Cream Flannel Pinstripe - Should I?

[bigbris1]

Thinking about picking up a cream pinstripe in a 2 season flannel. Just not sure if I should do it based on the weight. The only other beige/tan/cream suit I own is 100% cotton which I hope to replace next summer.






Can this be pulled off in cooler months? Sundays?

Thanks

Yes, do it!

yeah, that's cool. I also like a summer linen version of it. Not sure I could wear either.

Stripes on cream = :barfsmiley:

I have been watching this suit as well. Very nice looking, but might be a bit too heavy for anything other than fall and winter. But, I so go for it.

Go for it, I think it's a great piece.

 

[Hoofit]

Can't beat that price BTW. Go for it.

If you're lighter complexion, I would say no.

Rather like the suit worn by Sebastian while on holiday in Venice in the BBC Brideshead Revisited series from the early 1980s. Awesome look. Buy it without hesitation.

I like it. I agree with dr. no if you're a beige colour you will looked washed out. Unless you match it up with a dark colour. Also my oh my if you bring it into the colder month you can put argyles and other lovely patterns. This can go for fall winter and spring if you put it with the right pieces. Go for it!

I am a golden bronze color. Light colors look great on me (or so I am told).

Of course it's a window but really, how far removed are they?
