Looking back over the entire thread, I'm struck by the fact that about half the respondents got my message clearly, and made suggestions that were helpful. The other half were of the "every man needs a dark suit for formal occasions such as funerals" ilk. That's not what I was asking for, and I believe I was pretty clear about that. What got us into the weeds was my insistence on trying to convince those of you insisting I buy a dark suit that there are other options these days, yes, even for funerals. But that had nothing to do with what I'm still looking for in the way of a sport coat.
I apologize for pushing back so hard, and in the end getting us to this place where several of us feel pissed off and disrespected. That was definitely not my intent. I hope you'll all accept my apology.
I also need to thank all of the respondents who've continued to make suggestions that address the original question. I appreciate all of them. I'm sure I'll find something eventually. It might even be navy!
