Maybe what I meant was well tailored vs fit. For fit, I was comparing tailoring vs off the rack.

Yah, I feel like i'm at that point where it's the gut reaction. I don't shop very often, so it's hard to reconcile the smart decision vs impulse.

As a smaller guy, I'm a tailoring enthuasiast as well - I just prefer a great fit, over something I purhase from the rack and having it altered. I almost always have to have my formal wear altered in some way.

Definitely not, I've just been wanting one for a while. I've seen styles over the seasons and they're all nice, but I can't commit.

Thanks for your response - I live in Southern California, so probably leaning towards more of a lighter material, but I can also appreciate a nice tweed sport coat since I do travel to colder climates often. It would be nice to grab a sport coat to go out for a nicer dinner instead of grabbing a casual jacket.
The thing is, I've seen a lot of things I like, but maybe not LOVE enough to make a purchase - In some ways, i'm a "if i see it, I buy it kinda shopper". However, I don't want to regret my purchase, since I won't be wearing it out too often.

Thanks for your response - I added the budget to my response.
I guess, for myself - I'm a smaller guy, I've always considered fit over the price.
However, i don't want to spend a ton of money on something I may wear every so often. I think you're probably right that I need to do a little more research on the channels you recommended.
