Three midweight, one summerweight.

Already have:
French blue Lesser tropical suit

Mid-weight mid gray, charcoal and navy PoW 3-piece suits
Two flannel suits, blue/gray spot effect and brown PoW
Dinner wear

Two tweed sport coats (stone Donegal, LL blue/brown windowpane)
Fawn houndstooth sport coat
Tan DB Fresco odd coat

On the way this year:
Blue herringbone sport coat
Charcoal SBPL suit with extra stroller trousers
LL RAF blue PoW suit, possibly DB
Olive check summer sports coat
Fox flannel RAF blue windowpane blazersuit.

I've held to solids on the the bespoke items so far and will add some patterns once I feel like I've got a good base to work with.

I do like the idea of having a stroller at some point. Are you going to wear the stroller during the work week or just for weddings, Easter and such?

Most of my suits are solid (or with a solid pattern, such as herringbone). I've never left love for striped suits, with the exception of flannel.

I'll be wearing the stroller for my upcoming wedding, and probably for similar ceremonies in the future. Not a big churchgoer, though.
