Best jacket for business attire?

An Argyll jacket in Charcoal is probably the most versitile combination. As much as I love my lovat green tweed jacket, it is not the best for an occasion where the formal Argyll with silver buttons would not be quite appropriate -- and as Panache pointed out, the PC is for evening attire only.

So, to sum up -- a Charcoal Argyll Jacket (with waistcoat).

Cheers,

Todd

My thoughts precisely, although I would add the alternative of a Crail jacket - similar to the Argyll but with slightly less decorative cuffs.

Were I still at work, and had I the opportunities, I would opt most definitely for a TFCK kilted suit, probably in pinstripe -

Ham, that must be the "Kilted CEO" look...I'll have to check out tfck for those...

I'll have to check them out as well. What I'm looking for is the equivalent oc the classic navy blue blazer in a kilt jacket.

Well, they aren't actually kilt jackets (yet), but a search on eBay turned up these coats - a lot of 12 menstweed jackets.

Alas, none will fit me, but possibly one or 2 others could get together and share? At a starting bid of $24.95 for the lot, they would be a bargain, and from what I have read, the tailoring to convert them into a kilt jacket is fairly cheap, and easy to do yourself.
