Dear All,

I am duly following advice commonly posted here, that the standbye suits should be a navy and charcoal grey. I like the English cut and I am thinking either Tyrwhitt or Lewin at half off as that is my budget (Hardy Amies will have to wait). I have not had much luck with ebay thus I would like to try mail order. For the charcoal suit, which do you recommend: birdseye, poplin, sharkskin, etc.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks

Quaddies

I'm partial to sharkskin for my greys.
