One gap in my wardrobe is this: I do not have a suit for chilly weather...and, yes, we do get a fair amount even in Southern California. I was planning to get something from about a 400-gram fabric, perhaps one of the Harrison's fabrics--either a worsted from their Oyster collection or one of their flannels. I am inclining toward a flannel, but I have some concerns about durability. I very much doubt if I shall wear the suit more than about 40 times at most during the few remaining years left to me. Am I likely cause excessive wear on the trousers, which I gather are the weak point of a flannel suit, if I wear it maybe three times a year, or will it stand up well to that limited amount of use? Would I be better off with the superior durability of a medium-heavy worsted?
The tailors will, of course, be my friends from Kowloon.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be welcome.
