Nice. I'd probably lose an inch on the lapel width, but that pattern sure is cool.

Question: for the jacket, this looks dapper. Would you wear an entire suit of this pattern?

I'll have to think about this one for a while. But I'm sure one of my tailors could talk me into it. And I know one that might try.

I'd also narrow the lapel.

As Carley Fiorina might say, "What's with that hat?"

I would not. It is great as a jacket but just too much as a suit.
