Does it apply when you are the boss?

You should have one by now. What are you waiting for?

Don't worry...there is this awesome GMTO going on for a navy chalk stripe...so we can solve this minor problem for you.

I've still not come around on a stripe suit for myself, I've just never seen one that was quite right. I never thought much about my reasons why until I read this - it's exactly what my hesitations have been; it's like you read my mind for me.

If this isn't the perfect middle-of-the-road stripes, it's at least straddling costume'y and dandy'ish well enough for me to seriously consider; as in for the first time "I can see myself in those stripes"

Haha, honestly, I'd probably get more IM sweaters first. My first priority is gloves though. Somehow I lost yet another one...

Ok. So now?

You can easily speed this up by placing an order for me, Stitch, and Newcomer. Tis the season to be jolly!

Yep!

Yeah, I am kind of in your boat Don. Which is unfortunate, because I think it would be a very, very cool suit.

I dont get it. A wide chalk stripe suit does not seem very bold to me. Could wear it just about anytime I would otherwise be wearing a suit.

I think he means its connotation as a "power suit"...but i really think that this fabric is more refined and elegant...especially being flannel and not some shiny pinstriped fabric.

i think this is a must-have grail type of suit...every style icon i can think of owned chalk stripe flannel suits....

Power shmower, its a must have. I need one so hard. : (

I have a (flannel) navy chalk stripe. I hardly use it, mainly because I feel it too flashy for a lot of occasions. Tbh I bought it because it looked so good on a rack, and had to have it. It does fill a need, but for me it's not your third or even fifth suit. Ymmv of course

All this talk of chalk stripe and I need to break mine out for tomorrow. I'll pair with a nice NMWA tie of course.

Leaning towards the Monitaly 5 pockets in Charcoal as my next pickup. Don't see them get much play on here but I think they look great

Speaking of Merino... I hope this doesn't violate any rules, but if anyone is considering parting with their size III/IV Merino, I have a very loving home for it, so let me know

Came so close to picking one up from another member but I sadly waited a bit too longer to decide and missed that opportunity.
