Linen, linen and a double breasted hopsack. Got two pairs of trousers in the works too. Drapers 4 ply and cream cotton/linen. Didn't get a picture of the cream pair.

Be really curious to see the completed suit. Obviously it's not going conservative business dress in terms of formality, but I half suspect it might not look nearly as bold as the shade may initially seem.

Good choices all around.

Edit: I swear to goodness #CB(D) changed to conservative business dress, and that made me cackle!

Not a fan. It could have a place, no doubt, but it's 100% not me.

I also have zero interest in the styling (triple patches on a DB is a no no no for me), but the cloth itself is great and would highly advocate a suit in it...should have one coming in the next week or so in a different shade

My two cents.Not for me. Nice cut, though I never wear DBs.
Color: beyond the pale. Too much like a lime sorbet.

Curious and trying to learn - how would you adjust the styling? Flapped pockets? Welted? Double vented?
