Haha, we really do need a sale thread. Seems like that's mentioned every other day. I have something to sell as well.

Well, if anyone is looking to offload 44 Jacket/38 Trouser products, I'm interested.

Unless the suit or jacket is haunted.

I think the brushed gingham sport shirts are softer than my flannel PJ! Will report back tomorrow morning after I wake up. Fabric is seriously comfortable next to the skin.

Got a black tie gala to attend this weekend. Don't have a tux. Charcoal peak lapel, white french cuff shirt, black grenadine tie, that should do in a pinch yeah?

Another suggestion: find a midnight blue, or burgundy, plain bow tie before then. It should be relatively easy to find, or you can order online somewhere with next day delivery, and will ensure a coherent look that fits in better with the rest of the party, whilst, on sufficiently wide angle and overexposed photos (as wedding photographers like to take) may pass as black tie.

I see two issues with the black grenadine tie. First, the tie-at-a-black tie-event thing is the kind of thing you see people do to draw attention to themselves, to show how subversive they (or their stylists, at the Oscars) are to ignore the dress code. It's tiring, because it has been done and is done so much still today; and because a wedding isn't "the system" and there's little upside to being subversive to your own friend. Second, a grey suit with white shirt and black tie (bow or not) is distinctly funereal, and some within the wedding party may resent what you are implicitly saying about the future of that union

I don't disagree with you, but did @Ezio say it's a wedding?

Haha it's not a wedding. It's an industry awards gala in downtown Vancouver.

 

[am55]

Ah, my bad for speed reading. I think midnight blue is a better idea then. In the dark, looks almost like black tie.

We do black tie around here?

I’d imagine your best Patagonia would probably be sufficient.

Has anyone got the green (or any) of the new cotton sportcoats and/or suits? Would love to see some real life shots

 

[gianm]

Should have jumped on that grey fresco trouser.

Excited for the brown linen suit. I am curious what shoes you guys intend to wear with them. I have never owned a brown suit before and my only oxfords are black. I am considering buying dark brown suede semi brogues to pair with the suit. I could see wearing them with odd jacket combinations as well.

I wonder if a coffee brown such as these Tricker's would be too light for the suit. Hard to tell on work monitors. https://www.trickers.com/uk/mens/town-shoes/trenton-9616.html

Those are a nice pair of adelaides and I think they would work quite well with the suit.

Grabbed the green, but will be returning it, sadly. Fits a fair bit slimmer than my flannel/tweed/linen SCs, especially in the sleeves, and also is brown under the fluorescent and LED lights in my house. Even in sunlight it’s not nearly as green as last years tweed, which had plenty of brown flecks.

Can you post a pic? Hard to imagine how that very green jacket reads as brown under indoor lights.
