Big Man sport coat from Schwobilt.
Poplin like material, but instead of cotton, most likely a wool and Dacron Polyester blend. Dark Brown with symmetrical shadow fade plaid pattern in Forest Green and Teal Blue. The close-up images don't do this item justice(much darker and more vibrant in hand)...Dark Brown stitching and Black / Gray marbleized buttons. Trad styling that falls short of textbook Ivy Style. Lapel fold just above top button and the back doesn't have a 'hooked' tail vent or swelled seams.
