I was thinking about this, but making it more like the tweed coat that Paul posted... A shorter sport coat without the cut out.. For a casual look to wear with a button down shirt with no tie.

I think that as long as the jacket doesn't look too traditional (gauntlet cuffs & epaulets are right out) a smooth tweed will look great. I think you will find that with this ensemble you will probably want to wear a belt to help define the look.
