@applky dude, you seriously have the best suit collection ever. What great photos!

Thanks Mike! That’s very kind of you to say. I really appreciate it. Looking forward to the four more incoming Single Cuts!

@Epaulet You know my preference for loud and obnoxious shants... is there such a thing as loud and obnoxious linens and other summer weights for trousers? :p

Brown suit from a few EFFs ago, a S150s VBC brown graycast twill. There are a few brown or burgundy suiting options this this time around. Don't sleep on them! I wear this thing constantly.

EP Individualized DJA Sea Island Cotton shirt. (Tie and PS are Vanda.)

I spy with my little eye a very special pocket square rising from the ashes...

Sharp eye! Yes it is the Vanda Phoenix. Should have gone with a puff over a fold in this case, but it was a worthwhile experiment.

@Epaulet timeline on the Gitman EFf? Sorry.... Only caught a few seconds of the live IG, then all hell broke loose. Kids got in a brawl, and well... we all know the rest....

Pics would be great

Anyone care to weigh in with their pics for a blue linen from this round of sport coats?

Depends what your after but that Albini indigo is about as good as a blue linen gets. I like a saturated blue coloured linen.

Lighter versions can come off as cheap IMO

I would have taken this fabric if I didn't already have one of the indigo cotton Sinclairs en route.

Fox Bros. looks really cool, but I'm not so great with light jackets.

I think either of the indigo linens or the washed denim would make a great casual sport coat but the robin's egg might be my favorite. It's a bit lighter but not so light and bright that it looks like you should be wearing it as you pull up to your South Florida country club in your Buick with the landau roof for dinner at 4:00 p.m. (the Fox Brothers Indigo Linen would be my second choice).

IMO, the emerald, topaz, and sea foam are all too jewel tone-y for my tastes.
