Options for either a nice chore coat or something to spice up the wardrobe.
Hey guys, I want to add one new casual jacket to the wardrobe and I'm looking for either a decent basic chore jacket in olive or a jacket with an interesting design like patchwork or aztec or something. I'm trying to stay aware from a majority blue piece on the latter since I have enough of that in my closet and preferably under $100. Here are the pieces I was consider for both.
Chore jacket: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256099373055 or https://ascolour.com/mens-chore-jacket-5522/ as an example
Interesting jacket: https://www.wrangler.com/shop/mens-wrangler-sherpa-lined-jacquard-print-jacket-in-olive-112335735.html or https://www.ebay.com/itm/394262183618 in asphalt grey or antelope tan is cool but a bit much

Definitely a fan of the first, also found this one. Looks like the same but maybe a little less thick and one less pocket? https://www.blacksmith-store.com/collections/outerwear/products/service-works-trade-jacket-olive
How's the fit on these? From my limited understanding of measurements/sizing these seem a bit on the large size. In most brands clothes tend to fit me well in a Small after shrinking them down a little in the dryer but I'm unsure if that's recommended with these.

I'm seeing this spier & mackay linen coat, but I don't really have much experience with anything with linen this thick. I was considering choosing to layer a hoodie underneath this for layers if I wanted, can you do that with pieces like this? https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/army-linen---chore-coat---js-3254-ar-chr

I have a linen jacket from them, which I assume is about the same thickness. I don't think I would layer a hoodie underneath it because it would look odd to me -- linen is the cooler fabric; if I was cold I'd prefer to go for cotton or wool. But like, can you? Sure, especially if it's thin, it would probably work fine? Never crossed my mind to try... hmmmm
It depends on how big you are—if you're a small guy, then the service works stuff is probably slightly oversized. If you're not super lanky, they fit pretty regular
