RMCH 2012 suit suggestions

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Rather unexpectedly, I also won the auction for a Tiberias suit during Styleforum's Ronald McDonald House Charities auctions. I'm wondering what to get.

Nothing flash really although this will be my first 'made for me' suit - still haven't managed to get to Peter Lee for my blue linen DB. However since, I've already bought the linen fabric for that project from the Quality Seller, I've got another suit to think about. I'm leaning towards a three piece DB in grey, probably flannel. Probably something like this Saint Andrews suit that I got gazumped on last year:



Maybe go for patch pockets instead. Maybe a 2x1 like a favourite Kilgour suit would look less RTW.

Suggestions welcome. I'm not a bigtimer - just an average job but I like to wear suits to work.

The best advice I can give has already been said.

But lately that is the way I like everything.

i'd like to see how this thread shapes up.

Thanks, I have no problem with a 6x2. The other fabric I've been thinking about is a dark blue plaid similar to a Norton and Sons suit that I once had.

So the DB 6x2 above, three piece in this 340g VBC?

Any specific grey flannel recommendations please? I prefer hardwearing to super light/ soft fabric.
