Sport coat with plaid flannel shirt?

I'm looking to get my first sport coat, and have been thinking about what color and fabric to get. I tend to wear flannel shirts in a tartan or checked pattern at least once or twice a week during the fall and winter, so I was wondering if there is a sport coat out there that could go with that? Is such a thing even possible? I read somewhere that plaid flannels could work with a gray tweed jacket but can't seem to find pics of anyone doing this, which is making me think it's probably not a good idea.
