Dr Samuel Johnson wore brown coats a lot but, despite that, I am not that keen on brown, except as a tweed. I nearly said "or linen" but linen I like as unbleached duck; leave the coloured linen for the entrepreneurial, internet ponces to coo over everything from Havana to pooh brown and show off their creases. Brown worsted is a kind of nothing and nowhere - even nobody - suiting.

Oi! Oi! You've edited to include a corn and beige suiting which ain't harf bad. Pooh-brown, though, is redolent of old Crompie; especially paired up with grey flannel  trews and a blue shirt and tie -bugger me, what an abortion of taste!!
