I have to dress in suit type apparel (shirt tie dress pants etc) and it's supposed to rain tomorrow and be kind of cold so I have the current dilemma. Suit coat or fleece? The fleece is a gray zip up coat type but is fabric the suit coat I ASSUME will be warm... (ive never warn it before) but im not sure how good they do in the rain. Any suggestions?

EDIT:

The fleece looks exactly like this:

I guess wearing a raincoat is out of the question?

Check to see if your suit coat it water-resistant. Wearing a fleece jacket with a suit would make you look like you're in Michigan.

Oh, wait...

A wise man told me to always wear my raincoat.

A wiser man once told me to come in out of the rain.
