In retrospect I think this is a fail, for lack of contrast between jacket and trousers. What do you guys think? Trousers are gray flannel, jacket is a green donegal-type weave. The jacket's color is a little deeper IRL, but I still think it needs more contrast.

The texttures are so different, that I think it's not a problem that the colors are somewhat similar, at least in dark lighting.

I like it and I think the colours work great together. I would however let out the waist of this jacket, it looks tight and creates a slight hourglass shape.

But it doesn't create an hourglass shape since the hips are cut narrower than the chest. This is more of a Y shape which is close to ideal.

There's an old-school Burberrys overcoat at a local consignment shop that it pains me to pass up. Navy, full-length, and warm. Too much coat for San Francisco. I've almost purchased it a couple of times just to have it hang in my closet.

Great outfit, Butler.

Quick Question: what fabric book did you find that 18oz cream flannel in, please?

I was browsing through quite a few bunches last week looking for something very similar and couldn't find one.
