Re: Flannel cloth feedback
I would get the jacket in a single-breasted, true 3 button with a center vent and two non-working buttons on each sleeve cuff. Just to fuck with people.
Natural shoulder, of course.

Is that the LL cloth club? I think that it is really a disappointment. I was hoping for something better out of those cats.

Re: Flannel cloth feedback
Keep it simple. Check out the great flannel suit Fred Astaire wears in Dancing Lady, his first film, although the suit is the high-point of the film.

I like the cloth for a sportcoat but I don't think that I could swing a suit.

I like it --- but I thought the original AA illustration that inspired it had a touch or two more blue. Or is it my monitor?

Re: Flannel cloth feedback
Marc, I really like that cloth you posted. Is it a J&J Minnis/John G. Hardy?

Re: Flannel cloth feedback
That is very nice material. For myself, I would use that cloth for an odd jacket and an odd waistcoat.
If you are going for the suit, I say get the waistcoat, since you can use it as an odd vest if you decide you don't like the 3pc look in that fabric.

Re: Flannel cloth feedback
Cruz,
We need a better shot of a larger piece of the fabric please. perhaps you can unfurl it a bit when you get some time?
What is it you would like to use the suit or jacket for? WHo's your imagined audience?
I dunno about old boy hip or even old boy. I think this is one of those cloths that's either going to be fogey-hip in a neo edwardian manner or very hip.

I feel, and this is not directed at any individual, that 3 patch pockets have become the new cliche for "My jacket's bespoke," not unlike ticket pockets or working sleeve buttons many years ago.
