John Varvatos Star USA Donegal Tweed Sport Coat (For Men)

A nice lightweight jacket; goes great with blue flannel trousers!

I ordered the Donegal tweed in black/taupe, size 36R. It looks extremely sharp, fits exactly, and seems very well made. The sleeves were plenty long, easily taken in by my tailor, who called it "black and white." I call it dark gray tweed. It's a very good looking piece of clothing, goes well with a decent pair of dress pants, and probably will work with a pair of jeans. I was sufficiently impressed that I ordered another Varvatos in a different color & fabric. I think it's possibly my nicest jacket, and certainly was a bargain.

Extremely Well made sport coat. I got it for [$] with discounts, which was an absolute steal.

Got the donegal in dark brown, 42R, my usual size (I'm 6-2, 190lbs). The shoulders were too wide and bulky (trending towards "m.c. hammer time" from the 1980's!). I have pretty wide shoulders, so that was surprising. Also this is really not a slim fit suit. Plenty of room and would have required significant tailoring, which would have added a lot to the cost of the jacket. So back to STP it went. The suit is made in mexico; it is fused, not canvassed (no surprise there at this price point). I thought the fabric seemed high quality although not really a donegal in my book (no variation in thread color). So a decent quality suit, but more of a classic, rather than modern cut.
