphaned suit jacket...

The Gray Tweed Sport Coat
Gray sport coats are notoriously difficult to wear. In most fabrics, they look too similar to orphaned suit jackets, which...
cant forget this iconic fit
White? Sure, why not? Though they almost look like white or off-white denim from here.
yeah, it's white denim, my bad
hadn't seen that combination before
love love love, thanks all
