Thanks all!
Yuca, looks like a solid 38 and it's a keeper!
Not sure even I could pull that paisley sack off, Tom!
Zach sold a similar batik (I think) not too long that was a real killer.

Craziest thing I've ever sold. Batik print with birds.
Haha I remember that one and I kind of dig it except for the side vents!
This one that you moved recently was my favorite though - https://www.etsy.com/listing/150123383/bold-green-paisley-linen-two-button
I would've jumped all over it in the right size.
Here's another example that Darcy listed over the holidays in a kind of bonkers batik tiki-looking print...

Go bold or go home!
Zach, do you think that Arthur Johnson sack was a custom made piece?
edit: just realized it's a darted cut; still zero cool though!

I find myself drawn to the more sobre batik prints, though I know I'd never have a chance to wear one without feeling totally out of place.
The Paisley and bird prints aren't for me.
I prefer paisley on the INSIDE of my jackets!
I do think that darted moss green number from Arthur Johnson that Zach sold was killer though. I'd definitely take more picnics, maybe even take up lawn bowling as a sport if I owned that!
Haha. Is that what you lot wear for lawn bowling over there?
Over here it's all beige beige beige. Maybe the odd pair of grey loafers.
I imagine lots of seersucker, poplin and silvery-haired old men dressed like Mifune in Stray Dog!

Since woolie snagged that primo cord suit, I've been thinking about putting a bid in on this. What do you guys think?

It's 3 button, but has darts. Looks like soft shoulders. I love the color. Pants look to have a nice taper too.

Beautiful shirt... too bad the back is thrashed and on the verge of coming apart. The seller must be delusional.

As soon as someone attempts to drape that thing over, it'll tear in two. It's not even on seam so it can't be stitched up. I wanted to write the maroon to tell him/her how dumb they are, but unfortunately questions are blocked. Clearly the person lives on another planet.
