Anyone with great pictures of chalk stripes or double pinstripes?

I'll post a pic if it's not too warm when it gets here.

Here's a Brioni MTM number in a flannel chalkstripe:

- B



That's a very nice suit. Chalk stripes are just so bold.....I can't imagine wearing a full chalk stripe suit in an office...On a date, sure. A work-related activity (out of the office), why not? However, it just screams "I'M STRIPED" too loudly for me to wear it in the office.

Are you American? The chalk stripe is a classic English business suit.

Firstly: He's British, we don't match are ties to our bloody shirts. In fact we don't match our ties period. Thatz for tehz gheys and teh Eye-tal-i-ans, innit

In this TV show, Dance, is playing an academic, the tie he is wearing is the college tie. It's not uncommon for some British men, especially the older ones to wear the same tie ad infinitum, especially if he's been in the forces and it's his regimental tie.

This might be the most outrageously striped suit in the history of men's fashion:

Mid grey. Best flannel colour, IMO.

Great suit!

 

[aj_del]

NOBD's suit is the only one I like. The rest are too bold for my taste

In that case flannel is your best bet.

Not a great pic but for the cloth- chalkstripe flannel.
