I really like the navy window pane one, I'm a little hesitant to go entire sut, opinions on a single breasted sports coat in this fabric? Or should one stick to suits for this fabric?

I think it would look awesome in a suit. Do it.


That is not a sportcoating. Get a simple SB suit.


Some inspiration for you:

Anyone have anything made up in any of the LL Fox Flannels?
I am having the navy chalk stripe made up at the moment in a SB three piece by Edwin Deboise. Unfortunately he is in NY next month when I am in London, so I won't have my first fitting until December.

I have seen the Fox windowpane in question, and it is not as bold as the one worn by the guy in the second pic. O/O's suit (first pic) is more like it.

Yes I have it as well, its a very subtle windowpane. You have to be nearly on it to make it out. This is even harder to do on the gray.

I have the Agnelli flannel on order. Looks to be beautiful.

I'm having a new suit made up in this VBC mid-grey flannel.

Likely configuration is soft 3 roll 2, flap pockets, notch lapel, spalla camacia shoulders. . . .


Consider this advice from Manton

For me flannel is best either as 2 piece DB or 3 piece SB. Not a great fan of 2 piece SB though I do have one.
