Re: New Flannel Suit...
Oh, it definitely needs a press. That picture was taken right after it came out of the garment bag from my flight home. I was referring more to the way it feels and drapes.

Re: New Flannel Suit...
Well, wore it again yesterday. Meh.
I need to get a good tailor around here to press it properly for one thing, getting wool/cashmere touched up is beyond my skill set.

^ Interesting stripe, somewhere between pinstripe and chalk stripe. What is it?

What book is it? I'd like to see that with a lighter blue stripe.

Re: New Flannel Suit...
Formby, I feel like the pike telling the professor how to enunciate properly, but there it goes.
The SBPL takes the blue suit and sharpens it, lending the staid blue flannel chalkstripe businessman a dash of roué flair. Pink or lavender stripes for extra seasoning.
The Brown takes the DBPL and dulls it, as if the naval officer awkwardly tried and failed to dress down to mix in order to mix with the plebes.
But feel free to school me.

SF debates 3 pages whether or not it's ok to do SBPL.

Acceptable rebellion? Interesting concept. Kinda like the bad kid in a Disney teen show.

Re: New Flannel Suit...
The two Paul Stuart Catalogs I have seem to offer primarily peak lapel jackets. Mens Wearhouse features them on their commercials too and just about everywhere I look, peak lapels are on all sorts of suits and sports jackets; including cotton ones!
One wonders if this decade wont be known for its peak lapel look on men?
